czlonkowski 1a926630b8 fix: enhance error output validation to detect incorrect configurations
- Add validateErrorOutputConfiguration method to detect when multiple nodes are incorrectly placed in main[0]
- Fix checkWorkflowPatterns to check main[1] for error outputs instead of outputs.error
- Cross-validate onError property matches actual connection structure
- Provide clear error messages with JSON examples showing correct configuration
- Use heuristic detection for error handler nodes (names containing error, fail, catch, etc.)
- Add comprehensive test coverage with 16+ test cases
- Bump version to 2.12.1

Fixes issues where AI agents would incorrectly configure error outputs by placing multiple nodes in the same array instead of separating them into success (main[0]) and error (main[1]) paths.

MCP Protocol Integration Tests

This directory contains comprehensive integration tests for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation in n8n-mcp.

Test Structure

Core Tests

  • basic-connection.test.ts - Tests basic MCP server functionality and tool execution
  • protocol-compliance.test.ts - Tests JSON-RPC 2.0 compliance and protocol specifications
  • tool-invocation.test.ts - Tests all MCP tool categories and their invocation
  • session-management.test.ts - Tests session lifecycle, multiple sessions, and recovery
  • error-handling.test.ts - Tests error handling, edge cases, and invalid inputs
  • performance.test.ts - Performance benchmarks and stress tests

Helper Files

  • test-helpers.ts - TestableN8NMCPServer wrapper for testing with custom transports

Running Tests

# Run all MCP protocol tests
npm test -- tests/integration/mcp-protocol/

# Run specific test file
npm test -- tests/integration/mcp-protocol/basic-connection.test.ts

# Run with coverage
npm test -- tests/integration/mcp-protocol/ --coverage

Test Coverage

These tests ensure:

  • JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol compliance
  • Proper request/response handling
  • All tool categories are tested
  • Error handling and edge cases
  • Session management and lifecycle
  • Performance and scalability

Known Issues

  1. The InMemoryTransport from MCP SDK has some limitations with connection lifecycle
  2. Tests use the actual database, so they require data/nodes.db to exist
  3. Some tests are currently skipped due to transport issues (being worked on)

Future Improvements

  1. Mock the database for true unit testing
  2. Add WebSocket transport tests
  3. Add authentication/authorization tests
  4. Add rate limiting tests
  5. Add more performance benchmarks
