Publishing chat agents to N8N chat not showing up

Questions
1

Self-hosted n8n. I turned on “Make Available in n8n Chat Hub” on a Chat Trigger, enabled streaming on the AI Agent, published the workflow, I’m the instance owner — and /home/chat/workflow-agents is still empty. “No workflow agents available.”

Tried:

  • A minimal 3-node workflow (Chat Trigger → AI Agent → OpenAI model), directly connected, matches the fixture in the n8n repo.

  • Toggling the switch off/on and republishing.

  • Different agent names, descriptions, suggested prompts.

Chat Hub itself seems installed (the admin endpoints are reachable). Every documented requirement looks met. Nothing ever appears in the list.

Is there an instance-level flag I’m missing? Where should I look next?

good day @Skyler76
I’d check the license/feature availability and also check the browser network response for /home/chat/workflow-agents and the n8n server logs when opening that page

Hi @Skyler76, your AI agent must have streaming toggled on. The possible instance-level issue on this can be the one described here:

You can share your workflow with us as well.

@Skyler76, the workflow-agents endpoint is empty on any version before 2.1.0 even though the Chat Hub sidebar icon and admin routes exist — n8n --version in your container will tell you immediately. upgrade to latest stable if you’re behind, the agent listing landed in 2.1. here’s a minimal workflow that works on 2.1+, import it directly and see if it shows up:

plug your openai creds into the model node, activate the workflow, and check /home/chat/workflow-agents again — if it still shows nothing run n8n --version and drop it here.
