About n8n MCP

The n8n MCP server exposes your n8n workflows as callable tools for AI agents, enabling agents to trigger multi-step automations — from lead qualification and enrichment to email sending, CRM updates, and data processing — without writing code. n8n natively supports MCP as both a server (expose workflows to agents) and client (use MCP tools inside n8n nodes), making it the most powerful workflow orchestration bridge for AI agents.

n8n MCP is a APIs & Data MCP server designed for engineers and ops teams. It enables connecting AI assistants to third-party APIs and data feeds by wrapping HTTP endpoints with auth and schema as MCP tools. Key capabilities include auth helpers for common providers, pagination and rate-limit handling, endpoint allow-lists, and structured tool calls that work cleanly inside an LLM context. It integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, Mixpanel, Stripe, and most REST/GraphQL APIs, and is best suited for engineers and ops teams who need internal admin apis.
