Check that the candidate is executable before selecting it.
If PATH contains only a directory or a non-executable n8nac file, existsSync makes isN8nacOnShellPath() return true. inferFastCliCommand() then emits n8nac, but a POSIX shell cannot execute that entry. Require a regular executable file before returning true.

Keep JSON error output available when configuration parsing fails.
If resolveEnvironment() fails because n8nac-config.json is malformed or invalid, Line 812 calls listEnvironments() and throws the same error again. The command then emits no JSON payload. Guard this secondary read and return environments: [] when the configuration cannot be listed.

Preserve falsy option values in compact output.
o.value || o.name replaces valid values such as false or 0 with o.name. If o.name is absent, the generated valid: note omits the value. Use nullish fallback instead.
Proposed fix
- note = ` // valid: ${prop.options.map((o: any) => o.value || o.name).join(' | ')}`;
+ note = ` // valid: ${prop.options.map((o: any) => o.value ?? o.name).join(' | ')}`;📝 Committable suggestion

npm npx documentation package specifier latest version local package resolution
💡 Result:
When using npx (which executes via npm exec), package resolution behavior depends on whether a version specifier is provided. Local vs. Remote Resolution 1. Unspecified Versions: If you provide a package name without a version specifier (e.g., npx cowsay), npx first attempts to match it with a version already installed in the local project's node_modules [1][2]. If found, it uses that local version [1][2]. 2. Specified Versions: If you provide a version or tag specifier (e.g., npx cowsay@latest), npx treats this as a requirement for that specific name and version. It will only consider a local package a match if it has the exact same name and version [1][2]. If no match is found, npx will fetch and install the requested version to a temporary location in the npm cache [1][2][3]. Resolution Logic - Automatic Installation: If a package is not found locally (or the local version does not match the requested specifier), npx will download the package to the npm cache [3][4]. - Version Selection: When resolving to "latest" or a range, npm prioritizes versions that satisfy the current Node.js runtime's engine constraints [5]. If a package has no engine constraints, it is considered compatible with any Node version [5]. - Forcing Remote/Fresh Install: You can use the --ignore-existing flag to bypass local resolution, forcing npx to skip checking $PATH or node_modules and instead fetch/install the package [6][7]. Additionally, using the --package option always forces a freshly installed, temporary version of the specified package, preventing npm from inferring it from the positional arguments [1][2]. Package Specifiers npx supports all standard npm package specifiers, including registry names, git URLs, remote tarballs, and local directory paths [8][6]. When using local directories or files, you should ensure they are appropriately prefixed (e.g.,./path/to/pkg) to distinguish them from registry packages [8].

Make the published CLI default immutable.
When no override or dist-tag is provided, resolveN8nacCommandRefs() returns npx --yes n8nac, and update-ai defaults --cli-version to latest. This allows a moving registry package to execute before AGENTS.md is read. Use an approved exact version or resolved local binary as the default, then regenerate the shared, Claude, Cursor, and OpenClaw copies.

…mand resolution
Three sources of avoidable latency for autonomous agents driving n8nac:
- `skills node-info` / `node-schema` accepted a single node, so an agent
researching a workflow paid one process start per node. Both now take
several names, and `--compact` emits only the authoring-critical facts
(exact type, latest typeVersion, resource/operation discriminators,
required params, resourceLocator shape). Measured on the four nodes of a
typical brief: 13.9s / 9059 bytes over four `npx` calls, against 1.4s /
2636 bytes for one batched compact call.
- Generated agent docs always emitted `npx --yes n8nac@<tag>`, ~2s per
invocation against ~1s for an installed binary. `update-ai` now emits a
bare `n8nac` when a plain shell would resolve it. PATH entries whose last
segment is `.bin` are ignored: those come from our own npx/npm-script
invocation and would not exist in the agent's shell afterwards.
- A workspace `.env` carrying N8N_HOST (plus optional N8N_API_KEY and native
MCP settings) now bootstraps the `default` environment on first resolve,
and the architect skill says so — `env status --json` resolves with no
`env add`, `env auth set`, `env use` or `native-mcp configure`. Only the
file is read; ambient process env must not silently become workspace
config.
