Roadmap & feature tracker

[ratamaha-git]

Tracking upcoming improvements and community requests.

Planned

• Sub-workflow support — resolve and inline referenced sub-workflows during generation
• Error pattern library — map common n8n execution errors to fix suggestions
• Credential validator — detect missing or misconfigured credentials before execution
• Workflow complexity score — estimate token cost and execution time before running
• Multi-instance support — connect to more than one n8n instance per session

Recently shipped

• v0.5.5 — current release on npm
• v0.5.0 — workflow.diff, execution.replay, execution.timeline, 10 new lint rules, runtime policy env vars (N8N_MCP_READ_ONLY, N8N_MCP_DISABLED_TOOLS, N8N_MCP_ALLOWED_WORKFLOW_IDS, N8N_MCP_ALLOWED_TAGS)
• v1.0.0 — n8n MCP GitHub Action for CI-integrated workflow validation
• v0.4.0 — workflow generation, linting, execution diagnosis, live n8n REST tools

v0.5.0 update — May 2026

Closing out a few roadmap items from this release:

Shipped in v0.5.0:

• ✅ Workflow diff tool (workflow.diff) — compares two workflow JSONs and reports nodes added/removed/modified, connection rewires, and settings changes. Works entirely offline.
• ✅ Execution replay (execution.replay) — re-run a single node with synthetic input items without a live n8n instance. Closes the debug loop after execution.explain.
• ✅ Execution timeline (execution.timeline) — per-node timeline table showing start time, duration, items in/out, and errors.
• ✅ Expanded lint rules (10 new) — rate-limit nodes, credential drift, expression staleness, code sandbox, webhook test path, manualTrigger-in-active, DST schedule risk, disabled-but-wired, empty Set, HTTP method/body mismatch.
• ✅ Runtime policy env vars — N8N_MCP_READ_ONLY, N8N_MCP_DISABLED_TOOLS, N8N_MCP_ALLOWED_WORKFLOW_IDS, N8N_MCP_ALLOWED_TAGS for scoped deployments.

Still on the roadmap:

• Sub-workflow support — resolve and inline referenced sub-workflows during generation
• Error pattern library — map common n8n execution errors to fix suggestions
• Credential validator — detect missing or misconfigured credentials before execution
• Workflow complexity score — estimate token cost and execution time before running
• Multi-instance support — connect to more than one n8n instance per session

Still on the roadmap:

• Sub-workflow support
• Error pattern library
• Credential validator
• Workflow complexity score
• Multi-instance support

PRs welcome for any of the above.
