What is jam-nodes?

jam-nodes is a modular framework for building automation workflows in TypeScript. It provides typed node definitions with Zod schema validation, a registry for managing nodes, an execution context with variable interpolation, and a playground for testing nodes.

Architecture

@jam-nodes/core       → Types, NodeRegistry, ExecutionContext, defineNode utility
@jam-nodes/nodes      → Built-in node definitions (logic, transform, AI, integrations)
@jam-nodes/playground → CLI tool for testing nodes interactively
core is dependency-free (except Zod + jsonpath-plus). nodes depends on core. playground provides a CLI and web interface for testing.

Quick Start

Install packages, create a registry, and run your first node in minutes.

Core API

Types, registry, execution context, and utility functions.

Built-in Nodes

16 ready-to-use nodes for logic, transforms, integrations, and AI.

Playground

Test nodes interactively with the CLI or web playground.

Create Custom Nodes

Build your own nodes with Zod schemas and register them with the editor.

MCP Integration

Connect AI agents to jam-nodes documentation via MCP servers.

Key Features

  • Type-safe — Zod schemas for all inputs and outputs with full TypeScript inference
  • Extensible — Create custom nodes with defineNode and register them
  • Playground — CLI and web interface for testing nodes interactively
  • Variable interpolation{{variable}} syntax with JSONPath and nested path resolution
  • Credentials injection — Nodes receive API credentials via context and make direct HTTP calls
  • Approval workflows — Built-in support for human-in-the-loop approval
  • Notifications — Nodes can emit notifications through configurable channels
