Built-in capabilities (11)
Tools for your AI Agents to operate Node-RED
Ask your AI agent "Show me all active flows in my Node-RED instance." and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 11 tools connected to real Node-RED data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by Vinkius — your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.

What the Node-RED MCP Server unlocks
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, anddelete_flow. - Node Operations — List all installed node modules and dynamically install or remove npm packages with
install_nodeandremove_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.
Frequently asked questions about the Node-RED MCP Server
Can I install new nodes from npm using this server?
Yes. Use the install_node tool and provide the npm module name. The server will trigger the installation in your Node-RED instance.
How can I check if my Node-RED server is running out of memory?
You can run the get_diagnostics tool. It returns real-time system metrics including memory usage, Node.js version, and OS information.
Is it possible to delete a specific flow tab?
Yes, by using the delete_flow tool with the specific Flow ID. Be careful, as this action will permanently remove that flow configuration.
