What is n8n-mcp-server CLAUDE.md?

A project guidance file for an n8n MCP server. n8n is a workflow automation tool, and MCP is a protocol that lets AI systems connect to tools and data.

It is for guiding setup, development, building, testing, linting, and future documentation of the n8n integration.

It records the repository's current status and the commands and architectural areas developers should expect as the project grows.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00165	$0.00165
Opus 5.5	$0.00066	$0.00066
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00033	$0.00033
Haiku 4.5	$0.00016	$0.00016

Security

Grade A, and why

n8n-mcp-server CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Project Status

This appears to be a new/empty repository for an n8n MCP (Model Context Protocol) server project.

Getting Started

npm install - Install dependencies
npm run build - Build the project
npm run dev - Run in development mode
npm run test - Run tests
npm run lint - Run linting

This will be populated once the project structure is established. Key areas to document:

MCP server implementation details
n8n integration patterns
Configuration management
API endpoints and protocols

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