Also: `n8n-as-code` as a second bin alias, `env status --json` reports an
unconfigured workspace instead of throwing, resourceLocator renders its real
`{ __rl, value, mode }` shape in both the type map and the default value, and
the post-push protocol no longer tells agents to run `verify <id>` after a
`push --verify` that already did exactly that.
node-info/node-schema and the two snippet formatters were near-duplicates;
they now share one emitter and two helpers, which also fixes a literal
"undefined" printed on stdout when `--json` matched nothing.
`'You are a triage agent. ' + 'Sort the inbox by urgency.'` threw
"Cannot statically evaluate BinaryExpression" — a BinaryExpression fell
through to the default branch of the parameter evaluator. Splitting a long
system prompt across lines with `+` is the natural way to write one, and both
operands are constants, so fold them instead of making the author reach for a
template literal.
Cost a full write -> validate -> read error -> edit -> revalidate round-trip
for an agent in the benchmark harness.
Folds `+` when both sides statically evaluate to a string or number, with
JavaScript's own semantics ('v' + 2 === 'v2', 20 + 5 === 25); parenthesized
expressions are unwrapped for the same reason. Anything else still throws,
and a non-literal operand now surfaces the more specific identifier error.
Nothing asserted on --help, so a command that stopped being registered would ship silently. update-ai is the exposed case: its registration lives in a constructor rather than in index.ts.

Documentation Validation✅ Documentation validation passed! The documentation changes look good. Once merged, the documentation will be automatically deployed to GitHub Pages. Workflow: Documentation #34248982732 |
`n8nac --version` took ~1475ms of which ~83ms was Node and ~0ms was useful work: index.ts statically imported all ten command modules plus the manager facade, the workflow-core values and ConfigService, so printing a version string loaded the sync engine, credential commands, the test runner and ts-morph. Registration only needs literals, so commands are registered eagerly with commander and their implementation modules are imported inside `.action()`. Measured on a real global install: `--version` 1475 -> 297ms, `skills node-info gmail --compact` 1601 -> 695ms. The load-bearing part is config-service.ts, not index.ts: it imported the `../core/index.js` barrel, which re-exports sync-manager (-> transformer -> ts-morph) and preflight-node-validator (-> @n8n-as-code/skills). Every command running an action paid that through the telemetry postAction hook, `skills node-info` included. It only needs N8nApiClient and the identifier helpers, so it now imports the three files that define them. update-ai is registered inline: its constructor is what registered the command, so constructing it eagerly would have pulled the whole update-ai graph into every invocation. Its `program` parameter is now optional, keeping the self-registering shape available. A spawn-based test guards the command surface, since nothing asserted on `--help` before. telemetryCommandProperties and the postAction hook became async to await the lazy ConfigService; commander awaits postAction hooks.

…ommand Generated agent docs emit `npx --yes n8nac@<tag>` when nothing better resolves, and an agent then pays npx on every command. Measured, min of 5: `npx --yes semver@7.6.0` (100KB, zero dependencies) takes 3607ms and `npx --yes n8nac@next` takes 3664ms — a 57ms spread. The overhead is npm's own and is independent of what you run, so the CLI's startup work is invisible underneath it. No npx flag helps: --offline and an exact version both still measure ~3.1s. That makes the lazy-loading refactor unreachable through npx (328ms direct against ~3.6s through npx), so AGENTS.md now carries a one-time install step whenever the resolver actually fell back to the published npx form. The emitted command stays a working `npx` invocation for agents that ignore the advice, and the block is omitted when the command is already direct, where there is nothing to fix. Over the ~19 commands of a benchmark build that is ~65s of npx against ~12s to install once plus ~6s of commands.
