Vibe n8n! Use n8n mcp server and Claude as mcp client

Built with n8n
1

I’ve been experimenting with this for a while, and it’s finally ready to share.

Claude Desktop (Pro) + MCP = Vibe n8n

How to set it up

  1. Create the MCP server that can create workflows in your n8n.
  2. In Claude Desktop, start a new project and upload the workflow templates you want Claude to learn from.
  3. Add a clear and customized instruction.

That’s it. Everything is ready.

How it works

Just describe your idea to Claude. It will:

  1. double-check that it understands your concept
  2. ask for any needed details (credentials, which calendar or Notion workspace, etc.)
  3. generate the workflow, then push it straight to n8n—no copy-and-paste required.

Because Claude is referencing your proven templates, the generated flow is usually 80-90 % complete right out of the gate. A quick tweak in n8n and you’re good to go.

What’s next

MCP already supports create; the next step is adding read and update.

Claude will be able to pull existing workflows, discuss improvements with you, and push updates back. Turning n8n automation into a truly conversational experience.

Here is the demo video about how it work:

Hello friend @darrell_tw,

Is the file missing something, or is it just a demo?

Also, the sub-workflow seems to be missing…

That is truly great. Thank you, @darrell_tw :folded_hands: Can it also help with reading and modifying existing workflows?

yeah sure.
extend the ability of the mcp server with n8n API to get or search and update.
Then you can modify the existing one.
