Overview

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides seamless integration with the n8n API. Manage your n8n workflows, executions, and credentials through natural language using Claude AI.

This project provides a comprehensive solution for integrating with n8n through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling seamless automation and management capabilities.

Key Features

  • Full API Integration: Complete coverage of the n8n API
  • Model Context Protocol: Built on the MCP standard for AI assistant integration
  • Easy Configuration: Simple setup with environment variables
  • Type-Safe: Comprehensive type definitions for all API operations
  • Error Handling: Robust error handling and validation

Use Cases

This server enables various use cases including:

  1. Automated Management: Streamline routine operations and reduce manual work
  2. AI-Powered Operations: Let Claude AI assist with complex tasks
  3. Integration Workflows: Connect with other tools and services
  4. Monitoring & Alerts: Track status and receive notifications

Technical Architecture

Built with modern Python and following MCP best practices, this server provides a reliable bridge between AI assistants and the n8n platform.

Core Components
