Choose Your Way
Two Ways to Run n8n-MCP
The zero-setup hosted service, or the open-source server on your own machine. Same tools for your AI — pick the way that fits.
Hosted
The managed n8n-MCP service. One-click OAuth from claude.ai, ChatGPT, and your IDE, node documentation synced with every n8n release, n8n's native MCP features, and multiple n8n instances from a single account — no server to run.
Sign up
Create a free account on the dashboard
Connect
One-click OAuth for your AI tool, then your n8n API key — plus the instance-level MCP token for native features
Build & run
Your AI tool can now create, test, and manage n8n workflows
What your AI gets
Self-Hosted
The open-source MIT server, running on your machine. The same toolkit as hosted, on your infrastructure — including n8n instances the hosted service can't reach.
# Quick start
npx n8n-mcp
# Or with Docker
docker run -i ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp
# Optional: n8n's native MCP (n8n 2.34+)
N8N_MCP_ACCESS_TOKEN=...
- Works with localhost n8n instances
- No quotas, no account needed
- MIT licensed, free forever
- Your infrastructure, your data
The EvolutionFrom FrustrationtoFlow
Direct Deployment
AI creates workflows directly in your n8n instance. No copy-paste, no import errors. Just working automation.
Live Workflow Access
AI reads your existing workflows, understands the context, and makes targeted improvements. No screenshots needed.
Real Values, Current Schemas
Through n8n's native MCP, AI resolves live dropdowns with your real credentials before it fills a field — on node docs synced within 48h of each n8n release.
Smart Self-Correction
Validation tools give AI real feedback. It catches its own mistakes and fixes them before you even notice.
Keep It Running
Workflows Break. Your AI Can Fix Them.
n8n-mcp doesn't ship an agent — it's the connector that gives the AI you already use the hands for production work: honest validation, testing, real execution logs, surgical edits, and version history with rollback. Where the Public API stops, n8n-mcp talks to n8n's native MCP server: pinned-data test runs, native version history, live dropdowns, n8n Agents. The intelligence is yours; the tools are ours.
An agent loop is only as good as its stop signal. n8n-mcp fails loudly on unknown nodes, invalid versions, and missing required fields — so when your AI says "valid", it means it.
Private by design
Your workflows, executions, and credentials stay in your n8n instance — the AI reads only what you connect. Where the platform learns from usage, it stores workflow patterns, not your data, and every contribution is screened by self-hosted AI models before ingestion — nothing is sent to external services.

For me this is such a HUGE enabler, allowing someone like me coming from the operations side of things, to build workflows based on actual processes and doing my own POCs, without having to involve other figures at early stages.

Then I found n8n-mcp and azure-mcp… and solved everything in 10 minutes. This is a game changer for so many people.

your n8n-mcp was the primary reason I could start building with n8n and gradually become a power user :)

From a new user of the n8n-mcp.com platform - has been super useful so far, lots to learn and understand but definitely a time saver when configuring workflows!

Love it! Especially because it makes it way easier to maintain complex automations compared to ones created using other AI agents

It saves me a ton of time every week.

I recently started following your work and I’m one of the people using it to build workflows, it’s honestly improved the development time massively. … the tool amplifies your thinking rather than replacing it.

I built a similar flow in n8n for a lead magnet of mine too and 100% was thanks to the n8n MCP so thank you

after my initial problems using this MCP I tried it again recently with more intelligent models and was very pleased with the results. … Helped a client migrate some pretty complex flows from Relay.app and it worked very well with both Opus 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol.

What a great feature. I use n8n MCP every day. Thank you.

Thank you for your work. It's my most used MCP. No more control C, control V!

Thanks for a great piece of code, use it every day in my flow!

I just created my n8n agent in VS Code, then installed your n8n skills and n8n MCP. Oh my god, it was amazing! Thank you!

I’ve been using n8n-mcp for a few months now, and I really appreciate how much it streamlines my work.

Romuald, I use it since about 10 month and it’s still one of the best solution you have build so far. Thank you 🙏 for your efforts.

Truly amazing work! I’ve been using n8n-mcp and it works great; very excited to try out skills!

I need to let you know that I'm still getting better results with your MCP than the newly integrated N8N chat!! Amazing!

I have tied in the n8n-MCP from my docker instance to my perplexity pro app. … Works amazingly well!

I tested the n8n-mcp + n8n-skills integration using Claude code with your repo and it performed very well at creating n8n workflows using Claude code as the AI engine of this system.

still crazy I'm only one out of 3100 guys using your tool actively everyday. :D

One of the best MCPs out there, and coupled with n8n Skills it’s unbeatable.

After testing your n8n MCP, I was honestly blown away by the idea of automating… automation itself.

Superb package by the way and still my goto one for any n8n effort.

I can't describe the feeling of first connecting Claude Code to n8n...let's just say I let out the type of laugh you see in movies from super villains. Cheers for that.

FWIW, your work has helped us at n8n quite a lot.

I have to thank you! Great to have people like you with us who drive that much impact.

Thank you for your continued work providing such an essential and valuable agentic tool to the n8n community.

Thank you for that, I use it daily!
