n8n Manager MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to n8n, the tool people use to build automations by connecting blocks together. Once it is set up, you can just tell your AI what you want and it will look at, change, or run your workflows for you. It is handy if you already use n8n and would rather type a request than click around the editor.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something about your n8n workflows, like listing them or changing one. The AI sends that request to this helper program running on your computer. The helper talks to your n8n account using its normal web address and your login key. Before it changes or deletes anything, it saves a copy of the workflow first, so you can go back. Then it makes the change and tells the AI what happened, and the AI tells you.

What you can do with it

• List all your n8n workflows
• Create a new workflow from a description
• Edit or rename an existing workflow
• Run a workflow and check the result
• Look at past runs and see what failed
• Save a backup copy before any change
• Switch between your test and live n8n setups

Try asking your AI

• “Show me all my n8n workflows and what they do”
• “Create a new workflow that sends me an email every morning at 8”
• “Run my invoice workflow and tell me if it worked”
• “Why did my last run of the customer sync workflow fail”

What it gives back to you

You get plain answers in the chat: lists of workflows with their names and status, short summaries of what a workflow contains, and results from runs, like whether it succeeded or where it stopped. When it changes something, it tells you what it did and where the backup copy was saved. It can also show you the details of individual steps inside a workflow.

Before you start

Who it's for

People who already use n8n for automations and want to manage their workflows by chatting with an AI instead of clicking through the editor.
