About n8n
n8n MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that gives AI assistants deep access to n8n's workflow automation ecosystem. It provides documentation for 1,396 nodes (812 core + 584 community), 2,709 workflow templates, and the ability to create, edit, execute, and manage n8n workflows through natural language.
The server works in two modes. Documentation mode provides node lookup, property discovery, template search, and configuration examples extracted from 2,646 popular templates — no n8n instance required. With n8n API credentials, it unlocks workflow management: creating workflows from natural language descriptions, editing existing configurations, executing workflows, and validating node properties before deployment. Every node configuration and connection is validated before returning results.
Deployment options include a hosted service at dashboard.n8n-mcp.com, npx command-line execution, Docker, local Node.js installation, and Railway cloud deployment. The server covers 265 AI-capable tool variants with 99% node property coverage and 87% documentation coverage from official n8n sources. It works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP clients, making it practical for teams that want to build and manage automations conversationally without manual JSON editing.
