n8n MCP
Structured access to 541 n8n nodes with 99% property coverage and 87% doc coverage. Smart node search, config validation, real-world examples from 2,646 templates. 17K+ stars. Users report it eliminated guesswork in node configuration.
- 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.

Reviewer notes
Source Reviewed review. These are observations, not a security certification.
16.8K stars, 2,846 forks, 3,336 passing tests, renovate.json for dependency updates, daily active commits, v2.41.3. Hosted service enables zero-infrastructure trials. Critical: includes n8n_delete_workflow, n8n_update_full_workflow, n8n_execute_workflow. README explicitly warns against using AI on production workflows.
Write/delete access to production automation workflows is the primary risk — no least-privilege enforcement in the MCP layer. Individual maintainer, not an org. 16 runtime deps including express, n8n-core, supabase-js; mitigated by renovate. Hosted service introduces third-party data pathway — self-hosted preferred for enterprise. RESTRICTED: Includes n8n_delete_workflow and n8n_execute_workflow capabilities. Requires compensating controls (sandboxing, separate accounts, restricted profiles) before team deployment.
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.
