Use when you want to expose an n8n workflow as a tool the coding agent can call. Two cases. (1) Wrap n8n API capabilities the MCP doesn't natively expose: folder deletion, project create/rename, tag rename/delete, instance metadata, credential creation. (2) Expose a general-purpose workflow as an agent tool: a workflow that calls a third-party API, runs business logic, or does any task you want the agent to invoke. Triggers on "expose as MCP tool", "build a tool for my agent", "I need to know X" where X isn't an MCP tool, "delete folder", "rename tag", or any capability gap.
