n8n MCP

Gives an agent the n8n node schema — hundreds of nodes with their real fields — so it can build and debug workflows instead of inventing parameters.

What it does

Gives an agent the n8n node schema — hundreds of nodes with their real fields — so it can build and debug workflows instead of inventing parameters. The documentation inside the package is the product. Write operations need an n8n instance and API key; read-only inspection works without one.

Install

Terminal
npx n8n-mcp

Client configuration

Paste this into your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any client that reads mcpServers), then restart the client.

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "n8n-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "n8n-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

When to use it

Reach for this when the task needs automation inside the agent loop. Skip it if a plain shell command or a one-off script is enough — every server you add costs context and adds a failure mode.

Other TypeScript servers

  • Filesystem — Gives an agent scoped read, write, and search access to directories you explicitly allow
  • Memory — A persistent knowledge graph stored in a local JSON file, exposed through entities, relations, and observations
  • Sequential Thinking — Gives the model a scratchpad for structured, revisable reasoning: numbered thoughts that can branch, revise, and conclude
