Built with n8n
1

Hey n8n community! :waving_hand:

I’m excited to share mcp-n8n - a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets you control your entire n8n infrastructure using AI conversations in Claude Desktop and Cursor.

Just Added to Anthropic’s Official MCP Registry!

mcp-n8n is now officially listed in the Anthropic MCP Servers Registry,
making it easy for anyone to discover and use.

What Can You Do?

Control n8n through natural language:

Creating Workflows:

  • “Create a workflow that monitors my Gmail and sends Slack notifications”
  • “Build a daily report workflow with database data and email distribution”

Using Templates:

  • Access pre-built workflow templates across 13 categories
  • AI automatically selects the best template for your use case

Managing & Monitoring:

  • “Show me all failed executions from the last 24 hours”
  • “Deactivate the backup workflow”
  • “Retry all failed executions”

:hammer_and_wrench: Features

  • 41 tools for complete n8n management
  • Workflow lifecycle: Create, read, update, delete, activate/deactivate
  • Execution monitoring: Real-time tracking, retry failed runs
  • Credential management: Secure credential operations
  • 100+ templates: E-commerce, Social Media, AI/Chat, Communication, etc.
  • Organization tools: Tags, variables, projects, users

:package: Installation

npm install -g mcp-n8n

Then configure in Claude Desktop or Cursor with your n8n API key.

💡 Why This Matters

If you're using Claude Desktop or Cursor for development, you can now manage your n8n workflows without switching contexts.
Ask your AI assistant to create, monitor, and debug workflows - all through conversation.

Didn’t tried yet the n8n official workflow ai builder to “feel” it… but in weekend I will give a shot to this.

Great job!
