This one needs environment variables set before it will start: N8N_BASE_URL (n8n instance URL (e.g. http://localhost:5678)), N8N_API_KEY (n8n API key). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

n8n MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for n8n MCP Server?

n8n MCP Server 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 @nextoolsolutions/mcp-n8n was installed 37 times last week.

How do I connect n8n MCP Server?

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 @nextoolsolutions/mcp-n8n straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use n8n MCP Server?

The npm package @nextoolsolutions/mcp-n8n was installed 37 times in the last week. Week over week that is +121%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is n8n MCP Server open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript, 1 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
