Summary

Create a directory under the KeyValue storage root for later use with records. The operation creates the directory recursively and returns its name with a created: true flag; it errors if that directory already exists.

Inputs

  • Directory Name (required) — Name of the directory to create under the configured KeyValue storage root, which defaults to ~/.n8n-keyvalue.

Output shape

One item per input item, with JSON containing directory and created: true.

The storage root can be changed with the N8N_KEYVALUE_DIR environment variable. An existing directory causes an error.
