  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hey, looks like your workflow JSON got cut off and the description is mostly empty — can you re-paste the full workflow and include the exact error message you’re seeing when the nodes get disabled? Knowing your n8n version and whether you’re self-hosted or cloud would help too.

Based on the workflow data you’ve shared @rdnetech these are the issues preventing you from publishing and enabling MCP:

  1. Disabled nodes with errors:

    • The “Leasing Operations Agent2” node is disabled ("disabled": true)

    • It has "onError": "continueRegularOutput" set, which suggests it was experiencing errors

    • The node is disconnected - it has no outgoing connections

  2. Incomplete workflow:

    • The SMS/Phone Trigger2 has no connections to any other nodes

    • The Leasing Operations Agent2 is isolated with no connections

    • These nodes aren’t linked together to form a functional workflow

Thanks for responding John!

I tried to send the entire workflow…it was more than 32k characters. there are 49 nodes in this version. I also tried to post more than one node but it was difficult. How do I Post the entire workflow?

You can upload the workflow JSON as a .json file attachment in your post, just drag and drop it into the editor or use the upload button. That way you don’t hit the character limit.

It says new users can’t upload attachments

Try pasting it on pastebin.com or gist.github.com and sharing the link here, that’s the easiest workaround for the new user upload restriction.

Hey John, We fixed the issues. However, we have a problem with activating and publishing our most recent workflow. Background: We created an original workflow which we then imported a subsequent workflow which was separate from the original. We then, imported a new and improved version which created a 3rd, separate workflow. Realizing this problem, we changed the paths to reflect inbound-leasing-v1, inbound-leasing-v2, inbound-leasing-v3. Once we did this, v1 and v2 automatically disappeared and believe they were deleted. Now the current problem is: we cannot activate or publish our v3 workflow. It appears that one of the previous workflows that were deleted has the activation and is somehow registered as the active workflow. We need to change the activation from the previous workflow to the current workflow (v3) and be able to activate and publish it. We await, with great anticipation, your words of wisdom. BTW, we live in Santa Monica and would love to go to Santa Barbara to buy you lunch. Just let us know what day works best for you.