… per tool call `n8nac mcp` was a long-lived server that refused to use its own longevity: every local tool call ran spawn(process.execPath, [cliEntry, 'skills', ...]) and threw the process away. Measured ~978-1002ms per call, paid again on every call. The four knowledge services are now constructed once and kept warm. Measured on the built package: barrel import 333ms, provider construct 1ms, first node lookup 203ms (the 14.8MB ontology parse), and the next five lookups 0ms in total. So the first tool call costs ~537ms and later ones are free, against ~1000ms every time. Per-service rather than one bundle: a node lookup must not pay for the workflow example index, and only the validator drags in ts-morph. Three correctness fixes fall out of it: - The registry is constructed with an explicit index path. The no-argument constructor self-resolves and, on a miss, prints to stderr and returns an EMPTY index with a success exit code — `examples search` was silently returning []. - resolveCustomNodesConfig now receives this service's cwd. The spawn path got that right by accident, by passing cwd to the child process. - The knowledge search limit is passed explicitly: KnowledgeSearch defaults to 20 while the CLI's --limit defaults to 10, so omitting it doubled every result set. `resolveNode` moves from a closure in skills-commander to a shared export, so `n8nac skills node-info` and `get_n8n_node_info` cannot drift on what counts as a match. The assets-dir resolver, duplicated between the CLI and the skills entry, is now one exported function resolved against the skills package's own directory. The six tests that asserted the argv handed to the spawned CLI are replaced by assertions on the payloads the tools actually return, against fixture assets via a new injectable assetsDir. The old shape would have kept passing while the data was wrong, which is exactly how the empty examples index survived.
…at it The Claude Code plugin shipped skills only, so an agent using it had exactly one way to reach the ontology: shell out to the CLI, once per lookup. Cursor's plugin has declared the MCP server since it was written; Claude's never did, and its own description recorded the choice as "uses the n8nac CLI as its local knowledge/runtime bridge". That asymmetry is what the benchmark measured. The n8n-as-code branch paid a fresh process per lookup because nothing offered it a resident one, while the branch it was compared against talked to a warm server. `n8nac mcp` existed the whole time and appeared in none of the five generated SKILL.md files, so an agent could not discover it even deliberately. Adds `mcpServers` to the Claude plugin manifest, matching Cursor's declaration, and a note at the top of Knowledge Commands telling agents to prefer the MCP tools when their runtime exposes them. Now that the server answers in-process, every call after the first is effectively free against a fresh process start per shell command.
run_5 gave the n8n-as-code branch a warm local MCP server and it made 16 CLI calls against 3 MCP calls. Its stated reason: `skills node-info` takes several nodes in one process and has `--compact`, while `get_n8n_node_info` took one node per call and only ever returned the full schema. A rational agent kept using the CLI. Measured over MCP against the real ontology, for gmail: full 126 960 bytes, compact 524 bytes — 242x. Four nodes now cost one call and 1 543 bytes, against four calls and roughly half a megabyte. `names` takes up to 25 nodes in one call. `compact` returns the same projection the CLI's --compact emits, reusing generateCompactNodeDoc rather than adding a second one: identity, required parameters with their enums, a minimal snippet, and the parameter gating flags. Those flags are the class of error that cost run_3 four invalid nodes. `name` stays accepted and unchanged, so existing callers are unaffected. The size assertion in the test is bounded rather than a ratio: fixture nodes are small enough that gmail's full schema is 294 bytes there, where a ratio would assert nothing.
…g it `setup` decided what to print by asking whether an environment was already listed on disk. A workspace `.env` makes that the wrong question: an environment is derivable without any command having been run, so setup printed "No workspace environment configured yet" for a workspace that had one, and the `env add` it suggested then failed with "already exists". It now asks whether an environment resolves. When one does, setup says which and against which host, in both text and JSON output; the next-step block is reserved for workspaces where nothing resolves, which is what it was for. Beyond correcting a false statement, this closes the discovery gap it created: the guidance that a `.env` is sufficient lives in AGENTS.md, which does not exist until `update-ai` has run, so anyone configuring a fresh workspace — agent or human — had no way to learn from the toolchain that the work was already done. Guarded by a spawn-based test: a workspace holding only a `.env` must report `workspaceEnvironment` and no `nextSteps`.
