n8n Pro MCP server

This is a helper that connects your AI assistant to your own n8n instance. n8n is the tool people use to build automations that move data between apps. If you run n8n yourself and want to check, fix or tidy things by just asking in plain words, this is for you.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something about your n8n, like which workflows failed today. The AI passes that request to this helper. The helper talks to your n8n instance through n8n's official API, which is the door n8n opens for outside programs. The answer comes back and the AI explains it to you in the chat. If you ask it to change something, like turning a workflow on or off, the helper does that too.

What you can do with it

• List your workflows and filter them by name, tag, project or whether they are active
• Check which executions are running right now, useful on busy queue setups
• Summarize a failed run down to the failing node and the error message
• Turn workflows on or off, one at a time or in bulk by tag
• Create, update, clone or delete workflows
• Manage tags, variables, projects and users
• Run a health check and a security audit of your instance

Try asking your AI

• “Which of my n8n workflows failed in the last 24 hours?”
• “Show me the error from the most recent failed execution of the invoice workflow”
• “Turn off every workflow tagged old-test”
• “How many executions ran yesterday and what was the average duration?”
• “Run a health check on my n8n instance”

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat: lists of workflows or runs, counts, success rates, average durations, and short error summaries that name the failing node. When you ask for a change, it tells you what it did, like which workflows it turned off. Longer results come back as tidy lists or tables you can read at a glance.

Before you start

Who it's for

People who run their own n8n instance and want to check, fix or tidy it by asking their AI instead of clicking around the n8n screens.
