Summary

Official instance-level MCP server that lets AI agents discover, run, and edit workflows on your n8n instance.

Features

Search and discover workflows exposed to MCP
Trigger and test workflows conversationally
Create and edit workflows and data tables
OAuth2 or personal access token auth
Works with Cloud and self-hosted n8n instances

Installation

Set up this MCP server in your favorite AI agent — copy a ready-made configuration below.

Any MCP-compatible agent

Most agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more) read a standard mcpServers configuration.

Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
Merge the snippet below into it.
Restart the agent — the "n8n MCP Server" tools will be available.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "n8n-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "supergateway",
        "--streamableHttp",
        "https://<your-n8n-domain>/mcp-server/http",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:Bearer <YOUR_N8N_MCP_TOKEN>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add the server with a single CLI command.

claude mcp add n8n-mcp-server -- npx -y supergateway --streamableHttp https://<your-n8n-domain>/mcp-server/http --header Authorization:Bearer <YOUR_N8N_MCP_TOKEN>

Claude Desktop

Add the server to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "n8n-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "supergateway",
        "--streamableHttp",
        "https://<your-n8n-domain>/mcp-server/http",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:Bearer <YOUR_N8N_MCP_TOKEN>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

{
  "command": "claude",
  "args": [
    "mcp",
    "add",
    "--transport",
    "http",
    "n8n-mcp",
    "https://<your-n8n-domain>/mcp-server/http",
    "--header",
    "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_N8N_MCP_TOKEN>"
  ]
}

Description

n8n's built-in instance-level MCP server exposes your own n8n Cloud or self-hosted instance to MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Cursor. Once enabled by an instance owner or admin, agents can search workflows, trigger and test workflows that have been marked available for MCP, and create or edit workflows and data tables through natural language, instead of hand-building JSON. Connections use either OAuth2 or a rotatable personal access token.
