## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-08-04.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 83/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - CVE check failed: a known medium-severity CVE affects hono 4.12.33, reached via @modelcontextprotocol/sdk > hono. A fixed version is available.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 19/100
  - Repository check failed: the declared repository URL redirects; it must resolve directly.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 56 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 79/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1086 tokens (~120/item across 9 items; 9 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (9)

### `n8n_scaffold_node` (~97 tokens)

Scaffold a TypeScript skeleton for an n8n custom node from a plain-English description. Returns a single TypeScript file implementing INodeType with description, credentials reference, and an execute method stub.

Input parameters:

- `description` (string, required): Plain-English description of what the node should do.
- `nodeName` (string): Optional PascalCase node class name, e.g. 'DiscordRateLimited'. Derived from the description if omitted.

### `n8n_generate_workflow` (~149 tokens)

Generate a valid n8n workflow JSON from a plain-English description. Handles webhook/schedule/RSS triggers, common action nodes (Slack, Google Sheets, Discord, Gmail, Notion, HTTP), and AI Agent setups (LangChain root agent + chat model + memory + optional HTTP tool, wired with ai_languageModel / ai_memory / ai_tool connections). Returns workflow JSON with unique node IDs, connections, positions, and typeVersion on every node.

Input parameters:

- `description` (string, required): Plain-English workflow description, e.g. 'Stripe webhook -> Slack message + Google Sheets row'.
- `name` (string): Optional workflow name. Derived from the first sentence of the description if omitted.

### `n8n_lint_workflow` (~109 tokens)

Lint an n8n workflow JSON. Returns concrete errors and warnings: missing credentials, deprecated node types (Function -> Code, spreadsheetFile -> convertToFile/extractFromFile), broken connections, missing or non-numeric typeVersion, duplicate node names or IDs, AI Agent missing ai_languageModel sub-node, Webhook missing webhookId, IF node still on v1 condition schema.

Input parameters:

- `workflow` (required): n8n workflow as either a parsed object or a JSON string.

### `n8n_explain_execution` (~164 tokens)

Diagnose a failed or surprising n8n execution. Paste the execution JSON (from the n8n UI 'Show details' or `GET /executions/:id?includeData=true`); returns a per-node summary highlighting nodes that returned 0 items, unresolved `={{ ... }}` expressions, errors with hints, and LLM token usage. Hits the most common debugging pain point: items 'silently disappearing' between nodes.

Input parameters:

- `execution` (required): n8n execution object as either a parsed object or a JSON string. Accepts both the REST API shape (`{ data: { resultData: { runData, error, lastNodeExecuted } }, finished, status, ... }`) and the raw…

### `n8n_list_workflows` (~148 tokens)

List workflows from a live n8n instance (requires N8N_API_URL + N8N_API_KEY env vars). Returns id, name, active, nodeCount, updatedAt, tags. Filter by active, tags, name. Use this when the user asks 'what workflows do I have?' or before n8n_get_workflow.

Input parameters:

- `active` (boolean): Filter by active status. Omit to return both.
- `limit` (number): Page size (n8n default: 100, max: 250).
- `name` (string): Filter by exact workflow name.
- `tags` (string): Comma-separated tag names to filter by.

### `n8n_get_workflow` (~72 tokens)

Fetch a single workflow JSON by id from a live n8n instance (requires N8N_API_URL + N8N_API_KEY). Returns the full nodes/connections payload — pair with n8n_lint_workflow to audit a deployed workflow.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Workflow ID.

### `n8n_create_workflow` (~115 tokens)

Create a workflow on a live n8n instance (requires N8N_API_URL + N8N_API_KEY). Strips read-only fields (id, active, createdAt, ...) before posting. Workflows are created inactive — call n8n_activate_workflow afterward. Pairs with n8n_generate_workflow for end-to-end 'describe -> deploy'.

Input parameters:

- `workflow` (required): Workflow JSON to create (typically the output of n8n_generate_workflow). Either a parsed object or a JSON string.

### `n8n_activate_workflow` (~73 tokens)

Activate or deactivate a workflow on a live n8n instance (requires N8N_API_URL + N8N_API_KEY). Pass `active: false` to deactivate.

Input parameters:

- `active` (boolean): Defaults to true (activate). Set false to deactivate.
- `id` (string, required): Workflow ID.

### `n8n_list_executions` (~159 tokens)

List recent executions from a live n8n instance (requires N8N_API_URL + N8N_API_KEY). Filter by workflowId, status (success|error|waiting), limit. Pass `includeData: true` to get the full execution body (large) — pair with n8n_explain_execution to diagnose a specific failure.

Input parameters:

- `includeData` (boolean): Include full execution data (large). Default false — pair with n8n_explain_execution.
- `limit` (number): Page size (n8n default: 100, max: 250).
- `status` (string): Filter by status: success | error | waiting.
- `workflowId` (string): Filter by workflow ID.
