What is MCP? How to Use It in n8n (Full Guide + Live Demo)

MCP is the next big thing in AI—and here’s why.

Think of it as the universal remote for AI agents. Instead of building separate integrations for every tool, Model Context Protocol (MCP) gives your AI one standard way to connect with databases, apps, and even your code.

In this video, we break down:

:small_blue_diamond: What MCP is (and why it matters)
:small_blue_diamond: How it solves the context problem in AI
:small_blue_diamond: Why it’s revolutionising how tools like Claude and OpenAI agents take real-world actions
:small_blue_diamond: How to build a working AI flow using MCP inside n8n — step by step

Whether you’re building AI agents or want your tools to actually do stuff, this is for you.

Great video. I’m learning more about MCP, and have a question for you. is MCP a better alternative to RAG agents, or are they mostly the same thing?
