Does this work with self-hosted n8n instances?

Yes. You just need to provide your full n8n Base URL (e.g., https://n8n.your-company.com). Your agent will connect securely to your private instance using your n8n API Key.

Can I see exactly why an n8n execution failed through my agent?

Yes. Use the `get_execution` tool with a specific Execution ID. Your agent will retrieve the node-level trace logs, allowing you to see which specific node encountered an error and the resulting output payload for that step.

Can my agent list the automation credentials saved in my n8n account?

Absolutely. Use the `list_credentials` tool to identify all stored auth hooks. Your agent will report the credential names and system types (e.g., Slack, GitHub), helping you audit your integrations without exposing literal secure tokens.

What this connector unlocks

Connect your n8n instance to any AI agent and take full control of your node-based workflow automation, execution diagnostics, and project orchestration through natural conversation.

What you can do

Workflow Orchestration — List all managed automation workflows and retrieve detailed JSON logic nodes, including link mappings and trigger configurations directly from your agent
Execution Diagnostics — Extract historical execution logs to track success/failure boundaries and retrieve absolute trace logs for rapid debugging of automation failures
Node-Level Inspection — Deep-dive into specific execution IDs to extract bounded node-level output blocks and identify exact processing errors natively
Credential Audit — List metadata mapping saved automation credentials to verify system types and IDs without exposing literal secure tokens
Collaborative Visibility — Enumerate provisioned team users and assigned roles to verify access targets across your n8n infrastructure securely
Organizational Tags — List arbitrary category tags used to group and sort complex workflow logic dimensions across your automation workspace
Metadata Inspection — Retrieve precise graph representations for specific workflows to understand the underlying logic and data transformation flows instantly

How it works

1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your n8n Base URL and API Key
3. Start managing your automation node from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

Automation Engineers — verify workflow designs and debug execution failures through natural conversation without manual dashboard navigation
Software Developers — test node-based automation logic and retrieve execution traces directly from your workspace terminal
IT Operations Teams — monitor automation health and audit credential mappings across multiple n8n instances efficiently
