A Model Context Protocol server that gives AI clients (Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Lovable) structured access to n8n’s node catalogue, workflow templates, and live instance. Built by a community developer, the MCP server documents 1100+ n8n nodes with roughly 99% property accuracy, indexes 2700+ workflow templates, and wraps the n8n /api/v1 for creating, reading, updating, and managing workflows programmatically.
Key facts
- Coverage: 1100+ nodes with ~99% property accuracy (parameters, options)
- Indexes 2700+ n8n workflow templates for pattern reuse
- Enables create/update/activate/manage operations on the connected n8n instance
- Installed by pointing Claude Code at the GitHub repo and providing an n8n API key and base URL
- Distinct from n8n’s own instance-level MCP (which exposes search/get/execute of workflows, not the node catalogue)
