Searches reveal what agents do not know by heart: new nodes and application integrations. General-purpose nodes such as Code or IF are almost never searched although they appear in most workflows; messengers and spreadsheets are searched often while ending up in a small share of workflows. The ranking counts unique installs per week with a floor of three installs per query.
History
One row per weekly issue. The table grows with every update.

On 27 September 2026 I moved n8n-mcp telemetry to new infrastructure. Versions older than 2.90.0 stopped reporting that day, so figures from before and after it come from different sets of installs. I don't compare one with the other.
