n8n-mcp

n8n-mcp is an MCP server that lets Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf build n8n workflows for you. Instead of dragging nodes around a canvas and guessing at field names, you describe the automation you want and the agent wires up the actual nodes, credentials references, and connections.

Why it matters

• The MCP exposes n8n’s full node catalog to the model, so it picks real nodes with real parameters instead of hallucinating a plausible-looking config.
• Works across the major agent clients — no lock-in to one editor.
• Pairs naturally with self-hosted n8n, so the automation and your data both stay on infrastructure you control.
• Great for the long tail of internal glue work: notifications, syncs, scheduled scrapes, webhook fan-out.

Good for

Builders who already run n8n and want to stop hand-assembling workflows, and for anyone who has an automation idea but not the patience to learn a node catalog first. Setup is a standard MCP server entry in your client config.