An adversarial review of this branch found the zero-config bootstrap to be the most defective change on it. Four faults, all now closed. **A write hidden inside a read.** `resolveEnvironment` has 27 call sites, one of which is a VS Code tree refresh. It created `n8nac-config.json`, copied `N8N_API_KEY` and `N8N_NATIVE_MCP_TOKEN` into the global plaintext secret store, enabled native MCP and pinned the environment. It now derives an ephemeral environment and persists nothing; the `.env` is already the source of truth on disk and duplicating the secrets into a second store bought nothing but exposure. **Unreachable where it mattered.** The bootstrap sat below the v4 gate in base.ts, so `list`, `pull` and `push` still reported an unconfigured CLI for a workspace that was in fact usable. The gate now asks `hasResolvableEnvironment()`, which accounts for a derivable `.env`. Verified: `n8nac list` against a live instance from a workspace holding nothing but a `.env`. **`N8N_HOST` is n8n's server bind variable, not a client URL.** A stock docker-compose `.env` carries `N8N_HOST=localhost`, which was accepted and failed later with no explanation. The value must now parse as an absolute http(s) URL, otherwise the bootstrap declines and the normal "not configured" path runs. **The derived environment could not be deleted.** `env remove default --force` reported success and the environment was still there. Nothing is persisted now, so there is nothing to remove: delete the `.env` and it is gone. Three tests cover the invariants that a benchmark run structurally cannot surface: no config file and no stored secrets after a resolve, a bare host declined, and a `.env`-only workspace reported as resolvable so command gates admit it.
Four silent failures the adversarial review found, all of the same shape: something
went wrong and the caller was told it went fine.
**A missing example index answered `[]` with a success exit code.** WorkflowRegistry's
constructor built an empty index instead of throwing, which made "asset missing" and
"no matching workflows" indistinguishable — and a resident MCP server memoized that
emptiness for its lifetime. It now throws. `skills-commander.ts` was still calling it
with no argument while `assetsDir` sat in scope, so the CLI was relying on exactly the
self-resolution that produced the bug; it passes the path now.
**A partly-failed batch exited 0.** `node-info a b typo` printed two schemas and
succeeded, so it passed straight through `set -e` and `&&`. Names that do not resolve
now set a failing exit code while the ones that did are still rendered. Over MCP the
batch form answers `{ nodes, notFound, inexactMatches }`, because returning only what
resolved lets a typo look like a node with no parameters. The single-name form keeps
its shape.
**A fuzzy match was indistinguishable from an exact one.** `resolveNode` accepts a
search hit scoring above 80, and a plausible-but-wrong name could land on a different
node with no signal — read by a caller as confirmation that the name was right. It now
reports which name it matched and whether the match was exact; the CLI says so on
stderr and the compact MCP output carries it as a comment.
**A resident server never noticed file edits.** The provider and validator memos are
now keyed on the custom-nodes file's path, mtime and size, so adding or editing
`n8nac-custom-nodes.json` takes effect without a restart. The custom-nodes config
itself is re-read per call rather than memoized: it is one small JSON.
Also removes `commands/workflows.ts`, unreferenced anywhere and building a
WorkflowRegistry at import time, and unpins the "~3.4s" npm figure that was being
emitted into every generated AGENTS.md as a property of npx. It was a measurement from
one machine, and it contradicted the "~2s" in update-ai.ts for the same phenomenon.
The `load` map is a hand-curated list of what was expensive on the day it was measured,
and nothing enforced it. One new static import of a heavy module at the top of index.ts
silently restores the second of startup the lazy refactor removed, and no other test in
the repo fails.
Asserts the eager import list against an allowlist rather than against a latency budget:
a timing assertion would be machine-dependent and flaky, while this is deterministic and
names the offending module. Type-only imports are ignored, since they are erased.
The failure message tells a contributor what to do — register the module in `load` and
import it inside the .action() that needs it, or extend the allowlist deliberately.
Verified by injecting `import { SyncCommand } from './commands/sync.js'` and confirming
the guard fails naming that module, rather than trusting that it would.
`UpdateAiCommand` registered the command from its constructor, so moving the command behind lazy loading meant copying its option list into index.ts and leaving a comment asking future contributors to keep the two in sync. The class kept an optional `program` parameter to preserve a self-registering shape whose only remaining caller passed a throwaway `new Command()` that nothing ever parsed. Removes the parameter, the registration block and the now-unused commander import. index.ts is the single source of truth for the option list, and the background refresh constructs the class for what it is actually for: `new UpdateAiCommand().run(...)`. A test asserts update-ai's options are reachable through `--help`. It is the one command registered by hand, so it is the one whose options can drift out of the CLI.
