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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add n8n-pro-mcp -- npx -y n8n-pro-mcp

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: N8N_API_URL (Base URL of the n8n instance (no /api/v1 suffix)), N8N_API_KEY (n8n API key (Settings -> n8n API -> Create API key)), N8N_WEBHOOK_BASE_URL (Separate base URL for webhook calls (queue mode webhook processors)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

n8n Pro MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for n8n Pro MCP?
n8n Pro MCP 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-pro-mcp was installed 24 times last week.
How do I connect n8n Pro MCP?
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-pro-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use n8n Pro MCP?
The npm package n8n-pro-mcp was installed 24 times in the last week. Week over week that is -33%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is n8n Pro MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 3 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.
