Features

  • API Specification Database (api_spec.db): Stores details about n8n API endpoints, loaded from an OpenAPI/Swagger JSON file. Used by search and detail tools.

  • Fast Memory Database (fast_memory.db): Caches successful API calls linked to natural language queries. Allows for quick retrieval of previously used calls and suggests saving new successful calls.

  • list_fast_memory: List entries currently stored in the Fast Memory database, optionally filtering by a search term.
