Node-RED MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Manage Node-RED flows, nodes, and system diagnostics directly from your AI agent.

11 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Connect your Node-RED instance to any AI agent to orchestrate your event-driven applications and IoT workflows through natural language.

What you can do

  • Flow Management — Retrieve, create, update, or delete entire flow configurations and individual tabs using get_flows, add_flow, and delete_flow.
  • Node Operations — List all installed node modules and dynamically install or remove npm packages with install_node and remove_node.
  • System Diagnostics — Monitor runtime health, including OS details, Node.js version, and memory usage via get_diagnostics.
  • Configuration Control — Fetch runtime settings and user information to understand your environment's constraints.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Provide your Node-RED Base URL and Access Token
  3. Start automating your low-code environment from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client

Who is this for?

  • IoT Developers — monitor and modify edge computing flows without leaving the terminal or editor.
  • Automation Engineers — deploy new flow logic and manage node dependencies via conversation.
  • DevOps Teams — check system diagnostics and runtime settings across multiple Node-RED instances.

Show me all active flows in my Node-RED instance.

I've retrieved your flows. You have 3 main tabs: 'Home Automation' (ID: f123), 'Data Logger' (ID: f456), and 'Alerts' (ID: f789). Would you like to inspect a specific one?

Check the system diagnostics and memory usage.

Diagnostics report: Node.js v18.16.0, OS: Linux. Memory usage is currently at 150MB of 512MB allocated. The system is healthy.

Install the 'node-red-node-email' module.

Starting installation of 'node-red-node-email'... The module has been successfully installed and is now available in your palette.

Yes. Use the `install_node` tool and provide the npm module name. The server will trigger the installation in your Node-RED instance.
