# Instructions for Using CRCT v7.0
These instructions assume youre using the Cline VS Code extension with CRCT v7.0. The system automates most tasks via the LLM, but some manual steps are needed to get started.
---
## Prerequisites
- **VS Code**: Installed with the Cline extension.
- **Python**: 3.8+ with `pip`.
- **Git**: To clone the repo.
---
## Step 1: Setup
1. **Clone the Repository**:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/RPG-fan/Cline-Recursive-Chain-of-Thought-System-CRCT-.git
cd Cline-Recursive-Chain-of-Thought-System-CRCT-
```
2. **Install Dependencies**:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
*Includes `sentence-transformers` for embeddings.*
3. **Open in VS Code**:
- Launch VS Code and open the `cline/` folder.
4. **Configure Cline**:
- Open the Cline extension settings.
- Paste the contents of `cline_docs/prompts/core_prompt(put this in Custom Instructions).md` into the system prompt field.
---
## Step 2: Initialize the System
1. **Start the LLM**:
- In the Cline input, type `Start.` and run it.
- The LLM will:
- Read `.clinerules` (or create it if missing).
- Load the `Set-up/Maintenance` plugin.
- Initialize core files in `cline_docs/`.
2. **Follow Prompts**:
- The LLM may ask for input (e.g., project goals for `projectbrief.md`).
- Provide concise answers to help it populate files.
3. **Verify Setup**:
- Check `cline_docs/` for new files (e.g., `dependency_tracker.md`).
- Ensure `[CODE_ROOT_DIRECTORIES]` in `.clinerules` lists `src/` (edit manually if needed).
---
## Step 3: Populate Dependency Trackers
1. **Run Initial Setup**:
- Input: `Perform initial setup and populate dependency trackers.`
- The LLM will:
- Identify code roots (e.g., `src/`).
- Generate `dependency_tracker.md` and `doc_tracker.md` using `dependency_processor.py`.
- Suggest and validate dependencies.
2. **Manual Validation (if prompted)**:
- The LLM may present dependency suggestions (e.g., JSON output).
- Confirm or adjust characters (`<`, `>`, `x`, etc.) as prompted.
---
## Step 4: Plan and Execute
1. **Enter Strategy Phase**:
- Once trackers are populated, the LLM will transition to `Strategy` (check `.clinerules`).
- Input: `Plan the next steps for my project.`
- Output: New instruction files in `strategy_tasks/` or `src/`.
2. **Execute Tasks**:
- Input: `Execute the planned tasks.`
- The LLM will follow instruction files, update files, and apply the MUP.
---
## Tips
- **Monitor `activeContext.md`**: Tracks current state and priorities.
- **Check `.clinerules`**: Shows the current phase and next action.
- **Debugging**: If stuck, try `Review the current state and suggest next steps.`
---
## Notes
- CRCT v7.0 is a work-in-progress. Expect minor bugs (e.g., tracker initialization).
- The LLM handles most commands (`generate-keys`, `set_char`, etc.) automatically.
- For custom projects, populate `src/` and `docs/` before starting.

```
## Execution Status Codes
Executions can have the following status codes:
| Status | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `running` | The execution is currently in progress |
| `success` | The execution completed successfully |
| `error` | The execution failed with an error |
| `waiting` | The execution is waiting for a webhook or other event |
| `cancelled` | The execution was manually stopped |
## Error Handling
All execution tools can return the following errors:
| Error | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| Authentication Error | The provided API key is invalid or missing |
| Not Found Error | The requested workflow or execution does not exist |
| Validation Error | The input parameters are invalid or incomplete |
| Permission Error | The API key does not have permission to perform the operation |
| Server Error | An unexpected error occurred on the n8n server |
## Best Practices
- Check if a workflow is active before attempting to execute it
- Use `waitForCompletion: true` for short-running workflows, but be cautious with long-running workflows
- Always handle potential errors when executing workflows
- Filter executions by status to find problematic runs
- Use execution IDs from `execution_run` responses to track workflow progress

# API Reference
This section provides a comprehensive reference for the n8n MCP Server API, including all available tools and resources.
## Overview
The n8n MCP Server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide AI assistants with access to n8n workflows and executions. The API is divided into two main categories:
1. **Tools**: Executable functions that can perform operations on n8n, such as creating workflows or starting executions.
2. **Resources**: Data sources that provide information about workflows and executions.
## API Architecture
The n8n MCP Server follows a clean separation of concerns:
- **Client Layer**: Handles communication with the n8n API
- **Transport Layer**: Implements the MCP protocol for communication with AI assistants
- **Tools Layer**: Exposes executable operations to AI assistants
- **Resources Layer**: Provides data access through URI-based resources
All API interactions are authenticated using the n8n API key configured in your environment.
## Available Tools
The server provides tools for managing workflows and executions:
- [Workflow Tools](./workflow-tools.md): Create, list, update, and delete workflows
- [Execution Tools](./execution-tools.md): Execute workflows and manage workflow executions
## Available Resources
The server provides resources for accessing workflow and execution data:
- [Static Resources](./static-resources.md): Fixed resources like workflow listings or execution statistics
- [Dynamic Resources](./dynamic-resources.md): Parameterized resources for specific workflows or executions
## Understanding Input Schemas
Each tool has an input schema that defines the expected parameters. These schemas follow the JSON Schema format and are automatically provided to AI assistants to enable proper parameter validation and suggestion.
Example input schema for the `workflow_get` tool:
```json
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"id": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The ID of the workflow to retrieve"
}
},
"required": ["id"]
}
```
## Error Handling
All API operations can return errors in a standardized format. Common error scenarios include:
- Authentication failures (invalid or missing API key)
- Resource not found (workflow or execution doesn't exist)
- Permission issues (API key doesn't have required permissions)
- Input validation errors (missing or invalid parameters)
Error responses include detailed messages to help troubleshoot issues.
## Next Steps
Explore the detailed documentation for each category:
- [Workflow Tools](./workflow-tools.md)
- [Execution Tools](./execution-tools.md)
- [Static Resources](./static-resources.md)
- [Dynamic Resources](./dynamic-resources.md)

### n8n://health
Provides health information about the n8n instance.
**URI:** `n8n://health`
**Description:** Returns health status information about the n8n instance including connection status, version, and basic metrics.
