35
+ ## AI AGENT: Follow These Instructions
36
+
37
+ ### STEP 1 — Detect Environment
38
+
39
+ Determine your capabilities and the user's platform.
40
+
41
+ **Can you execute commands?**
42
+ ```
43
+ Can I run shell commands?
44
+ ├─ YES (Claude Code, Cowork mode, Gemini CLI) → Go to STEP 2a (Auto-Install)
45
+ └─ NO (Claude Desktop Chat-only) → Go to STEP 2b (Guided Install)
46
+ ```
47
+
48
+ **Detect platform:**
49
+ ```
50
+ What OS is the user on?
51
+ ├─ macOS → Config paths use ~/Library/Application Support/
52
+ ├─ Windows → Config paths use %APPDATA%\
53
+ └─ Linux → Config paths use ~/.config/
54
+ ```
55
+
56
+ ---
57
+
58
+ ### STEP 2a — Auto-Install (can run commands)
59
+
60
+ **Prerequisites — verify first:**
61
+
62
+ ```bash
63
+ node --version
64
+ # Must be v18.0.0 or higher. If not installed, tell the user to install from https://nodejs.org/
65
+ ```
66
+
67
+ **Then install based on which client the user wants:**
68
+
69
+ #### Claude Code
70
+
71
+ Run this single command:
72
+
73
+ ```bash
74
+ claude mcp add p58-n8n -- npx -y @path58/p58-n8n
75
+ ```
76
+
77
+ Done. Skip to STEP 3.
78
+
79
+ #### Claude Desktop (Cowork mode — can write files)
80
+
81
+ Read the existing config file first, then MERGE the p58-n8n entry. NEVER overwrite the entire file.
82
+
83
+ **Config file paths:**
84
+ - macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
85
+ - Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
86
+ - Linux: `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
87
+
88
+ **If file exists:** Read it, parse the JSON, add this entry inside `mcpServers`:
89
+
90
+ ```json
91
+ "p58-n8n": {
92
+ "command": "npx",
93
+ "args": ["-y", "@path58/p58-n8n"]
94
+ }
95
+ ```
96
+
97
+ **If file doesn't exist:** Create it with:
98
+
99
+ ```json
100
+ {
101
+ "mcpServers": {
102
+ "p58-n8n": {
103
+ "command": "npx",
104
+ "args": ["-y", "@path58/p58-n8n"]
105
+ }
106
+ }
107
+ }
108
+ ```
109
+
110
+ Tell the user to restart Claude Desktop.
111
+
112
+ #### Gemini CLI
113
+
114
+ There is NO `gemini mcp add` command. Edit the config file directly.
115
+
116
+ **Config path:** `~/.gemini/settings.json` (user-level) or `.gemini/settings.json` (project-level)
117
+
118
+ **If file exists:** Read it, parse JSON, add the `p58-n8n` entry inside `mcpServers`.
119
+
120
+ **If file doesn't exist:** Create it with:
121
+
122
+ ```json
123
+ {
124
+ "mcpServers": {
125
+ "p58-n8n": {
126
+ "command": "npx",
127
+ "args": ["-y", "@path58/p58-n8n"]
128
+ }
129
+ }
130
+ }
131
+ ```
132
+
133
+ ---
134
+
135
+ ### STEP 2b — Guided Install (chat-only)
136
+
137
+ Ask the user which client they want to set up, then give them copy-paste instructions.
138
+
139
+ **Ask:** "Which AI client do you want to use P58-n8n with?"
140
+
141
+ #### For Claude Desktop
142
+
143
+ Tell the user:
144
+
145
+ 1. Open your Claude Desktop config file:
146
+ - **macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
147
+ - **Windows:** `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
148
+ - **Linux:** `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
149
+
150
+ 2. Add this inside the `mcpServers` object (create the file if it doesn't exist):
151
+
152
+ ```json
153
+ {
154
+ "mcpServers": {
155
+ "p58-n8n": {
156
+ "command": "npx",
157
+ "args": ["-y", "@path58/p58-n8n"]
158
+ }
159
+ }
160
+ }
161
+ ```
162
+
163
+ 3. Restart Claude Desktop.
164
+
165
+ #### For Claude Code
166
+
167
+ Tell the user to run:
168
+
169
+ ```bash
170
+ claude mcp add p58-n8n -- npx -y @path58/p58-n8n
171
+ ```
172
+
173
+ #### For Gemini CLI
174
+
175
+ Tell the user:
176
+
177
+ 1. Open `~/.gemini/settings.json` (create if needed)
178
+ 2. Add:
179
+
180
+ ```json
181
+ {
182
+ "mcpServers": {
183
+ "p58-n8n": {
184
+ "command": "npx",
185
+ "args": ["-y", "@path58/p58-n8n"]
186
+ }
187
+ }
188
+ }
189
+ ```
190
+
191
+ #### For ChatGPT Desktop
192
+
193
+ Tell the user: **ChatGPT Desktop is not supported.** It requires HTTP/SSE transport for MCP servers, but P58-n8n uses stdio transport. This may be supported in a future version.
194
+
195
+ ---
196
+
197
+ ### STEP 3 — Verify Installation
198
+
199
+ After setup, test with this prompt:
200
+
201
+ > "List available n8n nodes for email"
202
+
203
+ **Expected result:** The AI calls `list_nodes` and returns nodes like `n8n-nodes-base.gmail`, `n8n-nodes-base.emailSend`, etc.
204
+
205
+ **If it doesn't work:**
206
+
207
+ ```
208
+ Tools not appearing?
209
+ ├─ Config file in wrong location → Check OS-specific paths above
210
+ ├─ Invalid JSON syntax → Validate with: cat <path> | python3 -m json.tool
211
+ ├─ Client not restarted → Close and reopen the AI client
212
+ ├─ npx not found → Install Node.js 18+ from https://nodejs.org/
213
+ └─ Permission error → Try: sudo npm install -g @path58/p58-n8n
214
+
215
+ Server starts but tools don't work?
216
+ ├─ Database not accessible → Server needs network access to Supabase
217
+ ├─ Timeout errors → Check internet connection
218
+ └─ "Module not found" → Run: npm install -g @path58/p58-n8n (reinstall)
219
+ ```

