Implementation Reference

  • The handler function that implements the n8n_delete_workflow tool. It extracts the workflow ID from arguments, validates it, calls the N8nApiClient's deleteWorkflow method, and returns a success response.
    n8n_delete_workflow: async (
      client: N8nApiClient,
      args: Record<string, unknown>
    ): Promise<ToolResult> => {
      const id = args.id as string;
      if (!id) {
        throw new Error('Workflow ID is required');
      }
    
      await client.deleteWorkflow(id);
    
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: 'text' as const,
            text: JSON.stringify({
              success: true,
              message: `Workflow ${id} deleted successfully`,
            }, null, 2),
          },
        ],
      };
    },
  • The tool definition including name, description, and input schema for validating the 'id' parameter.
    {
      name: 'n8n_delete_workflow',
      description: 'Permanently delete a workflow. This action cannot be undone.',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          id: {
            type: 'string',
            description: 'The workflow ID to delete',
          },
        },
        required: ['id'],
      },
    },
  • src/server.ts:122-125 (registration)
    The registration/dispatch logic in the MCP server that routes tool calls matching workflowToolHandlers (including n8n_delete_workflow) to the appropriate handler function.
    if (name in workflowToolHandlers) {
      const handler = workflowToolHandlers[name as keyof typeof workflowToolHandlers];
      return handler(client, args);
    }
