What the publisher says
From the n8n Pro MCP repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
n8n Pro MCP ⚙️
Full-instance management for self-hosted n8n — including queue mode — through the Model Context Protocol. 51 tools covering workflows, executions, tags, credentials, variables, projects, users, security audit, source control and health monitoring.
n8n-pro-mcp connects Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor or any MCP client to your n8n instance via the official n8n public API v1, with automatic cursor pagination, exponential-backoff retry on reads (writes and webhook calls are never retried, so side effects can't duplicate), and offline workflow validation that catches the classic n8n mistakes (malformed {{ }} expressions, webhook data accessed without .body, Code nodes missing return [{json: {...}}]) before they reach your instance.
Why this one?
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
