Forest AdminInstall

Summary

Retrieve and validate the form for a Forest Admin action on a selected collection. Choose the collection and action, then supply form values and record IDs; use an empty recordIds array for a global action. Call this before executing the action.

Inputs

• Authentication (required) — Choose Bearer Auth or MCP OAuth2 and configure the corresponding Forest MCP credentials, including the server URL.
• Collection (required) — Select a collection from the list or enter its ID.
• Action (required) — Select an action for the chosen collection or enter its ID.
• Input Mode (required) — Choose Manual to map parameters or JSON to provide them as an object.
• Parameters / JSON (required) — Provide recordIds as an array of record IDs (use [] for a global action) and optionally values as an object of form field values.
• Timeout — Set the tool-call timeout in milliseconds; the default is 60000.
• Convert to Binary — Convert image and audio content in the response to binary data; enabled by default. Disable it to receive that content as base64 strings.

Output shape

One n8n item per input item, containing the MCP tool response content and, when enabled, binary image or audio data.

Text content is parsed as JSON when possible and otherwise remains text. Image/audio content converted to binary is stored under data_0, data_1, and so on; if no content remains for the JSON content field, that field is omitted. With Continue On Fail enabled, errors are returned in an item’s error.message.