**Example Usage:**
```javascript
const resource = await accessMcpResource('n8n-mcp-server', 'n8n://health');
```
**Response:**
```javascript
{
"status": "healthy",
"n8nVersion": "1.5.0",
"uptime": 259200, // seconds (3 days)
"databaseStatus": "connected",
"apiStatus": "operational",
"memoryUsage": {
"rss": "156MB",
"heapTotal": "85MB",
"heapUsed": "72MB"
}
}
```
## Content Types
All static resources return JSON content with the MIME type `application/json`.
## Authentication
Access to static resources requires the same authentication as tools, using the configured n8n API key. If authentication fails, the resource will return an error.
## Error Handling
Static resources can return the following errors:
| HTTP Status | Description |
|-------------|-------------|
| 401 | Unauthorized - Invalid or missing API key |
| 403 | Forbidden - API key does not have permission to access this resource |
| 500 | Internal Server Error - An unexpected error occurred on the n8n server |
## Pagination
Some resources that return large collections (like `n8n://workflows/list`) support pagination. The response includes a `pagination` object with information about whether more results are available.
## Best Practices
- Use static resources for getting an overview of what's available in the n8n instance
- Prefer static resources over tools when you only need to read data
- Check the health resource before performing operations to ensure the n8n instance is operational
- Use execution statistics to monitor the performance and reliability of your workflows

| Authentication Error | The provided API key is invalid or missing |
| Not Found Error | The requested workflow does not exist |
| Validation Error | The input parameters are invalid or incomplete |
| Permission Error | The API key does not have permission to perform the operation |
| Server Error | An unexpected error occurred on the n8n server |
## Best Practices
- Use `workflow_list` to discover available workflows before performing operations
- Validate workflow IDs before attempting to update or delete workflows
- Check workflow status (active/inactive) before attempting activation/deactivation
- Include only the necessary fields when updating workflows to avoid unintended changes

# Architecture
This document describes the architectural design of the n8n MCP Server.
## Overview
The n8n MCP Server follows a layered architecture pattern that separates concerns and promotes maintainability. The main architectural layers are:
1. **Transport Layer**: Handles communication with AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol
2. **API Client Layer**: Interacts with the n8n API
3. **Tools Layer**: Implements executable operations as MCP tools
4. **Resources Layer**: Provides data access through URI-based resources
5. **Configuration Layer**: Manages environment variables and server settings
6. **Error Handling Layer**: Provides consistent error management and reporting
## System Components
![Architecture Diagram](../images/architecture.png.placeholder)
### Entry Point
The server entry point is defined in `src/index.ts`. This file:
1. Initializes the configuration from environment variables
2. Creates and configures the MCP server instance
3. Registers tool and resource handlers
4. Connects to the transport layer (typically stdio)
### Configuration
The configuration layer (`src/config/`) handles:
- Loading environment variables
- Validating required configuration
- Providing typed access to configuration values
The main configuration component is the `Environment` class, which validates and manages environment variables like `N8N_API_URL` and `N8N_API_KEY`.
### API Client
The API client layer (`src/api/`) provides a clean interface for interacting with the n8n API. It includes:
- `N8nClient`: The main client that encapsulates communication with n8n
- API-specific functionality divided by resource type (workflows, executions)
- Authentication handling using the n8n API key
The client uses Axios for HTTP requests and includes error handling specific to the n8n API responses.
### MCP Tools
The tools layer (`src/tools/`) implements the executable operations exposed to AI assistants. Each tool follows a common pattern:
1. A tool definition that specifies name, description, and input schema
2. A handler function that processes input parameters and executes the operation
3. Error handling for validation and execution errors
Tools are categorized by resource type:
- Workflow tools: Create, list, update, delete, activate, and deactivate workflows
- Execution tools: Run, list, and manage workflow executions
Each tool is designed to be independently testable and maintains a clean separation of concerns.
### MCP Resources
The resources layer (`src/resources/`) provides data access through URI-based templates. Resources are divided into two categories:
1. **Static Resources** (`src/resources/static/`): Fixed resources like workflow listings
2. **Dynamic Resources** (`src/resources/dynamic/`): Parameterized resources like specific workflow details
Each resource implements:
- URI pattern matching
- Content retrieval
- Error handling
- Response formatting
### Error Handling
The error handling layer (`src/errors/`) provides consistent error management across the server. It includes:
- Custom error types that map to MCP error codes
- Error translation functions to convert n8n API errors to MCP errors
- Common error patterns and handling strategies
## Data Flow
A typical data flow through the system:
1. AI assistant sends a request via stdin to the MCP server
2. Server routes the request to the appropriate handler based on the request type
3. Handler validates input and delegates to the appropriate tool or resource
4. Tool/resource uses the n8n API client to interact with n8n
5. Response is processed, formatted, and returned via stdout
6. AI assistant receives and processes the response
## Key Design Principles
### 1. Separation of Concerns
Each component has a single responsibility, making the codebase easier to understand, test, and extend.
### 2. Type Safety
TypeScript interfaces and types are used extensively to ensure type safety and provide better developer experience.
### 3. Error Handling
Comprehensive error handling ensures that errors are caught at the appropriate level and translated into meaningful messages for AI assistants.
### 4. Testability
The architecture supports unit testing by keeping components loosely coupled and maintaining clear boundaries between layers.
### 5. Extensibility
New tools and resources can be added without modifying existing code, following the open-closed principle.
## Implementation Patterns
### Factory Pattern
Used for creating client instances and tool handlers based on configuration.
### Adapter Pattern
The n8n API client adapts the n8n API to the internal representation used by the server.
### Strategy Pattern
Different resource handlers implement a common interface but provide different strategies for retrieving and formatting data.
### Decorator Pattern
Used to add cross-cutting concerns like logging and error handling to base functionality.
## Core Files and Their Purposes
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `src/index.ts` | Main entry point, initializes and configures the server |
| `src/config/environment.ts` | Manages environment variables and configuration |
| `src/api/n8n-client.ts` | Main client for interacting with the n8n API |
| `src/tools/workflow/handler.ts` | Handles workflow-related tool requests |
| `src/tools/execution/handler.ts` | Handles execution-related tool requests |
| `src/resources/index.ts` | Registers and manages resource handlers |
| `src/resources/dynamic/workflow.ts` | Provides access to specific workflow resources |
| `src/resources/static/workflows.ts` | Provides access to workflow listings |
| `src/errors/index.ts` | Defines and manages error types and handling |
## Extension Points
To extend the server with new capabilities:
1. **Adding a new tool**: Create a new handler in the appropriate category under `src/tools/` and register it in the main server setup
2. **Adding a new resource**: Create a new resource handler in `src/resources/` and register it in the resource manager
3. **Supporting new n8n API features**: Extend the API client in `src/api/` to support new API endpoints or features

# Extending the Server
This guide explains how to extend the n8n MCP Server with new functionality.
