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.

n8n MCP Community — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for n8n MCP Community?
n8n MCP Community runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package n8n-mcp-community was installed 83 times last week.
How do I connect n8n MCP Community?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls n8n-mcp-community straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use n8n MCP Community?
The npm package n8n-mcp-community was installed 83 times in the last week. Week over week that is -84%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is n8n MCP Community open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
