n8n MCP
17K stars. 'Instead of guessing I could ask get_node() and get exactly what I needed' — real user feedback.
MCP server giving AI assistants structured access to n8n's workflow automation nodes — 2,063 nodes (816 core + 1,247 community) with 99% property coverage, 87% documentation coverage, and 2,352 workflow templates with ranked real-world example configurations. Smart node search and configuration validation eliminate guesswork. Docs-only mode needs no credentials; add an n8n API key to manage a live instance, or use the hosted dashboard.n8n-mcp.com (free tier: 100 tool calls/day).
- Configure workflow automation nodes correctly the first time
- Search five hundred plus node types with smart matching
- Validate node configurations using real-world template examples
17K stars. 'Instead of guessing I could ask get_node() and get exactly what I needed' — real user feedback. Covers node knowledge but does not deploy or manage live n8n instances.
Teams using n8n for workflow automation who want Claude to help configure nodes correctly.

2026-04-02: LIMITATION: Single-maintainer project. Covers node knowledge but does NOT deploy or manage live n8n instances — use the n8n-manager companion repo for that.
2026-03-29: IMPORTANT: Includes n8n_delete_workflow and n8n_execute_workflow — advise clients to use staging environments only, or scope n8n API key to prevent destructive operations.
Things to check
- Coverage is 99% properties and 87% docs, so some nodes or edge-case parameters may lack examples. The author's own safety warning: never edit production workflows directly with AI — copy the workflow, test in a development environment, and export backups first.
