I usually end up going through a bunch of `n8n-nodes-*` (and my use case) packages on npm whenever I need something specific. Open npm → click a few packages → check GitHub → see what operations it supports → repeat. Feels a bit manual. Is this just how everyone does it, or am I missing a better way? ---

Hi @Rishabh_Dugar n8n actually has a proper directory for this now. just go to [n8n.io/integrations](http://n8n.io/integrations) and check the community nodes filter. it pulls the package info and usually lists the operations right on the page so you don’t have to dig through github repos one by one. you can also just search directly inside your n8n workspace under settings \> community nodes. it hooks straight into npm and shows the readme right there. way less clicking around. ---

For unverified nodes , that is what i do as well , @A_A4 , can we search these nodes as well? ---

@Rishabh_Dugar more ways ways to discover community nodes: 1. **Search in the n8n editor** — Open the Nodes panel, search by name. Verified nodes (🛡) appear under “More from the community” and can be installed with one click. Requires n8n v1.94.0+. [[Verified nodes](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/community-nodes/installation/verified-install/#install-verified-community-nodes-in-the-n8n-app)] 2. **npm keyword search** — Go to `npmjs.com/search?q=keywords:n8n-community-node-package` to see all community nodes at once. [[Community nodes](https://blog.n8n.io/community-nodes-available-on-n8n-cloud/#what%E2%80%99s-new-in-this-release)] 3. **Node details endpoint** (self-hosted) — `https:///types/nodes.json` for programmatic exploration. [[Node API](http://community.n8n.io/t/116344)] ---

[[Community nodes](https://blog.n8n.io/community-nodes-available-on-n8n-cloud/#what%E2%80%99s-new-in-this-release)] No, you cannot search for unverified community nodes from within the n8n editor. The in-editor discovery only works for verified nodes. For unverified nodes, the **npm keyword search** remains the best approach: ---

I might try building a small explorer that indexes all `n8n-community-node-package` modules, parses their README / node definitions, and makes them searchable by operations & use case. Will share it here if I put something useful together 👍 ---
