n8n MCP

n8n MCP is a platform designed to connect AI tools to workflow automation within the n8n ecosystem. It enables users to build, validate, deploy, test, and debug n8n workflows using AI agents, integrating with services such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and over 20 additional AI tools. The platform addresses the need for seamless automation by allowing AI agents to directly create and improve workflows in n8n instances, eliminating manual steps like copy-pasting or dealing with import errors.

The tool offers features including direct deployment of workflows to n8n, live access for AI to read and enhance existing workflows, validation and autofix capabilities, execution debugging, versioning with rollback, and access to over 2,000 n8n nodes and 2,700 workflow templates. Documentation for nodes and parameters is kept current within 48 hours of new n8n releases. The platform also emphasizes privacy, ensuring that workflows, executions, and credentials remain within the user's n8n instance, with only workflow patterns (not data) used for platform learning. Contributions are screened by self-hosted AI models, and nothing is sent to external services.

n8n MCP is available as both a zero-setup hosted service and an open-source, self-hosted MIT-licensed server. The hosted version offers managed services, one-click OAuth integration with supported AI tools, and the ability to manage multiple n8n instances from a single account. The self-hosted option can run on a user's own infrastructure, including localhost n8n instances, with no quotas or account required. Both versions provide the same toolkit for workflow automation with AI.

The platform features a free tier, allowing up to 100 tool calls and five AI chat agent prompts per day, suitable for personal projects and trying out the service. A paid Supporter plan is available for a monthly fee, offering unlimited tool calls, increased AI chat prompts, priority support, and early access to new features. n8n MCP is open source and supported by an active community, making it accessible for a wide range of users seeking to automate workflows with AI integration.