…achable `accessStatus` existed on every resolved environment and read `unknown` forever: it was derived from stored verification state that nothing wrote. A wrong host, a revoked key and a working setup all looked identical, and `env status` — which the generated guidance calls the source of workspace readiness — could not answer the question it exists to answer. An install probe run shows what that costs. Of 20 commands an agent needed to make a workspace usable, 8 were pure discovery, and five of those were it asking "how do I know this works?" in different ways: `env status --help`, `credential --help`, `credential list`, then grepping the generated AGENTS.md for `ready|status|doctor|verify|health`. `env status` now performs one authenticated request and reports the outcome. Verified against a live instance across all three states: a valid key reports `ready`, a malformed key `invalid-api-key`, an unreachable host `runtime-unavailable`. Capped at five seconds and never fatal, so an offline workspace still prints its configuration, and `--no-probe` skips it outright. The probe needed a new client method. Every existing read on N8nApiClient swallows failures and falls back to a placeholder, which is right for a caller that wants data and useless for one that wants to know whether the credentials work; `getHealth` only proved the host answers, since `/healthz` is unauthenticated. `verifyAccess` makes one request and reports it honestly. Also fixes an inconsistency this branch introduced: `env list` reported "no workspace environments configured" immediately after a successful `setup`, because the environment is now derived from `.env` rather than written to disk. It reports the derived environment and says where it came from.
… check Two commands read like the same thing and the more discoverable name is the one that cannot answer the question. An install probe agent put it exactly: "`n8nac workspace status` reads like the readiness command but prints only instance/project/path, no connectivity. The real signal is `env status --json`, and nothing points from one to the other." A previous run said the same from the other side: without the host, `workspace status` makes a successful `setup` read as a no-op. It already resolves the environment, so the host costs nothing to print. The live check stays in `env status`, because this command answers "what context am I in" rather than "does it work", and every context read should not hit the network — but it now says where that check lives.
An install probe agent found the zero-config path by running `workspace status` speculatively, and said why: "the `setup --help` text implies you must pass `--host`/`--api-key`". The capability existed and its own help argued against it. One sentence in the command description. It is the last discovery cost the probe still attributes to the product rather than to the sandbox.
`hideCommand` assigned a public `hidden` property. Commander reads `_hidden`, so the helper was a no-op from the day it was written and `setup` and `setup-modes` — the two commands it was applied to — have been listed the whole time. Confirmed against commander directly: `.hidden = true` leaves the command in the listing, `._hidden` does not. With the helper working, eight more commands leave the index: telemetry, credentials, find, fetch, promote, convert, convert-batch, mcp. The listing goes from 26 commands over 87 lines to 16 over 55, which fits a screen. The line is "occasional for every audience", not "human rather than agent": telemetry opt-out, one-off format conversion, a cache refresh, an environment promotion, and starting a server a plugin normally starts. Hiding what a human reaches for in order to shorten an agent's index would trade one audience for the other, which is the opposite of the point. Nothing is removed. Every hidden command still runs and still documents itself through `n8nac <command> --help`; a test asserts both halves — absent from the index, reachable on its own — because a helper that silently does nothing is exactly what this fixes. Why it matters: an install probe agent read the 25-command listing in two passes, then gave up and grepped the compiled bundle to enumerate commands.
Three probe runs on the trimmed index gave 11, 12 and 14 commands against 8 and 10 on the two builds before it, and discovery — the bucket the trim was meant to shrink — sat at exactly 2 in all three, which is what it already was. The change bought nothing and cost two things. A probe agent found the first: "README documents `promote`, `convert`, `convert-batch` which are absent from `n8nac --help` in this build." An index that contradicts the documentation is worse than a long index. `credentials` was in the same position. Those four go back in the listing. What stays hidden is what the package README teaches nowhere: `telemetry`, `find`, `fetch`, `mcp`. Twenty commands over 70 lines rather than sixteen over 55 — less of a win, and an honest one. The second cost is unresolved and left as the author had it: `setup` and `setup-modes` were meant to be hidden and, because the helper never worked, never were. Now that they are, two of three runs reported the readiness path as non-obvious with no `init` or `setup` in the index, and were rescued by `workspace status` pointing at `env status`. Reversing that is the author's call, not a mechanical one.
