n8n MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows AI assistants to interact with n8n workflows through natural language.
Overview
This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that empowers AI assistants to seamlessly interact with n8n, a popular workflow automation tool. It acts as a bridge, enabling AI assistants to programmatically manage and control n8n workflows and executions using natural language commands.
Installation
Prerequisites
- Node.js 20 or later
- n8n instance with API access enabled
Install from npm
npm install -g @leonardsellem/n8n-mcp-server
Install from source
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/leonardsellem/n8n-mcp-server.git
cd n8n-mcp-server
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Build the project
npm run build
# Optional: Install globally
npm install -g .
Docker Installation
You can also run the server using Docker:
# Pull the image
docker pull leonardsellem/n8n-mcp-server
# Run the container with your n8n API configuration
docker run -e N8N_API_URL=http://your-n8n:5678/api/v1 \
-e N8N_API_KEY=your_n8n_api_key \
-e N8N_WEBHOOK_USERNAME=username \
-e N8N_WEBHOOK_PASSWORD=password \

Updating the Server
How you update the server depends on how you initially installed it.
1. Installed globally via npm
If you installed the server using npm install -g @leonardsellem/n8n-mcp-server:
- Open your terminal or command prompt.
- Run the following command to get the latest version:
npm install -g @leonardsellem/n8n-mcp-server@latest - If the server is currently running (e.g., as a background process or service), you’ll need to restart it for the changes to take effect.
2. Installed from source
If you cloned the repository and installed from source:
- Open your terminal or command prompt.
- Navigate to the directory where you cloned the project:
cd path/to/n8n-mcp-server - If you’ve made any local changes to the code that you want to keep, consider stashing them (optional):
You can apply them later withgit stashgit stash pop. - Pull the latest changes from the repository (assuming you are on the
mainbranch):
If you are on a different branch, replacegit pull origin mainmainwith your branch name. - Install or update any changed dependencies:
npm install - Rebuild the project to include the latest updates:
npm run build - If you previously installed it globally from this source folder using
npm install -g ., you might want to run this command again to update the global link:npm install -g . - Restart the server.
