Documentation

n8n-nodes-guidedmind

A native n8n community node for GuidedMind — the no-code Context Platform. Query your knowledge base, ingest documents, and manage agent memory directly from n8n workflows.

What it does

One node, GuidedMind, with three resources:

Resource Operations
Knowledge Base (RAG) Search
Document Upload · Upload and Process
Memory Add Short Messages · Get Short Messages · Store Long Memory · Search Long Memory

The node can also be used as a tool by the AI Agent node — enabling AI agents to search your knowledge base or query memory without extra configuration.

Install

Via n8n Community Nodes panel (recommended)

  1. In n8n, go to Settings → Community Nodes → Install
  2. Search for n8n-nodes-guidedmind
  3. Click Install and restart n8n if prompted

Manual install (self-hosted)

# In your n8n custom nodes directory (e.g. ~/.n8n/custom)
npm install n8n-nodes-guidedmind

Then restart n8n. To enable AI Agent tool usage, set:

N8N_COMMUNITY_PACKAGES_ALLOW_TOOL_USAGE=true

Configure credentials

GuidedMind uses two separate API keys:

Credential Header Key prefix Used by
GuidedMind RAG API X-API-Key rk_ RAG + Document
GuidedMind Memory API X-Memory-Api-Key mk_ Memory
  1. In n8n, go to Settings → Credentials
  2. Create a GuidedMind RAG API credential with your rk_ key
  3. Create a GuidedMind Memory API credential with your mk_ key
  4. Both credentials let you override the Base URL for self-hosted or staging instances (default: https://api.guidedmind.ai)

Use in workflows

Add the GuidedMind node to your workflow, select a resource (Knowledge Base, Document, or Memory), choose an operation, and attach the corresponding credential.

For AI Agent workflows, the node is marked usableAsTool: true — simply add it as a tool on your AI Agent node and it will automatically call Search or Search Long Memory when relevant.


For developers

Click to expand build & publish instructions

Build & test locally

Requires Node.js >= 20.15.

git clone https://github.com/guidedmind-ai/n8n-nodes-guidedmind.git
cd n8n-nodes-guidedmind
npm install
npm run build   # tsc + copies SVG icon into dist/
npm run lint    # must pass for verification

To run inside a live n8n while developing:

npm run dev     # tsc --watch

Publish to npm

Publishing is done via GitHub Actions with npm provenance (required for n8n verified nodes from May 2026):

  1. Configure a Trusted Publisher on npm (GitHub Actions → guidedmind-ai/n8n-nodes-guidedmind → publish.yml)
  2. Run npm run release — this bumps the version, tags, and pushes
  3. The v* tag triggers .github/workflows/publish.yml, which builds, lints, and publishes with provenance

Submit for verification

  1. Confirm npm run lint passes and the package follows the verified-node guidelines
  2. Publish via the provenance workflow above
  3. Sign in to the n8n Creator Portal and submit n8n-nodes-guidedmind for review
