n8n MCP server
Let your agent build n8n workflows that actually work.
n8n-MCP (community, MIT) gives an agent deep, structured knowledge of n8n's 2,000+ workflow nodes — properties, operations, and documentation — so it can design and build n8n automations that actually validate, instead of hallucinating node configs. Point it at your n8n instance (API key) and it can manage real workflows too. Self-hosted, no quotas, no account.
Who it’s for: n8n users who want an agent that builds and edits workflows correctly — grounded in the real node schemas.
