Install & config
Client config (built from the install command this repo gives)
{
"mcpServers": {
"salacoste-mcp-n8n-workflow-builder": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@kernel.salacoste/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": {
"salacoste-mcp-n8n-workflow-builder": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@kernel.salacoste/n8n-workflow-builder"]
}
}
}Same server, but VS Code keeps it under <code>servers</code>.
Claude Code (command line)
claude mcp add --transport stdio salacoste-mcp-n8n-workflow-builder -- npx @kernel.salacoste/n8n-workflow-builder
Claude Code does not read a config file; add the server with this command.

### AI-Powered Workflow Automation Through Natural Language
Build, manage, and monitor n8n workflows using Claude AI and Cursor IDE via the Model Context Protocol
Features • Quick Start • Documentation • Examples • API Reference
## 🎯 What is This?
n8n Workflow Builder MCP Server transforms workflow automation by enabling you to create and manage n8n workflows through conversational AI. No more manual JSON editing or complex UI navigation—just describe what you need in natural language, and let AI build it for you.
### The Problem It Solves
❌ Manual workflow building is time-consuming and error-prone
❌ Complex JSON editing requires deep technical knowledge
❌ Switching between IDE and n8n UI breaks your development flow
❌ Managing multiple n8n environments (dev, staging, prod) is tedious
### The Solution
✅ Build workflows conversationally using Claude AI or Cursor IDE
✅ Natural language interface - describe workflows in plain English
✅ Multi-instance support - manage dev, staging, and production from one place
✅ 17 powerful tools - complete workflow lifecycle management
✅ Stay in your IDE - no context switching required
## ✨ Key Features
### 🤖 AI-Powered Workflow Creation
Create complex n8n workflows by simply describing what you need. Claude AI and Cursor IDE understand your intent and generate production-ready workflows.
### 🌍 Multi-Instance Management
Seamlessly manage multiple n8n environments (production, staging, development) from a single MCP server with intelligent instance routing.
### 🛠️ 17 Comprehensive Tools
Complete workflow lifecycle coverage:
8 Workflow Tools - Create, update, delete, activate, execute
4 Execution Tools - Monitor, retry, analyze runs
5 Tag Tools - Organize and categorize workflows
