n8n MCP

n8n's built-in instance-level MCP server, available on n8n Cloud and self-hosted installs. Agents can search, run and build workflows on your n8n instance and manage the agents it exposes. An owner or admin enables it in settings, and clients connect with OAuth or an API key. The exact URL is shown in the instance's Connect a client dialog.

Connect

MCP endpoint: https://{your-n8n-domain}/mcp-server/http

This endpoint is a template: replace {your-n8n-domain} with your own values before connecting.

Add it to any MCP client that supports remote servers (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf):

{
  "mcpServers": {  
    "n8n": {  
      "url": "https://{your-n8n-domain}/mcp-server/http"  
    }  
  }  
}