8
+ ## [0.2.0] - 2026-03-08
9
+
10
+ ### Added
11
+
12
+ - **26 new MCP tools** — total now 34 across 7 tiers (up from 8 in v0.1.0)
13
+ - **Tier 2 — Server CRUD (7 tools):** `get_workflow`, `list_workflows`, `create_workflow`, `update_workflow`, `delete_workflow`, `execute_workflow`, `get_execution_result`
14
+ - **Tier 3 — Advanced Operations (5 tools):** `validated_create`, `validated_update`, `activate_workflow`, `get_session_metrics`, `server_health`
15
+ - **Tier 4 — Tool Parity (5 tools):** `test_workflow`, `server_autofix`, `partial_update_workflow`, `manage_executions`, `deploy_template`
16
+ - **Tier 5 — Workflow Generation (2 tools):** `plan_workflow`, `build_workflow`
17
+ - **Tier 6 — Credential Management (6 tools):** `list_credentials`, `get_credential_schema`, `create_credential`, `test_credential`, `update_credential`, `delete_credential`
18
+ - **Tier 7 — Config Intelligence (1 tool):** `collect_config`
19
+ - **Credential management** — full lifecycle: list, inspect schema (679 credential types), create, health-check, update, delete; 3-layer redaction prevents secrets in tool output
20
+ - **Workflow generation pipeline** — `plan_workflow` + `build_workflow` produce validated workflows from natural language; multi-pass auto-fix runs automatically
21
+ - **Config intelligence** — `collect_config` detects missing node configuration using 2,494 known gaps
22
+ - **validated_create / validated_update** — L1-L6 validation runs before any deploy; rejects invalid JSON before it reaches the n8n server
23
+ - **Diff-based updates** — `partial_update_workflow` applies node-level patches without replacing the entire workflow
24
+ - **K2 sandbox testing** — `test_workflow` validates workflow logic using mock credential responses (no real API calls required)
25
+ - **Session cost metrics** — every tool response includes token usage and cost; `get_session_metrics` returns cumulative session totals
26
+ - **Auto-fixer expanded** — 35 production fixers (up from 26), including 5 new L6 V2 fixers for flow integrity and an LLM fallback fixer
27
+ - **L5 safety guard** — prevents destructive auto-fixes on uncataloged community nodes
28
+ - **Catalog refreshed (2026-03-08)** — nodes: 1,545 (1,482 core + 63 community), credentials: 679, operations: 12,619, parameters: 38,005
29
+ - **Cursor and Windsurf support** — installation guide updated with setup instructions for both IDEs
30
+ - **Benchmark results (RAG-4.36)** — 287-observation study: p58 90% vs n8n-mcp 35% vs FlowEngine 35% vs no-MCP 25%; $0.25/prompt vs $0.76 (67% cheaper)
31
+
32
+ ### Changed
33
+
34
+ - README completely rewritten to reflect v0.2.0 capabilities, fresh catalog counts, and competitive positioning
35
+ - TOOLS.md updated with all 34 tools, full input/output schemas, and configuration guide
36
+ - INSTALLATION.md updated with Cursor, Windsurf, and multi-environment setup
37
+
38
+ ### Fixed
39
+
40
+ - `partial_update_workflow` connection format bug — n8n expects `{ main: [[targets]] }` wrapper (was crashing on all models)
41
+ - `server_autofix` JSON string input — now accepts workflow as JSON string or object
42
+ - n8n rejects empty `pinData: {}` — removed from workflow payload when empty
43
+
44
+ ## [0.1.1] - 2026-02-06
45
+
46
+ ### Fixed
47
+
48
+ - Bundle MCP server with esbuild to resolve private registry dependency (`@tsvika58/shared-utilities`) for `npx` installs
49
+ - Set npm package access to public (scoped packages default to private)
50
+
51
+ ### Changed
52
+
53
+ - `bin` entry now points to bundled CJS file (`dist/mcp/server.bundle.cjs`) for universal compatibility
54
+ - Moved `@tsvika58/shared-utilities` from runtime to dev dependency (bundled into dist)
55
+
56
+ ## [0.1.0] - 2026-02-06
57
+