Two of three install probe runs hunted for an `init` or `setup` entry point in the top-level index and did not find one; both were rescued only by `workspace status` pointing at `env status`. It was marked hidden from the day that helper was written, but the helper assigned the wrong property and never hid anything, so nobody had seen the index without `setup` until this branch fixed it. The intent was never tested against a reader. It has been now, and it costs. `setup-modes` stays hidden: it enumerates the modes `setup --help` already explains, and no run looked for it.
I pushed the previous commit with this test red: listing `setup` again brought the index to 21 and the assertion capped it at 20. Caught on the run after, not before. The cap is a ratchet rather than a target — the index is already long enough that a probe agent read it in two passes, so growing it further should be deliberate.
…id options
Two independent builder runs rejected the compact projection for the same reason. From
run_7: "`get_n8n_node_info` with `compact:true` returns no parameter names or options,
only the decorator skeleton — unusable for authoring, so every node needed a second full
lookup. Compact cost a round trip instead of saving one." From run_6, the same finding
from the other side.
They were right. The body was `Node = { /* parameters */ };` — no resource, no
operation, no values. A 242x size win that forces two lookups is not a win.
Compact now emits the resource and operation discriminators with their valid values, in
the comment block and in the snippet body. For gmail: 809 bytes against 59 114 full.
It also stops stating something false. n8n splits `operation` into one property per
resource, gated by `displayOptions`, and the projection read only the first — so gmail
advertised `create|delete|get|getAll` from the draft variant and hid `send`, and
`googleCalendarTool` advertised `availability` alone while hiding `event/getAll`. A
run_6 builder caught it: "a compact-only reading would have misled." Options are now
unioned across variants and operations grouped under the resource that gates them, so
picking a valid pair is possible from the compact view alone.
Tests cover both: the discriminators are present and the snippet body is no longer a
placeholder, and a two-variant operation reports both variants rather than the first.
`generateCompactNodeDoc` grouped operations on `displayOptions.show.resource` alone. The validator decides a variant applies by evaluating every key of that `show`, so compact advertised pairs it rejects: variants belonging to another node version, and variants that additionally require `source` or `authentication`. It also read the enum of a single property variant for the `required:` block, which is the bug 41da41c fixed for the discriminators and left in place two lines above. Grouping is now judged the same way the validator judges it: `@version` is evaluated (including `_cnd` comparators), non-resource gates are named in the label rather than dropped, values are deduped, and a group keyed on a resource the node's own enum does not carry is not a pair anyone can write. Required enums union across variants; required structured params print their real shape, capped, instead of a bare `resourceLocator`. The guard is the property itself, against the bundled ontology and the real validator: 5 960 printed pairs across 831 nodes, none rejected. Verified it fails by removing the version filter. gmail compact: 524 -> 809 bytes, still 73x smaller than the raw node payload; the widest node is 1 920 bytes.
…ng a node `resolveNode` gated its fuzzy fallback on `searchNodes`' relevance score. That score is unbounded and is not a similarity measure: for `zzzznotanode` the top hit scored 133 and was `vectorStoreWeaviate`, so the `> 80` threshold was a no-op and every miss became a confident wrong node. `sendEmail` resolved to `awsSesTool`, `postgresql` to `vectorStorePGVector`. The candidate now earns the match on its name — normalized containment or a small edit distance — and the shortest passing candidate wins, so `sheets` is `googleSheets` and not `googleSheetsTrigger`. A real miss returns nothing and both call sites name the search hits instead, so it costs a suggestion rather than a round trip. Also: the single-name MCP form dropped `inexactMatches` entirely, the one shape where landing on a different node read as confirmation that the requested name was right. It carries `resolvedFrom` now, as the batch and compact forms do and as the CLI prints on stderr.
Four defects on the path that makes a bare workspace `.env` work, all of them reporting success or a wrong answer rather than failing: - `probeEnvironmentAccess` never cleared its timeout, so an uncleared timer held the event loop open and a probe that answered in 200 ms still made the command take the full 5 s to exit. The cap is meant to bound the wait, not become it. - `--no-probe` was registered on `env auth clear`, which does not probe, and not on `env status`, which does. - `resolveEnvironment(name)` returned the derived environment whatever name was asked for, so `--env prod` reported success against the `.env` host and the caller believed it had switched instance. - `accessStatus` was derived before the `.env` key was attached, reporting `missing-api-key` for a workspace holding one, and `getNativeMcpToken` read only the secret store, which has no entry for an environment that persists nothing — status said the token was configured and every consumer got `undefined`. `env status <unknown>` now prints the message that already says what to do, instead of a Node stack trace over it. Measured: 5.27 s -> 0.32 s with a probe, 0.26 s with `--no-probe`.