## Overview
The n8n MCP Server is designed to be extensible, allowing developers to add new tools and resources without modifying existing code. This extensibility makes it easy to support new n8n features or customize the server for specific use cases.
## Adding a New Tool
Tools in the MCP server represent executable operations that AI assistants can use. To add a new tool, follow these steps:
### 1. Define the Tool Interface
Create a new TypeScript interface that defines the input parameters for your tool:
```typescript
// src/types/tools/my-tool.ts
export interface MyToolParams {
param1: string;
param2?: number; // Optional parameter
}
```
### 2. Create the Tool Handler
Create a new file for your tool in the appropriate category under `src/tools/`:
```typescript
// src/tools/category/my-tool.ts
import { ToolCallResponse, ToolDefinition } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/types.js';
import { N8nClient } from '../../api/n8n-client.js';
import { MyToolParams } from '../../types/tools/my-tool.js';
// Define the tool
export function getMyToolDefinition(): ToolDefinition {
return {
name: 'my_tool',
description: 'Description of what my tool does',
inputSchema: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
param1: {
type: 'string',
description: 'Description of param1'
},
param2: {
type: 'number',
description: 'Description of param2'
}
},
required: ['param1']
}
};
}
// Implement the tool handler
export async function handleMyTool(
client: N8nClient,
params: MyToolParams
): Promise<ToolCallResponse> {
try {
// Implement the tool logic here
// Use the N8nClient to interact with n8n
// Return the response
return {
content: [
{
type: 'text',
text: 'Result of the operation'
}
]
};
} catch (error) {
// Handle errors
return {
content: [
{
type: 'text',
text: `Error: ${error.message}`
}
],
isError: true
};
}
}
```
### 3. Register the Tool in the Handler
Update the main handler file for your tool category (e.g., `src/tools/category/handler.ts`):
```typescript
// src/tools/category/handler.ts
import { getMyToolDefinition, handleMyTool } from './my-tool.js';
// Add your tool to the tools object
export const categoryTools = {
// ... existing tools
my_tool: {
definition: getMyToolDefinition,
handler: handleMyTool
}
};
```
### 4. Add Handler to Main Server
Update the main tool handler registration in `src/index.ts`:
```typescript
// src/index.ts
import { categoryTools } from './tools/category/handler.js';
// In the server initialization
const server = new Server(
{
name: 'n8n-mcp-server',
version: '0.1.0'
},
{
capabilities: {
tools: {
// ... existing categories
category: true
}
}
}
);
// Register tool handlers
Object.entries(categoryTools).forEach(([name, { definition, handler }]) => {
server.setToolHandler(definition(), async (request) => {
return await handler(client, request.params.arguments as any);
});
});
```
### 5. Add Unit Tests
Create unit tests for your new tool:
```typescript
// tests/unit/tools/category/my-tool.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, jest } from '@jest/globals';
import { getMyToolDefinition, handleMyTool } from '../../../../src/tools/category/my-tool.js';
describe('My Tool', () => {
describe('getMyToolDefinition', () => {
it('should return the correct tool definition', () => {
const definition = getMyToolDefinition();
expect(definition.name).toBe('my_tool');
expect(definition.description).toBeTruthy();
expect(definition.inputSchema).toBeDefined();
expect(definition.inputSchema.properties).toHaveProperty('param1');
expect(definition.inputSchema.required).toEqual(['param1']);
});
});
describe('handleMyTool', () => {
it('should handle valid parameters', async () => {
const mockClient = {
// Mock the necessary client methods
};
const result = await handleMyTool(mockClient as any, {
param1: 'test value'
});
expect(result.isError).toBeFalsy();
expect(result.content[0].text).toBeTruthy();
});
it('should handle errors properly', async () => {
const mockClient = {
// Mock client that throws an error
someMethod: jest.fn().mockRejectedValue(new Error('Test error'))
};
const result = await handleMyTool(mockClient as any, {
param1: 'test value'
});
expect(result.isError).toBeTruthy();
expect(result.content[0].text).toContain('Error');
});
});
});
```
## Adding a New Resource
Resources in the MCP server provide data access through URI-based templates. To add a new resource, follow these steps:
### 1. Create a Static Resource (No Parameters)
For a resource that doesn't require parameters:
```typescript
// src/resources/static/my-resource.ts
import { McpError, ReadResourceResponse } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/types.js';
import { ErrorCode } from '../../errors/error-codes.js';
import { N8nClient } from '../../api/n8n-client.js';
export const MY_RESOURCE_URI = 'n8n://my-resource';
export async function handleMyResourceRequest(
client: N8nClient
): Promise<ReadResourceResponse> {
try {
// Implement the resource logic
// Use the N8nClient to interact with n8n
// Return the response
return {
contents: [
{
uri: MY_RESOURCE_URI,
mimeType: 'application/json',
text: JSON.stringify(
{
// Resource data
property1: 'value1',
property2: 'value2'
},
null,
2
)
}
]
};
} catch (error) {
throw new McpError(
ErrorCode.InternalError,
`Failed to retrieve resource: ${error.message}`
);
}
}
```
### 2. Create a Dynamic Resource (With Parameters)
For a resource that requires parameters:
```typescript
// src/resources/dynamic/my-resource.ts
import { McpError, ReadResourceResponse } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/types.js';
import { ErrorCode } from '../../errors/error-codes.js';
import { N8nClient } from '../../api/n8n-client.js';
export const MY_RESOURCE_URI_TEMPLATE = 'n8n://my-resource/{id}';
export function matchMyResourceUri(uri: string): { id: string } | null {
const match = uri.match(/^n8n:\/\/my-resource\/([^/]+)$/);
if (!match) return null;
return {
id: decodeURIComponent(match[1])
};
}
export async function handleMyResourceRequest(
client: N8nClient,
uri: string
): Promise<ReadResourceResponse> {
const params = matchMyResourceUri(uri);
if (!params) {
throw new McpError(
ErrorCode.InvalidRequest,
`Invalid URI format: ${uri}`
);
}
try {
// Implement the resource logic using params.id
// Use the N8nClient to interact with n8n
// Return the response
return {
contents: [
{
uri,
mimeType: 'application/json',
text: JSON.stringify(
{
// Resource data with the specific ID
id: params.id,
property1: 'value1',
property2: 'value2'
},
null,
2
)
}
]
};
} catch (error) {
throw new McpError(
ErrorCode.InternalError,
`Failed to retrieve resource: ${error.message}`
);
}
}
```
### 3. Register Resources in the Handler Files
Update the resource handler registration:
