n8n (AI Workflow Automation)

n8n (AI Workflow Automation) MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Manage workflow automation via n8n — audit active workflows, track execution logs, and monitor credentials.

7 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Connect your n8n instance to any AI agent and take full control of your node-based workflow automation, execution diagnostics, and project orchestration through natural conversation.

What you can do

  • Workflow Orchestration — List all managed automation workflows and retrieve detailed JSON logic nodes, including link mappings and trigger configurations directly from your agent
  • Execution Diagnostics — Extract historical execution logs to track success/failure boundaries and retrieve absolute trace logs for rapid debugging of automation failures
  • Node-Level Inspection — Deep-dive into specific execution IDs to extract bounded node-level output blocks and identify exact processing errors natively
  • Credential Audit — List metadata mapping saved automation credentials to verify system types and IDs without exposing literal secure tokens
  • Collaborative Visibility — Enumerate provisioned team users and assigned roles to verify access targets across your n8n infrastructure securely
  • Organizational Tags — List arbitrary category tags used to group and sort complex workflow logic dimensions across your automation workspace
  • Metadata Inspection — Retrieve precise graph representations for specific workflows to understand the underlying logic and data transformation flows instantly

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your n8n Base URL and API Key
  3. Start managing your automation node from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

  • Automation Engineers — verify workflow designs and debug execution failures through natural conversation without manual dashboard navigation
  • Software Developers — test node-based automation logic and retrieve execution traces directly from your workspace terminal
  • IT Operations Teams — monitor automation health and audit credential mappings across multiple n8n instances efficiently

List all active workflows in my n8n instance

I've retrieved your n8n workflows. Highlights include 'Shopify-to-Slack-Sync' (ID: 12, Active), 'Customer-Onboarding-Email' (ID: 45, Active), and 'Daily-Database-Cleanup' (ID: 78). Would you like to check the last execution status for any of these?

Show me the last 5 failed executions in n8n

Retrieving failed executions… I've identified 5 recent errors. The most recent failure was in workflow 'Lead-Ingestion' (ID: 135) due to an 'Unauthorized' error on the CRM node. Would you like me to fetch the full trace for that execution?

List all n8n credentials associated with 'Slack'

I've identified 2 credentials matching 'Slack': 1) 'Slack-Main-Workspace' (ID: 5, Type: slackApi), and 2) 'Slack-Support-Bot' (ID: 8, Type: slackApi). Both appear to be valid. Would you like to check the tags associated with these workflows?

Yes. You just need to provide your full n8n Base URL (e.g., https://n8n.your-company.com). Your agent will connect securely to your private instance using your n8n API Key.
