Database & Memory Configuration
Database Adapters
n8n-mcp uses SQLite for storing node documentation. Two adapters are available:
-
better-sqlite3 (Default in Docker)
- Native C++ bindings for best performance
- Direct disk writes (no memory overhead)
- Enabled by default in Docker images (v2.20.2+)
- Memory usage: ~100-120 MB stable
-
sql.js (Fallback)
- Pure JavaScript implementation
- In-memory database with periodic saves
- Used when better-sqlite3 compilation fails
- Memory usage: ~150-200 MB stable
Memory Optimization (sql.js)
If using sql.js fallback, you can configure the save interval to balance between data safety and memory efficiency:
Environment Variable:
SQLJS_SAVE_INTERVAL_MS=5000 # Default: 5000ms (5 seconds)
Usage:
- Controls how long to wait after database changes before saving to disk
- Lower values = more frequent saves = higher memory churn
- Higher values = less frequent saves = lower memory usage
- Minimum: 100ms
- Recommended: 5000-10000ms for production
Docker Configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"n8n-mcp": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"--init",
"-e", "SQLJS_SAVE_INTERVAL_MS=10000",
"ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest"
]
}
}
}
docker-compose:
environment:
SQLJS_SAVE_INTERVAL_MS: "10000"
