官方文档:README.md

环境准备与基础配置

系统要求与安装选项

n8n-mcp支持多种安装方式,包括npx快速启动、Docker容器化部署以及本地开发环境搭建。对于LangChain节点集成,推荐使用Docker方式以确保依赖一致性。

# 拉取优化的Docker镜像 (~280MB)
docker pull ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest

⚡ 超优化设计:Docker镜像比典型n8n镜像小82%,不包含n8n依赖,仅包含运行时MCP服务器和预构建数据库。

基础配置示例

以下是支持LangChain节点的基本配置,适用于Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "n8n-mcp": {
      "command": "docker",

LangChain节点类型与应用场景

核心LangChain节点概述

n8n-mcp支持完整的LangChain节点集,这些节点使用@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.前缀标识,与使用n8n-nodes-base.前缀的核心节点区分。主要节点类型包括:

节点类别功能描述应用场景
语言模型集成OpenAI、Anthropic等LLM文本生成、摘要、翻译
向量存储连接Pinecone、Weaviate等向量数据库语义搜索、RAG应用
工具调用使AI能够调用外部API和工具数据获取、函数执行
链与代理构建复杂AI工作流和智能代理自动化决策、多步骤任务

典型应用场景

  1. 智能文档处理:结合LangChain的文档加载器、文本分割器和向量存储节点,构建企业知识库检索系统
  2. AI客服自动化:使用对话链节点维护上下文,结合工具调用处理客户查询
  3. 研发辅助工具:通过代码理解节点分析代码库,自动生成文档和修复建议
  4. 市场情报分析:利用网络搜索工具和LLM节点处理非结构化数据,生成竞争分析报告

高级集成技巧:构建AI增强型工作流

1. 向量存储与检索增强生成(RAG)

以下示例展示如何结合LangChain的向量存储节点与n8n的HTTP请求节点,构建一个完整的RAG工作流:

{
  "nodes": [
    {
      "name": "Webhook",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.webhook",
      "parameters": {
        "httpMethod": "POST",
        "path": "rag-query",
        "responseMode": "lastNode"
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "LangChain Vector Store",
      "type": "@n8n/nodes-langchain.vectorStore",
      "parameters": {
        "resource": "vectorStore",
        "operation": "similaritySearch",
        "vectorStoreType": "pinecone",
        "indexName": "company-docs",
        "query": "{{ $json.query }}",
        "k": 5
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "LangChain LLM",
      "type": "@n8n/nodes-langchain.llm",
      "parameters": {
        "resource": "llm",
        "operation": "completion",
        "llmType": "openai",
        "model": "gpt-4",
        "prompt": "基于以下上下文回答问题: {{ $node[\"LangChain Vector Store\"].json.outputs }} 问题: {{ $json.query }}"
      }
    }
  ],
  "connections": {
    "Webhook": {
      "main": [
        [
          {
            "node": "LangChain Vector Store",
            "type": "main",
            "index": 0
          }
        ]
      ]
    },
    "LangChain Vector Store": {
      "main": [
        [
          {
            "node": "LangChain LLM",
            "type": "main",
            "index": 0
          }
        ]
      ]
    }
  }
}

关键最佳实践:始终显式配置所有参数,避免依赖默认值,这是防止运行时错误的最有效方法。

2. AI代理与工具调用工作流

利用LangChain的代理节点,创建能够自主调用工具的AI助手:

{
  "nodes": [
    {
      "name": "LangChain Agent",
      "type": "@n8n/nodes-langchain.agent",
      "parameters": {
        "resource": "agent",
        "operation": "execute",
        "agentType": "zeroShotReactDescription",
        "llmType": "openai",
        "model": "gpt-4",
        "tools": [
          "n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest",
          "n8n-nodes-base.googleSheets"
        ],
        "prompt": "分析最新市场数据并生成销售预测,使用提供的工具获取必要信息"
      }
    }
  ]
}

工具调用流程可视化:

调试与优化策略

节点验证与错误处理

n8n-mcp提供多级验证机制,确保LangChain节点配置正确:

  1. 快速验证:检查必填字段
validate_node_minimal("@n8n/nodes-langchain.llm", {
  "resource": "llm",
  "operation": "completion",
  "llmType": "openai",
  "model": "gpt-4"
})
  1. 全面验证:包括运行时兼容性检查
validate_node_operation("@n8n/nodes-langchain.vectorStore", {
  "resource": "vectorStore",
  "operation": "similaritySearch"
}, "runtime")
  1. 工作流级验证:检查节点连接和数据流转
validate_workflow(workflow)

性能优化技巧

  1. 内存优化:对于长时间运行的部署,配置SQLite保存间隔
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "n8n-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-e", "SQLJS_SAVE_INTERVAL_MS=10000",
        "ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}
  1. 批处理操作:使用部分更新减少API调用
n8n_update_partial_workflow({
  "id": "wf-123",
  "operations": [
    {"type": "updateNode", "nodeId": "langchain-1", "changes": {...}},
    {"type": "updateNode", "nodeId": "langchain-2", "changes": {...}}
  ]
})
  1. 连接管理:正确配置多输出节点的分支路由
{
  "type": "addConnection",
  "source": "if-node-id",
  "target": "success-handler",
  "sourcePort": "main",
  "targetPort": "main",
  "branch": "true"
}

部署与扩展最佳实践

生产环境配置

对于生产环境中的LangChain节点集成,建议使用Docker Compose进行部署,确保服务稳定性和可扩展性:

version: '3'

services:
  n8n-mcp:
    image: ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest
    environment:
      - MCP_MODE=http
      - PORT=4000
      - LOG_LEVEL=info
      - N8N_API_URL=https://your-n8n-instance.com
      - N8N_API_KEY=${N8N_API_KEY}
      - SQLJS_SAVE_INTERVAL_MS=10000
    ports:
      - "4000:4000"
    restart: always

详细部署指南:n8n Deployment Guide

多节点协作与资源管理

当工作流包含多个LangChain节点时,实施以下最佳实践:

  1. 节点命名规范:使用清晰描述性名称,如LangChain Vector Store - Product Docs而非简单的Vector Store
  2. 资源隔离:为不同项目或部门创建单独的向量存储索引
  3. 批量操作:使用n8n_update_partial_workflow进行多节点更新
  4. 监控与警报:集成n8n的执行日志和错误处理机制
n8n_update_partial_workflow({
  "id": "support-workflow",
  "operations": [
    {"type": "updateNode", "nodeId": "LangChain LLM", "changes": {"model": "gpt-4-turbo"}},
    {"type": "updateNode", "nodeId": "LangChain Vector Search", "changes": {"k": 10}},
    {"type": "cleanStaleConnections"}
  ]
})
