PURPOSE

What you can do with n8n-MCP

n8n-MCP gives an AI assistant the documentation, properties, operations and templates of n8n's nodes, and optionally a live n8n instance, so it can design, validate and deploy workflows that actually run.

Suitable tasks
  • Search nodes and read their properties and examples
  • Find and adapt workflow templates before building
  • Validate node configurations and whole workflows
  • Create, update and test workflows on a live instance
  • Inspect executions and audit instance security
CAPABILITIES AND LIMITATIONS

What n8n-MCP can and cannot do

Capabilities

Seven core tools work offline against a database of 2,951 nodes and 2,352 templates; 21 management tools (n8n_* prefix) need an n8n API URL and key to create, update, version, test and execute workflows, manage credentials, folders and data tables, and audit the instance.

Documented tools (21 of 28)
  • tools_documentation
  • search_nodes
  • get_node
  • validate_node
  • validate_workflow
  • search_templates
  • get_template
  • n8n_create_workflow
  • n8n_get_workflow
  • n8n_update_full_workflow
  • n8n_update_partial_workflow
  • n8n_delete_workflow
  • n8n_list_workflows
  • n8n_validate_workflow
  • n8n_autofix_workflow
  • n8n_workflow_versions
  • n8n_deploy_template
  • n8n_test_workflow
  • n8n_executions
  • n8n_audit_instance
  • n8n_health_check
Limitations
  • Node operation coverage is 66.5% and example availability varies by node popularity
  • Management tools are absent without N8N_API_URL and N8N_API_KEY; some features also need a separate N8N_MCP_ACCESS_TOKEN
  • Templates may be outdated and must be validated before deployment
  • The README warns never to edit production workflows directly with AI
  • Read-only deployment relies on DISABLED_TOOLS / DISABLED_TOOL_OPERATIONS, which is easy to misconfigure
REQUIREMENTS

What you need before using n8n-MCP

DeclaredNo credentialsNo credentials declared

The registry listing declares no required environment variables or authentication. This is declared metadata, not a verified install — the repository README is the authority.

Declared by Glama, last synced Oct 16, 2026. Not independently verified by MCP Toplist.

Runtime
npx, Docker, Railway or local install for self-hosting; or the hosted service at dashboard.n8n-mcp.com
Credentials
n8n API URL and API key for management tools; optional N8N_MCP_ACCESS_TOKEN for node resources, agents, native history and some test methods
Payment
Hosted dashboard has a free tier of 100 tool calls per day; self-hosting is free
INSTALLATION AND FIRST TASK

Connect n8n-MCP and confirm it works

  1. Hosted: sign up at dashboard.n8n-mcp.com, get an API key and connect your MCP client
  2. Self-hosted: follow docs/SELF_HOSTING.md for npx, Docker, Railway or local install
  3. Set N8N_API_URL and N8N_API_KEY to unlock the 21 management tools
  4. Optionally add the n8n-skills package and the Claude Project system prompt

Install configuration unavailable. No registry publishes a machine-readable install config for this server — follow the repository README.

First successful task

Ask the agent to call tools_documentation(), then build a workflow that posts a webhook payload to Slack.

Expected: The agent searches templates, checks the nodes with get_node and validate_node, and returns a workflow summary such as "Webhook trigger → Slack notification" with validation passed.
