Summary
Node lookup and workflow syntax checks, without leaving the editor.
The catalogue search earns its place: n8n has a lot of nodes and their names do not always say what they do, so keyword search across descriptions and use cases beats scrolling the palette. Validation is syntax-level — it catches a malformed workflow file, not a workflow that runs but is wrong.
What it is
A Go server for n8n work: it checks a workflow file's syntax, searches the node catalogue by keyword, and looks up community workflow templates.
What you get
- validate_workflow checks the syntax of an n8n workflow held in a JSON file
- search_n8n_nodes finds n8n nodes by keyword
- search_workflow searches community n8n workflow templates
- ping confirms the server is reachable
- Tool and parameter descriptions come back in the language you pick: Korean, English, Japanese, Vietnamese, Traditional Chinese or Thai
- A standalone build bakes the node data into the binary, so it runs with no external data files
- Search weighting across name, overview, use case and operation is adjustable at launch
Requirements
Go to build, or a prebuilt binary for your platform. It runs as a local process with no account or key, and the standalone build needs no data directory beside it.
Setup effort
Build from source — clone the repository and build it, then point your client at the binary
