Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

MCP Client nodes for n8n with custom headers support

Readme

n8n-nodes-mcp-client-custom

Custom MCP Client nodes for n8n with Custom Headers support.

These are enhanced versions of the built-in n8n MCP Client nodes, adding the ability to pass arbitrary key-value pairs as HTTP headers on every request to the MCP server.

Nodes

  • MCP Client (Custom) — standalone node to call a specific MCP tool
  • MCP Client Tool (Custom) — sub-node that connects all MCP tools to an AI Agent

Installation

In n8n, go to Settings → Community nodes → Install and enter:

n8n-nodes-mcp-client-custom

What's different from the built-in nodes

Both nodes have an additional Custom Headers field that lets you add any number of HTTP headers sent with every request to the MCP server.

This is useful when your MCP server requires custom authentication or metadata headers that are not covered by the standard Bearer / Header Auth options.

Usage

  1. Add the MCP Client (Custom) or MCP Client Tool (Custom) node to your workflow
  2. Set the MCP server endpoint URL and transport
  3. Optionally configure authentication
  4. Under Custom Headers, click Add Header and enter the header name and value
  5. Select the tool to call (or connect to an AI Agent)
