Any chance of being able to utilize community nodes in n8n.cloud?
Last I heard this was planned and is waiting for two security audits. Perhaps @sirdavidoff can share some details already

Would love to be able to use this node specifically : GitHub - hckdotng/n8n-nodes-puppeteer-extended: Puppeteer automation through n8n
Any update on this one @MutedJam @sirdavidoff ?
I think for the puppeteer node there was some extra stuff needed as well, not just the community node. So not sure if this would even be possible on the n8n cloud. I would definitely understand if they don’t want you installing all kinds of extra stuff on there as well.
We will hear what the n8n team has to say on it though.
Yes, I believe that node requires puppeteer to also be installed, which wouldn’t be simple to do on Cloud.

Just circling back, as it’s been several months. Any updates?
Unfortunately not yet, but I’ve asked once again internally about this.
Hi @lequeuxa, I am afraid I do not have new information here 
Last I asked was in May after my last post and the feedback back then was that it might be coming next quarter, but no promises or definitive ETA unfortunately.

@MutedJam It’s been more than a year. Any updates on this?
Hi @tralston, I no longer work at n8n, so I’m afraid I have no insight into the current roadmap. If you need community nodes now, self-hosting would be the way to go.

Bummer, I just went through the process of starting a new community node that we need, only to find out I have to do a bunch more work to actually use it…
Bizarre that as a paying customer you have less features than a self-hosted one.

n8n any update please. I am looking for this functionality and if probably going to effect my subscription decision?
Heres something I’ve been thinking about as a workaround
To allow community nodes on n8n cloud while minimizing security risks, I propose introducing a cross platform local n8n agent that users can download. This agent would:
- Execute community node logic locally.
- Return only the output data to the n8n cloud workflow.
- Tunnel execution requests from the cloud to the local device whenever a community node is run.
This approach could also enable previously restricted nodes like Execute to be offered on the cloud. Ideally, the agent would manage the network connection and auto-setup via WebSockets, making the process seamless for users.
This keeps the cloud environment secure while still enabling advanced community functionality. Users get the benefits of the cloud UI, scheduling, and integrations without compromising hosted infrastructure.
Theres my two cents😅

Hey all, we are actively working on getting a first batch of community nodes to n8n cloud right now and should have something before end of April.
We talked very briefly about it during the February livestream, those are always a good source to hear about upcoming features. 
For now, we’ll vet and verify all of these nodes for functionality and security and just allow nodes that have no external dependencies (should be fine for most integration-type nodes).
In Q2, our plan is to explore something similar in spirit to what @Chrevor suggests — node sandboxing — to be able to vet faster and lift the dependencies constraint. But when that will see production is still TBD.
Docs on how to submit a node for verification are pending, I’ll update here once we’ve got something worth sharing. If you do already have a node that you’d want to see on Cloud, you can submit it via this form: Submit Your Community Node for Verification by n8n

Is there somewhere we can see a list of community nodes being added in this upcoming batch along with their function capabilities?
I am desperate for a node which allows PDF merging, and would like to know if it’s worth waiting for the release or if I need to find a work around.
Thanks,
Alfie