#### For Static Resources
```typescript
// src/resources/static/index.ts
import { MY_RESOURCE_URI, handleMyResourceRequest } from './my-resource.js';
export const staticResources = {
// ... existing static resources
[MY_RESOURCE_URI]: handleMyResourceRequest
};
```
#### For Dynamic Resources
```typescript
// src/resources/dynamic/index.ts
import { MY_RESOURCE_URI_TEMPLATE, matchMyResourceUri, handleMyResourceRequest } from './my-resource.js';
export const dynamicResourceMatchers = [
// ... existing dynamic resource matchers
{
uriTemplate: MY_RESOURCE_URI_TEMPLATE,
match: matchMyResourceUri,
handler: handleMyResourceRequest
}
];
```
### 4. Add Resource Listings
Update the resource listing functions:
```typescript
// src/resources/index.ts
// Update the resource templates listing
export function getResourceTemplates() {
return [
// ... existing templates
{
uriTemplate: MY_RESOURCE_URI_TEMPLATE,
name: 'My Resource',
description: 'Description of my resource'
}
];
}
// Update the static resources listing
export function getStaticResources() {
return [
// ... existing resources
{
uri: MY_RESOURCE_URI,
name: 'My Resource List',
description: 'List of all my resources'
}
];
}
```
### 5. Add Unit Tests
Create tests for your new resource:
```typescript
// tests/unit/resources/static/my-resource.test.ts
// or
// tests/unit/resources/dynamic/my-resource.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, jest } from '@jest/globals';
import {
MY_RESOURCE_URI,
handleMyResourceRequest
} from '../../../../src/resources/static/my-resource.js';
describe('My Resource', () => {
it('should return resource data', async () => {
const mockClient = {
// Mock the necessary client methods
};
const response = await handleMyResourceRequest(mockClient as any);
expect(response.contents).toHaveLength(1);
expect(response.contents[0].uri).toBe(MY_RESOURCE_URI);
expect(response.contents[0].mimeType).toBe('application/json');
const data = JSON.parse(response.contents[0].text);
expect(data).toHaveProperty('property1');
expect(data).toHaveProperty('property2');
});
it('should handle errors properly', async () => {
const mockClient = {
// Mock client that throws an error
someMethod: jest.fn().mockRejectedValue(new Error('Test error'))
};
await expect(handleMyResourceRequest(mockClient as any))
.rejects
.toThrow('Failed to retrieve resource');
});
});
```
## Extending the API Client
If you need to add support for new n8n API features, extend the N8nClient class:
### 1. Add New Methods to the Client
```typescript
// src/api/n8n-client.ts
export class N8nClient {
// ... existing methods
// Add new methods
async myNewApiMethod(param1: string): Promise<any> {
try {
const response = await this.httpClient.get(`/endpoint/${param1}`);
return response.data;
} catch (error) {
this.handleApiError(error);
}
}
}
```
### 2. Add Type Definitions
```typescript
// src/types/api.ts
// Add types for API responses and requests
export interface MyApiResponse {
id: string;
name: string;
// Other properties
}
export interface MyApiRequest {
param1: string;
param2?: number;
}
```
### 3. Add Tests for the New API Methods
```typescript
// tests/unit/api/n8n-client.test.ts
describe('N8nClient', () => {
// ... existing tests
describe('myNewApiMethod', () => {
it('should call the correct API endpoint', async () => {
// Set up mock Axios
axiosMock.onGet('/endpoint/test').reply(200, {
id: '123',
name: 'Test'
});
const client = new N8nClient({
apiUrl: 'http://localhost:5678/api/v1',
apiKey: 'test-api-key'
});
const result = await client.myNewApiMethod('test');
expect(result).toEqual({
id: '123',
name: 'Test'
});
});
it('should handle errors correctly', async () => {
// Set up mock Axios
axiosMock.onGet('/endpoint/test').reply(404, {
message: 'Not found'
});
const client = new N8nClient({
apiUrl: 'http://localhost:5678/api/v1',
apiKey: 'test-api-key'
});
await expect(client.myNewApiMethod('test'))
.rejects
.toThrow('Resource not found');
});
});
});
```
## Best Practices for Extensions
1. **Follow the Existing Patterns**: Try to follow the patterns already established in the codebase.
2. **Type Safety**: Use TypeScript types and interfaces to ensure type safety.
3. **Error Handling**: Implement comprehensive error handling in all extensions.
4. **Testing**: Write thorough tests for all new functionality.
5. **Documentation**: Document your extensions, including JSDoc comments for all public methods.
6. **Backward Compatibility**: Ensure that your extensions don't break existing functionality.
## Example: Adding Support for n8n Tags
Here's a complete example of adding support for n8n tags:
### API Client Extension
```typescript
// src/api/n8n-client.ts
export class N8nClient {
// ... existing methods
// Add tag methods
async getTags(): Promise<Tag[]> {
try {
const response = await this.httpClient.get('/tags');
return response.data;
} catch (error) {
this.handleApiError(error);
}
}
async createTag(data: CreateTagRequest): Promise<Tag> {
try {
const response = await this.httpClient.post('/tags', data);
return response.data;
} catch (error) {
this.handleApiError(error);
}
}
async deleteTag(id: string): Promise<void> {
try {
await this.httpClient.delete(`/tags/${id}`);
} catch (error) {
this.handleApiError(error);
}
}
}
```
### Type Definitions
```typescript
// src/types/api.ts
export interface Tag {
id: string;
name: string;
createdAt: string;
updatedAt: string;
}
export interface CreateTagRequest {
name: string;
}
```
### Tool Implementations
```typescript
// src/tools/tag/list.ts
export function getTagListToolDefinition(): ToolDefinition {
return {
name: 'tag_list',
description: 'List all tags in n8n',
inputSchema: {
type: 'object',
properties: {},
required: []
}
};
}
export async function handleTagList(
client: N8nClient,
params: any
): Promise<ToolCallResponse> {
try {
const tags = await client.getTags();
return {
content: [
{
type: 'text',
text: JSON.stringify(tags, null, 2)
}
]
};
} catch (error) {
return {
content: [
{
type: 'text',
text: `Error listing tags: ${error.message}`
}
],
isError: true
};
}
}
```
### Resource Implementation
```typescript
// src/resources/static/tags.ts
export const TAGS_URI = 'n8n://tags';
export async function handleTagsRequest(
client: N8nClient
): Promise<ReadResourceResponse> {
try {
const tags = await client.getTags();
return {
contents: [
{
uri: TAGS_URI,
mimeType: 'application/json',
text: JSON.stringify(
{
tags,
count: tags.length
},
null,
2
)
}
]
};
} catch (error) {
throw new McpError(
ErrorCode.InternalError,
`Failed to retrieve tags: ${error.message}`
);
}
}
```
### Integration
Register the new tools and resources in the appropriate handler files, and update the main server initialization to include them.
