Use it when changing the project to follow its code structure, MCP conventions, database practices, and build and test commands.
Why use it?
It keeps work in the repository consistent and helps prevent private credentials, customer data, and infrastructure details from being committed.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions subagents.

This is PCT-BR/n8n-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on n8n-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything n8n-mcp configures →

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

n8n-mcp AGENTS.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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to n8n-mcp AGENTS.md — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Repository Guidelines

Project Overview

n8n-mcp is a Model Context Protocol server that gives AI assistants access to n8n node documentation, workflow validation, and workflow management. Documentation and validation tools work offline against the bundled SQLite node database. Management tools prefixed with n8n_ operate on a live n8n instance and require API configuration.

Project Structure & Module Organization

Core TypeScript lives in src/. Important subsystems include:

  • src/mcp/ — MCP server, request handlers, tool definitions and documentation, and bundled skills
  • src/database/ — SQLite adapters, repositories, FTS5 search, and migrations
  • src/loaders/, src/parsers/, src/mappers/ — node loading, metadata parsing, and documentation mapping
  • src/services/ — validation, workflow diffing and autofix, node/version lookup, the n8n API client, and security scanners
  • src/templates/ and src/community/ — workflow-template and community-node ingestion and documentation
  • src/telemetry/, src/triggers/, and src/n8n/ — telemetry, trigger detection, and the n8n community-node wrapper
  • src/scripts/ — maintenance scripts compiled to dist/scripts/
  • src/types/, src/constants/, and src/utils/ — shared types, constants, and helpers
  • src/http-server*.ts — HTTP transports and session persistence
  • src/mcp-engine.ts and src/mcp-tools-engine.ts — APIs for embedding the server

Tests mirror the source areas in tests/unit/ and tests/integration/, with fixtures, factories, helpers, and mocks under tests/. React/Vite apps live in ui-apps/src/, repository utilities in scripts/, documentation in docs/, and generated skills and databases in data/. Treat dist/, coverage output, and ui-apps/dist/ as generated; do not edit them directly.

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.
