n8n MCP Community runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 83 installs a week from npm. Last commit 13 Aug 2026.
A security-focused MCP server for self-hosted n8n Community Edition.
Today is the operative word: we check n8n MCP Community every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
N8N_API_URL (Absolute HTTP(S) base URL for the intended self-hosted n8n instance; plaintext HTTP is limited to loopback unless explicitly allowed.), N8N_API_KEY (Dedicated least-privilege n8n Public API key.), N8N_MCP_MODE (Operation mode: read-only, write, or unsafe.), N8N_ALLOW_INSECURE_HTTP (Keep 0 unless plaintext HTTP to a non-loopback host is explicitly accepted.).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