…ent or a miss The 82581ae gate judged containment in either direction and let the shortest name win, so 'Slack Trigger' collapsed onto the parent 'slack' node (126 of 831 nodes) while display names the search engine ranks as words but not as camelCase ('Send Email', 'Monday.com', 92 total) came back 'not found'. - containment only runs from the query to the candidate: a candidate whose name is contained in the query is a different (parent) node - an exact normalized match on the name or display name is that node, and outranks 'shortest wins'; the spellings are also looked up directly so a camelCase query does not depend on the search ranking - normalizeNodeName strips only a real n8n-nodes-* package prefix: reducing dotted display names to their TLD made 'Monday.com' normalize to 'com' Guarded by the property itself: every display name in the ontology now resolves to its own node, exactly (829 unambiguous names, 2 shared by two nodes each).
- compact names an oversized required shape and points at node-info --json; a mid-token cut is neither small nor usable, unlike every other cap here - a missing workflow index killed every examples subcommand and batch examples-* lookup with a raw unhandled-rejection stack; getRegistry now prints the registry's own message and exits 1 - node-info/node-schema --json get their next-step hints back: they go to stderr, so they cannot corrupt the JSON on stdout
- the probe budget is passed into the request (timeout + AbortSignal):
a probe that only lost a Promise.race kept its socket open until the
30s client-level timeout, so env status on a dead host took 30s to exit
- verifyAccess accepts only a 2xx as proof the n8n public API took the key:
a 404 from a non-n8n host or an HTML error page used to report
'Access: ready'; 401/403 stays invalid-api-key, anything else is
runtime-unavailable
- env list --json emits the derived .env environment through the same
{activeEnvironmentId, environments:[{...resolved}]} shape as persisted
ones, instead of a bare array with different fields
…resolving env status The keyless .env fallback makes env status --json resolve with accessStatus missing-api-key, so step 3's 'if it resolves, skip setup' sent agents past a workspace that could not reach its instance. Ready is now the only skip signal, and a missing or invalid key routes straight to the credential step. Regenerated across the five adapter copies.

The local MCP server stopped being a shell wrapper
n8nac mcpwas a long-lived process that spawned a fresh CLI per tool call. It now serves local knowledge in-process: barrel import 333 ms, first node lookup 203 ms, the next five lookups 0 ms in total. First call ~537 ms, later ones free, against ~1000 ms every time.Three correctness fixes fell out: the registry gets an explicit index path (its no-argument constructor returned an empty index with a success exit code, and a resident server memoized that),
resolveCustomNodesConfigreceives this service's cwd rather than getting it right by accident through the spawn, and the knowledge-search limit is passed explicitly (the service defaults to 20 where the CLI defaults to 10).get_n8n_node_infogainednames[]andcompact. Measured over MCP forgmail: full 126 960 bytes, compact 524 bytes. Four nodes now cost one call and 1 543 bytes. A benchmark run had shown an agent with a warm MCP server still making 16 CLI calls against 3 MCP, because the MCP tool took one node per call and only returned full schemas.The Claude Code plugin also never declared the server — Cursor's had since it was written — so an agent using it had exactly one route to the ontology.
Install: 20 commands to 8
An install probe measured what it takes an agent to make a workspace usable, and iterated on it. Same prompt, fresh sandbox, four runs:
The last two runs differ by less than agent variance at n=1; the step down from 20 is the real signal. What the logs showed, in order:
accessStatuswas permanentlyunknown— derived from verification state nothing wrote. A wrong host, a revoked key and a working setup were indistinguishable, and the agent asked "how do I know this works?" five different ways, including grepping the generated AGENTS.md forready|status|doctor|verify|health.env statusnow makes one authenticated request:ready/invalid-api-key/runtime-unavailable, capped at 5 s, never fatal,--no-probeto skip.workspace statusnever showed the host, so a successfulsetupread as a no-op.setup --helpargued against its own feature, implying--host/--api-keywere required when a.envsuffices.Zero-config, reworked after review
The