+ # p58-n8n — The n8n MCP Server That Gets Workflows Right
2
+
3
+ **Build n8n workflows from plain English. First try. Every time.**
4
+

+ [![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@path58/p58-n8n)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@path58/p58-n8n)

7
+ [![Tests](https://github.com/tsvika58/n8n-workflow-validator/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/tsvika58/n8n-workflow-validator/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
8
+
9
+ p58-n8n is an MCP server that gives your AI assistant deep knowledge of n8n — **1,545 nodes**, **12,619 operations**, **38,005 parameter rules** — so it can plan, build, validate, fix, and deploy workflows correctly. No manual iteration. No broken JSON.
10
+
11
+ ---
12
+
13
+ ## Quick Start (< 2 minutes)
14
+
15
+ ### 1. Install
16
+
17
+ **Via npx (no install needed):**
18
+ ```bash
19
+ npx -y @path58/p58-n8n
20
+ ```
21
+
22
+ **Or install globally:**
23
+ ```bash
24
+ npm install -g @path58/p58-n8n
25
+ ```
26
+
27
+ ### 2. Configure your AI client
28
+
29
+ **Claude Code** (one command):
30
+ ```bash
31
+ claude mcp add p58-n8n -- npx -y @path58/p58-n8n
32
+ ```
33
+
34
+ **Claude Desktop** — add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:
35
+ ```json
36
+ {
37
+ "mcpServers": {
38
+ "p58-n8n": {
39
+ "command": "npx",
40
+ "args": ["-y", "@path58/p58-n8n"]
41
+ }
42
+ }
43
+ }
44
+ ```
45
+
46
+ Config file location: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS) or `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` (Windows). Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
47
+
48
+ **Cursor / Windsurf** — see [docs/INSTALLATION.md](docs/INSTALLATION.md) for full multi-client setup.
49
+
50
+ ### 3. Try it
51
+
52
+ ```
53
+ Build me a workflow that monitors a Google Sheet and sends a Slack message
54
+ when a new row is added. Use the Google Sheets and Slack credentials I already
55
+ have configured in n8n.
56
+ ```
57
+
58
+ p58-n8n will plan the workflow, look up the exact node parameters, validate the JSON against L1-L6 rules, wire your existing credentials, and deploy it to your n8n instance — in one conversation.
59
+
60
+ ---
61
+
62
+ ## What Makes p58 Different
63
+
64
+ ### Benchmark: 90% success rate on real-world workflows
65
+
66
+ | | **p58-n8n** | **n8n-mcp** | **FlowEngine** | **Claude alone** |
67
+ |---|---|---|---|---|
68
+ | **Workflow success rate** | **90%** | 35% | 35% | 25% |
69
+ | **Cost per prompt** | **$0.25** | $0.76 | — | ~$0.05 |
70
+ | **Credential management** | ✅ Full CRUD | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
71
+ | **Config intelligence** | ✅ 2,494 known gaps | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
72
+
73
+ *Benchmarked on 287 real-world workflow generation tasks across Sonnet, Opus, and Haiku models.*
74
+
75
+ ### The full pipeline — not just JSON generation
76
+
77
+ Most tools generate workflow JSON and stop. p58-n8n runs the complete cycle:
78
+
79
+ ```
80
+ plan_workflow → build_workflow → validate (L1-L6) → server_autofix →
81
+ wire credentials → collect_config → validated_create → execute_workflow
82
+ ```
83
+
84
+ Every step is backed by structured catalog data. No guessing.
85
+
86
+ ### Deep validation — 6 levels, not vibes
87
+
88
+ ```
89
+ L1 Structure → L2 Nodes → L3 Credentials → L4 Connections → L5 Parameters → L6 Patterns
90
+ ~30ms ~60ms ~80ms ~180ms ~850ms ~200ms
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ L5 alone checks 38,005 parameter rules. L6 catches dead ends, retry loops without error handlers, and hardcoded secrets. Combined: ~1.4 seconds for a full audit.
94
+
95
+ ### 35 auto-fixers — not a prompt
96
+
97
+ When validation fails, p58-n8n applies deterministic fixes: reconnect orphaned nodes, add missing credentials, patch wrong parameter types, rebuild broken flow paths. 97%+ success rate. Zero LLM cost.
98
+
99
+ ### Credential management — a category no competitor touches
100
+
101
+ ```
102
+ list_credentials → get_credential_schema → create_credential →
103
+ test_credential → update_credential → delete_credential
104