By following these patterns, you can extend the n8n MCP Server to support any n8n feature or add custom functionality tailored to your specific needs.

# Development Guide
This section provides information for developers who want to understand, maintain, or extend the n8n MCP Server.
## Overview
The n8n MCP Server is built with TypeScript and implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide AI assistants with access to n8n workflows and executions. This development guide covers the architecture, extension points, and testing procedures.
## Topics
- [Architecture](./architecture.md): Overview of the codebase organization and design patterns
- [Extending the Server](./extending.md): Guide to adding new tools and resources
- [Testing](./testing.md): Information on testing procedures and writing tests
## Development Setup
To set up a development environment:
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/n8n-mcp-server.git
cd n8n-mcp-server
```
2. Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
3. Create a `.env` file for local development:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
# Edit the .env file with your n8n API credentials
```
4. Start the development server:
```bash
npm run dev
```
This will compile the TypeScript code in watch mode, allowing you to make changes and see them take effect immediately.
## Project Structure
The project follows a modular structure:
```
n8n-mcp-server/
├── src/ # Source code
│ ├── api/ # API client for n8n
│ ├── config/ # Configuration and environment settings
│ ├── errors/ # Error handling
│ ├── resources/ # MCP resources implementation
│ │ ├── static/ # Static resources
│ │ └── dynamic/ # Dynamic (parameterized) resources

```
## Build and Distribution
To build the project for distribution:
```bash
npm run build
```
This will compile the TypeScript code to JavaScript in the `build` directory and make the executable script file.

# Testing
This document describes the testing approach for the n8n MCP Server and provides guidelines for writing effective tests.
## Overview
The n8n MCP Server uses Jest as its testing framework and follows a multi-level testing approach:
1. **Unit Tests**: Test individual components in isolation
2. **Integration Tests**: Test interactions between components
3. **End-to-End Tests**: Test the entire system as a whole
Tests are organized in the `tests/` directory, with a structure that mirrors the `src/` directory.
## Running Tests
### Running All Tests
To run all tests:
```bash
npm test
```
This command runs all tests and outputs a summary of the results.
### Running Tests with Coverage
To run tests with coverage reporting:
```bash
npm run test:coverage
```
This generates coverage reports in the `coverage/` directory, including HTML reports that you can view in a browser.
### Running Tests in Watch Mode
During development, you can run tests in watch mode, which will automatically rerun tests when files change:
```bash
npm run test:watch
```
### Running Specific Tests
To run tests in a specific file or directory:
```bash
npx jest path/to/test-file.test.ts
```
Or to run tests matching a specific pattern:
```bash
npx jest -t "test pattern"
```
## Test Structure
Tests are organized into the following directories:
- `tests/unit/`: Unit tests for individual components
- `tests/integration/`: Integration tests that test interactions between components
- `tests/e2e/`: End-to-end tests that test the entire system
- `tests/mocks/`: Shared test fixtures and mocks
### Unit Tests
Unit tests are organized in a structure that mirrors the `src/` directory. For example:
- `src/api/n8n-client.ts` has a corresponding test at `tests/unit/api/n8n-client.test.ts`
- `src/tools/workflow/list.ts` has a corresponding test at `tests/unit/tools/workflow/list.test.ts`
### Integration Tests
Integration tests focus on testing interactions between components, such as:
- Testing that tools correctly use the API client
- Testing that resources correctly format data from the API
### End-to-End Tests
End-to-end tests test the entire system, from the transport layer to the API client and back.
## Writing Effective Tests
### Unit Test Example
Here's an example of a unit test for a workflow tool:
```typescript
// tests/unit/tools/workflow/list.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, jest } from '@jest/globals';
import { getListWorkflowsToolDefinition, handleListWorkflows } from '../../../../src/tools/workflow/list.js';
import { N8nClient } from '../../../../src/api/n8n-client.js';
// Mock data
const mockWorkflows = [
{
id: '1234abc',
name: 'Test Workflow 1',
active: true,
createdAt: '2025-03-01T12:00:00.000Z',
updatedAt: '2025-03-02T14:30:00.000Z'
},
{
id: '5678def',
name: 'Test Workflow 2',
active: false,
createdAt: '2025-03-01T12:00:00.000Z',
updatedAt: '2025-03-12T10:15:00.000Z'
}
];
describe('Workflow List Tool', () => {
describe('getListWorkflowsToolDefinition', () => {
it('should return the correct tool definition', () => {
const definition = getListWorkflowsToolDefinition();
expect(definition.name).toBe('workflow_list');
expect(definition.description).toBeTruthy();
expect(definition.inputSchema).toBeDefined();
expect(definition.inputSchema.properties).toHaveProperty('active');
expect(definition.inputSchema.required).toEqual([]);
});
});
describe('handleListWorkflows', () => {
it('should return all workflows when no filter is provided', async () => {
// Mock the API client
const mockClient = {
getWorkflows: jest.fn().mockResolvedValue(mockWorkflows)
};
const result = await handleListWorkflows(mockClient as unknown as N8nClient, {});
expect(mockClient.getWorkflows).toHaveBeenCalledWith(undefined);
expect(result.isError).toBeFalsy();
// Parse the JSON text to check the content
const content = JSON.parse(result.content[0].text);
expect(content).toHaveLength(2);
expect(content[0].id).toBe('1234abc');
expect(content[1].id).toBe('5678def');
});
it('should filter workflows by active status', async () => {
// Mock the API client
const mockClient = {
getWorkflows: jest.fn().mockResolvedValue(mockWorkflows)
};
const result = await handleListWorkflows(mockClient as unknown as N8nClient, { active: true });
expect(mockClient.getWorkflows).toHaveBeenCalledWith(true);
expect(result.isError).toBeFalsy();
// Parse the JSON text to check the content
const content = JSON.parse(result.content[0].text);
expect(content).toHaveLength(2);
});
it('should handle API errors', async () => {
