# CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
## Project Overview
This is the n8n-mcp repository, a complete integration between n8n (workflow automation tool) and MCP (Model Context Protocol). The project enables bidirectional communication between n8n workflows and AI assistants through MCP.
## Current State
The repository contains a fully implemented integration with:
### Core Components
- **MCP Server** (`src/mcp/server.ts`): Exposes n8n workflows and operations as MCP tools
- **n8n Custom Node** (`src/n8n/MCPNode.node.ts`): Allows n8n workflows to connect to MCP servers
- **Bridge Layer** (`src/utils/bridge.ts`): Converts between n8n and MCP data formats
- **Node Source Extractor** (`src/utils/node-source-extractor.ts`): Extracts n8n node source code
### Available MCP Tools
- `execute_workflow` - Execute an n8n workflow by ID
- `list_workflows` - List all available workflows
- `get_workflow` - Get workflow details
- `create_workflow` - Create new workflows
- `update_workflow` - Update existing workflows
- `delete_workflow` - Delete workflows
- `get_executions` - Get workflow execution history
- `get_execution_data` - Get detailed execution data
- **`get_node_source_code`** - Extract source code of any n8n node (including AI Agent)
- **`list_available_nodes`** - List all available n8n nodes
### Infrastructure
- TypeScript/Node.js project with full build system
- Docker support with multiple compose configurations
- Comprehensive test suite with 100% passing tests
- Authentication and error handling systems
## Development Notes
### Building and Testing
```bash
npm install # Install dependencies
npm run build # Build TypeScript
npm test # Run tests
npm run dev # Development mode
```
### Testing AI Agent Extraction
The project includes special functionality to extract n8n node source code:
```bash
# Run the AI Agent extraction test
./scripts/test-ai-agent-extraction.sh
# Or test with standalone script
node tests/test-mcp-extraction.js
```
### Docker Operations
```bash
# Development environment
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up
# Test environment with AI node extraction
docker-compose -f docker-compose.test.yml up
# Production deployment
docker-compose up
```

## Key Features Implemented
1. **Bidirectional Integration**
- n8n workflows can call MCP tools
- MCP servers can execute n8n workflows
2. **Node Source Extraction**
- Extract source code of any n8n node
- Special support for AI Agent node from @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain
- Includes credential definitions and package metadata
3. **Comprehensive API**
- Full CRUD operations on workflows
- Execution management and history
- Resource-based access patterns
4. **Security**
- Token-based authentication
- Read-only file system access for node extraction
- Proper error handling and logging
## Important Considerations
### When Adding New Features
1. Update the corresponding tool definitions in `src/mcp/tools.ts`
2. Implement handler methods in `src/mcp/server.ts`
3. Add appropriate error handling
4. Update tests and documentation
### Node Source Extraction Paths
The NodeSourceExtractor searches these paths:
- `/usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules`
- `/app/node_modules`
- `/home/node/.n8n/custom/nodes`
- `./node_modules`
### Testing Considerations
- Always run `npm run build` before testing
- Use `npm run typecheck` to verify TypeScript types
- Docker environments mount n8n's node_modules as read-only volumes
## Current Capabilities
The MCP server can:
- ✅ Execute and manage n8n workflows
- ✅ Extract source code from any n8n node
- ✅ Provide AI assistants with workflow automation capabilities
- ✅ Bridge between n8n's automation and AI decision-making
The n8n node can:
- ✅ Connect to any MCP server
- ✅ Call MCP tools from workflows
- ✅ Read MCP resources
- ✅ Use MCP prompts in automation
