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.

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.

How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.

Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