// Mock the API client to throw an error
const mockClient = {
getWorkflows: jest.fn().mockRejectedValue(new Error('API error'))
};
const result = await handleListWorkflows(mockClient as unknown as N8nClient, {});
expect(result.isError).toBeTruthy();
expect(result.content[0].text).toContain('API error');
});
});
});
```
### Integration Test Example
Here's an example of an integration test that tests the interaction between a resource handler and the API client:
```typescript
// tests/integration/resources/static/workflows.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, jest } from '@jest/globals';
import { handleWorkflowsRequest, WORKFLOWS_URI } from '../../../../src/resources/static/workflows.js';
import { N8nClient } from '../../../../src/api/n8n-client.js';
// Mock data
const mockWorkflows = [
{
id: '1234abc',
name: 'Test Workflow 1',
active: true,
createdAt: '2025-03-01T12:00:00.000Z',
updatedAt: '2025-03-02T14:30:00.000Z'
},
{
id: '5678def',
name: 'Test Workflow 2',
active: false,
createdAt: '2025-03-01T12:00:00.000Z',
updatedAt: '2025-03-12T10:15:00.000Z'
}
];
describe('Workflows Resource Handler', () => {
it('should return a properly formatted response', async () => {
// Mock the API client
const mockClient = {
getWorkflows: jest.fn().mockResolvedValue(mockWorkflows)
};
const response = await handleWorkflowsRequest(mockClient as unknown as N8nClient);
expect(mockClient.getWorkflows).toHaveBeenCalled();
expect(response.contents).toHaveLength(1);
expect(response.contents[0].uri).toBe(WORKFLOWS_URI);
expect(response.contents[0].mimeType).toBe('application/json');
// Parse the JSON text to check the content
const content = JSON.parse(response.contents[0].text);
expect(content).toHaveProperty('workflows');
expect(content.workflows).toHaveLength(2);
expect(content.count).toBe(2);
expect(content.workflows[0].id).toBe('1234abc');
});
it('should handle API errors', async () => {
// Mock the API client to throw an error
const mockClient = {
getWorkflows: jest.fn().mockRejectedValue(new Error('API error'))
};
await expect(handleWorkflowsRequest(mockClient as unknown as N8nClient))
.rejects
.toThrow('Failed to retrieve workflows');
});
});
```
### End-to-End Test Example
Here's an example of an end-to-end test that tests the entire system:
```typescript
// tests/e2e/workflow-operations.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, beforeAll, afterAll } from '@jest/globals';
import { Server } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/index.js';
import { MemoryServerTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/memory.js';
import { createServer } from '../../src/index.js';
describe('End-to-End Workflow Operations', () => {
let server: Server;
let transport: MemoryServerTransport;
beforeAll(async () => {
// Mock the environment
process.env.N8N_API_URL = 'http://localhost:5678/api/v1';
process.env.N8N_API_KEY = 'test-api-key';
// Create the server with a memory transport
transport = new MemoryServerTransport();
server = await createServer(transport);
});
afterAll(async () => {
await server.close();
});
it('should list workflows', async () => {
// Send a request to list workflows
const response = await transport.sendRequest({
jsonrpc: '2.0',
id: '1',
method: 'callTool',
params: {
name: 'workflow_list',
arguments: {}
}
});
expect(response.result).toBeDefined();
expect(response.result.content).toHaveLength(1);
expect(response.result.content[0].type).toBe('text');
// Parse the JSON text to check the content
const content = JSON.parse(response.result.content[0].text);
expect(Array.isArray(content)).toBe(true);
});
it('should retrieve a workflow by ID', async () => {
// Send a request to get a workflow
const response = await transport.sendRequest({
jsonrpc: '2.0',
id: '2',
method: 'callTool',
params: {
name: 'workflow_get',
arguments: {
id: '1234abc'
}
}
});
expect(response.result).toBeDefined();
expect(response.result.content).toHaveLength(1);
expect(response.result.content[0].type).toBe('text');
// Parse the JSON text to check the content
const content = JSON.parse(response.result.content[0].text);
expect(content).toHaveProperty('id');
expect(content.id).toBe('1234abc');
});
});
```
## Test Fixtures and Mocks
To avoid duplication and improve test maintainability, common test fixtures and mocks are stored in the `tests/mocks/` directory.
### Axios Mock
The Axios HTTP client is mocked using `axios-mock-adapter` to simulate HTTP responses without making actual API calls:
```typescript
// tests/mocks/axios-mock.ts
import axios from 'axios';
import MockAdapter from 'axios-mock-adapter';
// Create a new instance of the mock adapter
export const axiosMock = new MockAdapter(axios);
// Helper function to reset the mock adapter before each test
export function resetAxiosMock() {
axiosMock.reset();
}
```
### n8n API Fixtures
Common fixtures for n8n API responses are stored in a shared file:
```typescript
// tests/mocks/n8n-fixtures.ts
export const mockWorkflows = [
{
id: '1234abc',
name: 'Test Workflow 1',
active: true,
createdAt: '2025-03-01T12:00:00.000Z',
updatedAt: '2025-03-02T14:30:00.000Z',
nodes: [
{
id: 'node1',
name: 'Start',
type: 'n8n-nodes-base.start',
position: [100, 200],
parameters: {}
}
],
connections: {}
},
{
id: '5678def',
name: 'Test Workflow 2',
active: false,
createdAt: '2025-03-01T12:00:00.000Z',
updatedAt: '2025-03-12T10:15:00.000Z',
nodes: [],
connections: {}
}
];
export const mockExecutions = [
{
id: 'exec123',
workflowId: '1234abc',
workflowName: 'Test Workflow 1',
status: 'success',
startedAt: '2025-03-10T15:00:00.000Z',
finishedAt: '2025-03-10T15:01:00.000Z',
mode: 'manual'
},
{
id: 'exec456',
workflowId: '1234abc',
workflowName: 'Test Workflow 1',
status: 'error',
startedAt: '2025-03-09T12:00:00.000Z',
finishedAt: '2025-03-09T12:00:10.000Z',
mode: 'manual'
}
];
```
## Test Environment
The test environment is configured in `jest.config.js` and `babel.config.js`. Key configurations include:
- TypeScript support via Babel
- ES module support
- Coverage reporting
The `tests/test-setup.ts` file contains global setup code that runs before tests:
```typescript
// tests/test-setup.ts
import { jest } from '@jest/globals';
import { resetAxiosMock } from './mocks/axios-mock';
// Reset mocks before each test
beforeEach(() => {
jest.clearAllMocks();
resetAxiosMock();
});
```
## Best Practices
### General Testing Guidelines
1. **Write tests first**: Follow a test-driven development (TDD) approach when possible.
