🚨
Secret credentials may flow to a network call
2 flows detected: MCP_AUTH_TOKEN, AUTH_TOKEN. We can’t prove the destination matches the brand the credential belongs to.
🚨
Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 11 critical, 56 high
Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.
🔐
You'll be asked for 4 credentials: AUTH_TOKEN, MCP_AUTH_TOKEN, N8N_MCP_LLM_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.

n8n_create_workflow

Create workflow. Requires: name, nodes[], connections{}. Created inactive. Returns workflow with ID.

n8n_get_workflow

Get workflow by ID with different detail levels. Use mode='full' for complete workflow, 'details' for metadata+stats, 'structure' for nodes/connections only, 'minimal' for id/name/active/tags.

n8n_update_full_workflow

Full workflow update. Requires complete nodes[] and connections{}. For incremental use n8n_update_partial_workflow.

n8n_update_partial_workflow

Update workflow incrementally with diff operations. Types: addNode, removeNode, updateNode, moveNode, enable/disableNode, addConnection, removeConnection, updateSettings, updateName, add/removeTag. See tools_documentation("n8n_update_partial_workflow", "full") for details.

n8n_delete_workflow

Permanently delete a workflow. This action cannot be undone.

n8n_list_workflows

List workflows (minimal metadata only). Returns id/name/active/dates/tags. Check hasMore/nextCursor for pagination.

n8n_validate_workflow

Validate workflow by ID. Checks nodes, connections, expressions. Returns errors/warnings/suggestions.

n8n_autofix_workflow

Automatically fix common workflow validation errors. Preview fixes or apply them. Fixes expression format, typeVersion, error output config, webhook paths.

n8n_test_workflow

Test/trigger workflow execution. Auto-detects trigger type (webhook/form/chat). Supports: webhook (HTTP), form (fields), chat (message). Note: Only workflows with these trigger types can be executed externally.

n8n_executions

Manage workflow executions: get details, list, or delete. Use action='get' with id for execution details, action='list' for listing executions, action='delete' to remove execution record.

n8n_health_check

Check n8n instance health and API connectivity. Use mode='diagnostic' for detailed troubleshooting with env vars and tool status.

n8n_workflow_versions

Manage workflow version history, rollback, and cleanup. Six modes: - list: Show version history for a workflow - get: Get details of specific version - rollback: Restore workflow to previous version (creates backup first) - delete: Delete specific version or all versions for a workflow - prune: Manu

n8n_deploy_template

Deploy a workflow template from n8n.io directly to your n8n instance. Deploys first, then auto-fixes common issues (expression format, typeVersions). Returns workflow ID, required credentials, and fixes applied.

tools_documentation

Get documentation for n8n MCP tools. Call without parameters for quick start guide. Use topic parameter to get documentation for specific tools. Use depth='full' for comprehensive documentation.

search_nodes

Search n8n nodes by keyword with optional real-world examples. Pass query as string. Example: query="webhook" or query="database". Returns max 20 results. Use includeExamples=true to get top 2 template configs per node.

get_node

Get node info with progressive detail levels and multiple modes. Detail: minimal (~200 tokens), standard (~1-2K, default), full (~3-8K). Modes: info (default), docs (markdown documentation), search_properties (find properties), versions/compare/breaking/migrations (version info). Use format='docs' f

validate_node

Validate n8n node configuration. Use mode='full' for comprehensive validation with errors/warnings/suggestions, mode='minimal' for quick required fields check. Example: nodeType="nodes-base.slack", config={resource:"channel",operation:"create"}

get_template

Get template by ID. Use mode to control response size: nodes_only (minimal), structure (nodes+connections), full (complete workflow).

search_templates

Search templates with multiple modes. Use searchMode='keyword' for text search, 'by_nodes' to find templates using specific nodes, 'by_task' for curated task-based templates, 'by_metadata' for filtering by complexity/setup time/services.

validate_workflow

Full workflow validation: structure, connections, expressions, AI tools. Returns errors/warnings/fixes. Essential before deploy.

All four hints declared on every tool

17/20 tools missing one or more hints — n8n_create_workflow (missing: idempotentHint); n8n_get_workflow (missing: destructiveHint); n8n_delete_workflow (missing: idempotentHint), +14 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Production dependencies are patched

10 critical, 44 high severity in production deps — form-data@4.0.0 (critical), n8n@2.8.3 (critical)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

Dev dependencies

13 critical/high in dev-only deps (does not ship to users)

Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 3 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