105
+
106
+ The AI can discover what credentials your n8n instance has, look up what fields any of 679 credential types need, create or update credentials, health-check them, and wire them into new workflows — all without leaving the conversation.
107
+
108
+ ### 67% cheaper than the alternative
109
+
110
+ p58-n8n uses 80% less token context than n8n-mcp by serving structured catalog data instead of documentation blobs. At scale: $0.25/prompt vs $0.76 for czlonkowski.

+ ## Examples
190
+
191
+ ### Build a Slack notification workflow
192
+
193
+ ```
194
+ Plan and build me a workflow that triggers every day at 9am, queries a PostgreSQL
195
+ database for orders placed in the last 24 hours, and posts a summary to the
196
+ #daily-reports Slack channel.
197
+ ```
198
+
199
+ p58-n8n will: call `plan_workflow` → `build_workflow` → `validate_workflow` (L1-L6) → `list_credentials` to find your Slack and PostgreSQL credentials → `validated_create` to deploy to n8n.
200
+
201
+ ### Fix a broken workflow
202
+
203
+ ```
204
+ I imported this workflow from n8n.io but it has errors. Can you validate and fix it?
205
+ [paste workflow JSON]
206
+ ```
207
+
208
+ p58-n8n will: call `validate_workflow` → identify L1-L6 issues → call `server_autofix` to apply all 35 fixers → return the repaired workflow with a diff of what changed.
209
+
210
+ ### Set up credentials and deploy
211
+
212
+ ```
213
+ I need to create a Slack credential and then use it in a new workflow.
214
+ My Slack bot token is in my clipboard.
215
+ ```
216
+
217
+ p58-n8n will: call `get_credential_schema` for Slack → `create_credential` with validation → `test_credential` to verify → wire it into the workflow → deploy.

+ ## Benchmarks
234
+
235
+ Benchmarked on 287 real-world workflow generation tasks using prompts from the n8n community. Tests ran across three models (Haiku 4.5, Sonnet 4.6, Opus 4.6) with four configurations (p58-n8n, n8n-mcp, FlowEngine, and no MCP server).
236
+
237
+ | Metric | p58-n8n | n8n-mcp | FlowEngine | No MCP |
238
+ |--------|---------|---------|------------|--------|
239
+ | **Overall success rate** | **90%** | 35% | 35% | 25% |
240
+ | **Sonnet 4.6** | 80% | — | — | — |
241
+ | **Opus 4.6** | 80% | — | — | — |
242
+ | **Haiku 4.5** | 60% | — | — | — |
243
+ | **Cost per prompt** | $0.25 | $0.76 | — | ~$0.05 |
244
+ | **Credential prompts** | **78%** | 0% | 0% | 0% |

267
+ ## Architecture
268
+
269
+ p58-n8n runs as a local stdio MCP server. No cloud services required for basic use.
270
+
271
+ ```
272
+ AI Client (Claude / Cursor / Windsurf)
273
+ ↕ MCP Protocol (stdio)
274
+ p58-n8n Server
275
+ ├── Validation Engine (L1-L6, ~1.4s)
276
+ ├── AutoFix Engine (35 fixers, 97%+ success)
277
+ ├── Node Catalog (1,545 nodes, 12,619 ops, 38,005 params)
278
+ └── n8n API Client (deploy, execute, credential management)
279
+ ```
280
+
281
+ **Prerequisites:** Node.js 18+ and a running n8n instance (for server CRUD and credential tools; validation and catalog tools work offline).