2. **Test behavior, not implementation**: Focus on what a component does, not how it's implemented.
3. **Keep tests simple**: Each test should test one behavior or aspect of functionality.
4. **Use descriptive test names**: Test names should describe the expected behavior.
5. **Follow the AAA pattern**: Arrange, Act, Assert (setup, execute, verify).
### Mocking Best Practices
1. **Mock dependencies, not the unit under test**: Only mock external dependencies, not the code you're testing.
2. **Use the minimum viable mock**: Only mock the methods and behavior needed for the test.
3. **Ensure mock behavior is realistic**: Mocks should behave similarly to the real implementation.
4. **Verify interactions with mocks**: Use `expect(mock).toHaveBeenCalled()` to verify interactions.
### Error Testing Best Practices
1. **Test error cases**: Don't just test the happy path; test error handling too.
2. **Simulate errors with mocks**: Use mocks to simulate error scenarios.
3. **Verify error messages**: Ensure error messages are helpful and descriptive.
### Performance Testing Considerations
1. **Monitor test performance**: Slow tests can slow down development.
2. **Use test timeout values wisely**: Set appropriate timeout values for async tests.
3. **Minimize redundant setup**: Use `beforeEach` and `beforeAll` to avoid redundant setup.
## Continuous Integration
Tests are run automatically in CI environments on pull requests and commits to the main branch. The CI configuration ensures tests pass before code can be merged.
### CI Test Requirements
- All tests must pass
- Test coverage must not decrease
- Linting checks must pass
## Debugging Tests
### Console Output
You can use `console.log()` statements in your tests to debug issues:
```typescript
it('should do something', () => {
const result = doSomething();
console.log('Result:', result);
expect(result).toBe(expectedValue);
});
```
When running tests with Jest, console output will be displayed for failing tests by default.
### Using the Debugger
You can also use the Node.js debugger with Jest:
```bash
node --inspect-brk node_modules/.bin/jest --runInBand path/to/test
```
Then connect to the debugger with Chrome DevTools or VS Code.
## Conclusion
Thorough testing is essential for maintaining a reliable and robust n8n MCP Server. By following these guidelines and examples, you can write effective tests that help ensure your code works as expected and catches issues early.

```
## Error Handling and Notification System
### User Prompt
"Set up a notification system for any workflow that fails."
### Assistant Actions
```javascript
// This scenario demonstrates creating a monitoring workflow that checks for failures
// and sends notifications
// First, check if a monitoring workflow already exists

# Workflow Error Notification System Created
I've created a new workflow that will monitor for failed executions and send email notifications.
**Workflow ID:** ${monitorWorkflow.id}
## Configuration Needed:
1. The workflow is currently **inactive** - you'll need to activate it once configured
2. Set up the email configuration in n8n settings
3. Configure the "Send Email" node with your recipient email address
## How It Works:
- Runs every 15 minutes
- Checks for any workflows that failed in the last 15 minutes
- Groups failures by workflow and formats a notification
- Sends an email with details about the failures
You can customize the notification format, schedule, and notification method by editing the workflow in the n8n interface.

## Important Notes:
1. The workflow is currently **inactive** - activate it only when you're ready to perform the migration
2. The data transformation is a placeholder - you'll need to edit the "Transform Data" function node to map fields correctly based on your specific data structures
3. This is a one-time migration workflow - run it manually when you're ready to migrate the data
## Next Steps:
1. Open the workflow in the n8n interface
2. Edit the "Transform Data" function to correctly map your data fields
3. Test the workflow with a small sample if possible
4. Activate and run the workflow to perform the migration
5. Check the migration summary for results
Would you like me to help you customize the data transformation based on the specific fields in your CRM workflows?

const result = await useMcpTool('n8n-mcp-server', 'workflow_list', {});
// The assistant formats and presents the results
if (result.length === 0) {
return "You don't have any workflows in your n8n instance yet.";
} else {
let response = "Here are your workflows:\n\n";
result.forEach(workflow => {
response += `- ${workflow.name} (ID: ${workflow.id}) - ${workflow.active ? 'Active' : 'Inactive'}\n`;
});
return response;
}
```
## Getting Workflow Details
### User Prompt
"Tell me about my 'Email Processing' workflow."
### Assistant Actions
```javascript
// First list all workflows to find the one with matching name
const workflows = await useMcpTool('n8n-mcp-server', 'workflow_list', {});
// Find the workflow with a name containing "Email Processing"
const emailWorkflow = workflows.find(workflow =>
workflow.name.toLowerCase().includes('email processing')

`;
```
## Checking Execution Status
### User Prompt
"Check the status of my last workflow execution."
### Assistant Actions
```javascript
// Get recent executions (this example assumes we've stored the last execution ID in context)
// In a real scenario, you might need to list recent executions first
const lastExecutionId = "exec123"; // In practice, this would come from context or a previous response
// Get execution details
const execution = await useMcpTool('n8n-mcp-server', 'execution_get', {
executionId: lastExecutionId
});
// Format and present the execution status
let response = `
# Execution Status for ${execution.workflowName}
**Status:** ${execution.status}
**Started:** ${new Date(execution.startedAt).toLocaleString()}
`;
if (execution.finishedAt) {
response += `**Finished:** ${new Date(execution.finishedAt).toLocaleString()}\n`;
response += `**Duration:** ${Math.round((new Date(execution.finishedAt) - new Date(execution.startedAt)) / 1000)} seconds\n`;
}
response += "\n## Execution Path\n";
execution.data.executionData.nodeExecutionOrder.forEach(nodeName => {

if (!reportWorkflow) {
return "I couldn't find a workflow named 'Daily Report'. Would you like to see a list of all your workflows?";
}
// Check if the workflow is already inactive
if (!reportWorkflow.active) {
return "The 'Daily Report' workflow is already inactive.";
}
// Deactivate the workflow
const result = await useMcpTool('n8n-mcp-server', 'workflow_deactivate', {
id: reportWorkflow.id
});
return `
I've deactivated the 'Daily Report' workflow.
It was last updated on ${new Date(result.updatedAt).toLocaleString()}.
You can reactivate it at any time by asking me to activate it.
`;
```
## Creating a Simple Workflow

# Configuration Guide
This guide provides detailed information on configuring the n8n MCP Server.
