Implementation Reference

  • Handler function that executes the delete-user tool by retrieving the N8nClient instance and invoking its deleteUser method with the provided idOrEmail.
    case "delete-user": {
      const { clientId, idOrEmail } = args as { clientId: string; idOrEmail: string };
      const client = clients.get(clientId);
      if (!client) {
        return {
          content: [{
            type: "text",
            text: "Client not initialized. Please run init-n8n first.",
          }],
          isError: true
        };
      }
    
      try {
        await client.deleteUser(idOrEmail);
        return {
          content: [{
            type: "text",
            text: `Successfully deleted user: ${idOrEmail}`,
          }]
        };
      } catch (error) {
        return {
          content: [{
            type: "text",
            text: error instanceof Error ? error.message : "Unknown error occurred",
          }],
          isError: true
        };
      }
    }
  • src/index.ts:603-614 (registration)
    Registration of the 'delete-user' tool in the ListToolsRequestSchema response, specifying name, description, and input schema.
    {
      name: "delete-user",
      description: "Delete a user from your instance.",
      inputSchema: {
        type: "object",
        properties: {
          clientId: { type: "string" },
          idOrEmail: { type: "string" }
        },
        required: ["clientId", "idOrEmail"]
      }
    },
  • Helper method in N8nClient class that sends the DELETE request to the n8n API endpoint /users/{idOrEmail} to delete the user.
    async deleteUser(idOrEmail: string): Promise<void> {
      return this.makeRequest<void>(`/users/${idOrEmail}`, {
        method: 'DELETE',
      });
    }
