Connect Claude Desktop App to MCP Server Trigger node

Questions
1

I´ve been using this tutorial video https://youtu.be/dRlOOiGOcMM?si=0uqdlQ3mgkN0fG0sto connect a mcp server trigger node to Claude desktop app. I am using the recommended setup for the claude_desktop_config.json. (see here: n8n doc)

The problem is that there is no connection between Claude and the node and I suspect that it may because of Caddy that serves as a reverse proxy for my self hosted n8n. In the document it is mentioned as a possible problem and they explain how to solve it with ninx. I am not an expert with protocols so if anybody could help me out and explain how i have to adapt my Caddyfile to enable SSE.
I do not get any error message nor is there any mcp log file in the Claude app.

##Workflow

## Information on my n8n setup
- **n8n version:**1.92.2
- **Running n8n via Docker compose/caddy:**
- **Operating system:** Ubuntu

There are quite a few people who have issues with this, I see one solution here MCP error 1004: Network error connecting to n8n API - #2 by King_Samuel_David

But may not apply in this instance, as they was using cloud, it could be a number of thing, feel free to share u docker file and setting for proxy