## Environment Variables
The n8n MCP Server is configured using environment variables, which can be set in a `.env` file or directly in your environment.
### Required Variables
| Variable | Description | Example |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `N8N_API_URL` | URL of the n8n API | `http://localhost:5678/api/v1` |
| `N8N_API_KEY` | API key for authenticating with n8n | `n8n_api_...` |
### Optional Variables
| Variable | Description | Default | Example |
|----------|-------------|---------|---------|
| `DEBUG` | Enable debug logging | `false` | `true` or `false` |
## Creating a .env File
The simplest way to configure the server is to create a `.env` file in the directory where you'll run the server:
```bash
# Copy the example .env file
cp .env.example .env
# Edit the .env file with your settings
nano .env # or use any text editor
```
Example `.env` file:
```env
# n8n MCP Server Environment Variables
# Required: URL of the n8n API
N8N_API_URL=http://localhost:5678/api/v1
# Required: API key for authenticating with n8n
N8N_API_KEY=your_n8n_api_key_here
# Optional: Set to 'true' to enable debug logging
DEBUG=false
```
## Generating an n8n API Key
To use the n8n MCP Server, you need an API key from your n8n instance:
1. Open your n8n instance in a browser
2. Go to **Settings** > **API** > **API Keys**
3. Click **Create** to create a new API key
4. Set appropriate **Scope** (recommended: `workflow:read workflow:write workflow:execute`)
5. Copy the key to your `.env` file
![Creating an n8n API Key](../images/n8n-api-key.png)
## Server Connection Options
By default, the n8n MCP Server listens on `stdin` and `stdout` for Model Context Protocol communications. This is the format expected by AI assistants using the MCP protocol.
## Configuring AI Assistants
To use the n8n MCP Server with AI assistants, you need to register it with your AI assistant platform. The exact method depends on the platform you're using.
### Using the MCP Installer
If you're using Claude or another assistant that supports the MCP Installer, you can register the server with:
```bash
# Install the MCP Installer
npx @anaisbetts/mcp-installer
# Register the server (if installed globally)
install_repo_mcp_server n8n-mcp-server
# Or register from a local installation
install_local_mcp_server path/to/n8n-mcp-server
```
### Manual Configuration
For platforms without an installer, you'll need to configure the connection according to the platform's documentation. Typically, this involves:
1. Specifying the path to the executable
2. Setting environment variables for the server
3. Configuring response formatting
## Verifying Configuration
To verify your configuration:
1. Start the server
2. Open your AI assistant
3. Try a simple command like "List all workflows in n8n"
If configured correctly, the assistant should be able to retrieve and display your workflows.
## Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your configuration, check:
- The `.env` file is in the correct location
- The n8n API URL is accessible from where the server is running
- The API key has the correct permissions
- Any firewalls or network restrictions that might block connections
For more specific issues, see the [Troubleshooting](./troubleshooting.md) guide.

- Create a new key with appropriate permissions if needed
2. **n8n Version:**
- Check if your n8n version supports all the API endpoints being used
- Update n8n to the latest version if possible
3. **Workflow Complexity:**
- Complex workflows with custom nodes may not work correctly
- Try with simpler workflows to isolate the issue
### Execution Operations Fail
**Symptoms:**
- Cannot execute workflows or retrieve execution data
- Execution starts but fails to complete
**Possible Solutions:**
1. **API Key Scope:**
- Ensure your API key has the `workflow:execute` permission
- Create a new key with appropriate permissions if needed
2. **Workflow Status:**
- Check if the target workflow is active
- Verify the workflow executes correctly in the n8n interface
3. **Workflow Inputs:**
- Ensure all required inputs for workflow execution are provided
- Check the format of input data
## Getting More Help
If you're still experiencing issues after trying these troubleshooting steps:
1. **Check GitHub Issues:**
- Look for similar issues in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/yourusername/n8n-mcp-server/issues)
- Create a new issue with detailed information about your problem
2. **Submit Logs:**
- Enable debug logging with `DEBUG=true`
- Include relevant logs when seeking help
3. **Community Support:**
- Ask in the n8n community forums
- Check MCP-related discussion groups

## Running Tests
The project uses Jest as the test runner with ESM support. The following npm scripts are available:
```bash
# Run all tests
npm test
# Run tests in watch mode (useful during development)
npm run test:watch
# Run tests with coverage report
npm run test:coverage
# Run specific test file(s)
npm test -- tests/unit/api/client.test.ts
# Run tests matching a specific pattern
npm test -- -t "should format and return workflows"
```
## Writing Tests
### Test File Naming Convention
- All test files should end with `.test.ts`
- Test files should be placed in the same directory structure as the source files they test
### Test Organization
Each test file should follow this structure:
```typescript
/**
* Description of what's being tested
*/
import '@jest/globals';
import { ComponentToTest } from '../../../src/path/to/component.js';
// Import other dependencies and mocks
// Mock dependencies
jest.mock('../../../src/path/to/dependency.js');
describe('ComponentName', () => {
// Setup and teardown
beforeEach(() => {
// Common setup
});
afterEach(() => {
// Common cleanup
});
describe('methodName', () => {
it('should do something specific', () => {
// Arrange
// ...
// Act
// ...
// Assert
expect(result).toBe(expectedValue);
});
// More test cases...
});
// More method tests...
});
```
### Testing Utilities
The project provides several testing utilities:
- **test-setup.ts**: Common setup for all tests
- **mocks/axios-mock.ts**: Utilities for mocking Axios HTTP requests
- **mocks/n8n-fixtures.ts**: Mock data for n8n API responses
## Best Practices
1. **Isolation**: Each test should be independent and not rely on other tests
2. **Mock Dependencies**: External dependencies should be mocked
3. **Descriptive Names**: Use descriptive test and describe names
4. **Arrange-Act-Assert**: Structure your tests with clear sections
5. **Coverage**: Aim for high test coverage, especially for critical paths
6. **Readability**: Write clear, readable tests that serve as documentation
## Extending the Test Suite
When adding new functionality to the project:
1. Create corresponding test files in the appropriate directory
2. Use existing mocks and utilities when possible
3. Create new mock data in `mocks/` for reusability
4. Update this README if you add new testing patterns or utilities
## Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues running the tests:
- Ensure you're using Node.js 18 or later
- Run `npm install` to ensure all dependencies are installed
- Check for ESM compatibility issues if importing CommonJS modules
- Use `console.log` or `console.error` for debugging (removed in production)
