Node-RED

What is the Node-RED MCP Server?

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, and delete_flow.
  • Node Operations — List all installed node modules and dynamically install or remove npm packages with install_node and remove_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.

Why Claude Code?

Claude Code registers Node-RED as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 11 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Node-RED data drives decisions without human intervention.

  • —

    Single-command setup: claude mcp add registers the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart

  • —

    Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks

  • —

    Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Node-RED tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts

  • —

    Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.

05

Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?

Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.

06

How do I list all connected MCP servers?

Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.

07

Command not found: claude

Ensure Claude Code is installed globally: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
