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.

Why Cursor?

Cursor's Agent mode turns Node-RED into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Node-RED and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 11 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

—
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
—
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
—
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
—
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
