Install & config
Client config (built from the install command this repo gives)
{
"mcpServers": {
"makafeli-n8n-workflow-builder": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@makafeli/n8n-workflow-builder"]
}
}
}Parsed from the README we fetched on 2026-11-05; we have not executed it.
command/args come from the install command the repository states. When it is ambiguous, the project README wins.
VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json - the key is servers)
{
"servers": {
"makafeli-n8n-workflow-builder": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@makafeli/n8n-workflow-builder"]
}
}
}Same server, but VS Code keeps it under <code>servers</code>.
Claude Code (command line)
claude mcp add --transport stdio makafeli-n8n-workflow-builder -- npx @makafeli/n8n-workflow-builder
Claude Code does not read a config file; add the server with this command.
