The node supports streaming, native tool calling, and works with both Manifest Cloud and self-hosted deployments, requiring an n8n version that includes @n8n/ai-node-sdk.", "body_md": "# Manifest is now available as an n8n community node\n\nManifest now has a native n8n community node. The package is available on npm as\n[ n8n-nodes-manifest](https://www.npmjs.com/package/n8n-nodes-manifest) and ships two nodes: a\n\n**Manifest Chat Model** sub-node that plugs Manifest into n8n AI Agents, and a\n\n**Manifest** action node that calls the API directly from a workflow, without configuring a generic HTTP Request node.\n\n**Now live on n8n:** n8n has reviewed and published the node as a verified community node, so it installs from\n\n**Settings > Community Nodes** on n8n Cloud and on self-hosted n8n alike.\n\n## Use Manifest as the model behind an n8n AI Agent\n\nThe Manifest Chat Model is a language-model sub-node built on n8n’s\n[ @n8n/ai-node-sdk](https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/tree/master/packages/%40n8n/ai-node-sdk).\nConnect it to the\n\n**AI Agent** or\n\n**Basic LLM Chain** node the same way you would connect the\n\n[OpenAI](/providers/openai/)Chat Model, and Manifest sits between the agent and the providers:\n\n- The model list is loaded from your Manifest instance; the default\n`auto`\n\nlets Manifest route every request. - Streaming and native tool calling are supported, so AI Agent tools work as expected.\n- An optional setting switches the sub-node to the OpenAI Responses API.\n\nThe sub-node requires an n8n version that ships `@n8n/ai-node-sdk`\n\n(2026 releases).\n\n## Call Manifest directly from a workflow\n\nThe Manifest action node covers workflows that call the API without an AI Agent. It includes three operations:\n\n**Create Chat Completion** for OpenAI-compatible chat requests**Create Response** for OpenAI-compatible Responses API requests**List Models** to inspect the models available to a Manifest agent key\n\nBoth nodes work with [Manifest Cloud](https://app.manifest.build) and self-hosted Manifest\ndeployments.\n\n## Install the Manifest node in n8n\n\nIn n8n, on Cloud or self-hosted:\n\n- Open\n**Settings > Community Nodes**. - Select\n**Install**. - Enter\n`n8n-nodes-manifest`\n\n. - Confirm the community-node warning and install the package.\n\nThese steps follow n8n’s\n[community-node installation guide](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/community-nodes/installation-and-management/).\n\n## Connect n8n to Manifest\n\nBoth nodes share one **Manifest API** credential:\n\n**Base URL:**`https://app.manifest.build`\n\nfor Manifest Cloud, or the root URL of your self-hosted deployment**API Key:** the agent API key shown in Manifest\n\nThe Base URL must not end in `/v1`\n\n; the nodes add the API path for each operation. If n8n runs in\na container, a self-hosted Manifest URL must be reachable from that container.\n\nSet **Model** to `auto`\n\nto use the routing configured for the Manifest agent. For a first test,\nchoose **Create Chat Completion** on the action node and use:\n\n```\n[\n  {\n    \"role\": \"user\",\n    \"content\": \"Reply with one sentence confirming that Manifest is connected.\"\n  }\n]\n```\n\nThen execute the node. The selected Manifest route handles the request and the node returns the response as n8n workflow data.\n\n## Routing owns the response mode\n\nManifest routing determines whether a route returns buffered JSON or a streamed response. You do\nnot need to add `stream`\n\nto **Additional Body** on the action node. For streamed routes, the node\nexposes the parsed server-sent events after the n8n step completes. The Chat Model sub-node\nstreams natively into the AI Agent.\n\nThe node source lives in the\n[Manifest repository](https://github.com/mnfst/manifest/tree/main/integrations/n8n-nodes-manifest).\nSee the [n8n setup page](/agents/n8n/) for the credential values and package links in one place.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/manifest-is-now-available-as-an-n8n-community-node", "canonical_source": "https://manifest.build/blog/manifest-n8n-community-node/", "published_at": "2026-09-04 00:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-04 09:53:38.963585+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Manifest", "n8n", "n8n-nodes-manifest", "@n8n/ai-node-sdk"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/manifest-is-now-available-as-an-n8n-community-node", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/manifest-is-now-available-as-an-n8n-community-node.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/manifest-is-now-available-as-an-n8n-community-node.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/manifest-is-now-available-as-an-n8n-community-node.jsonld"}}
