概览

AI 生成的概览

本地 MCP 服务器，将助手连接到 n8n 实例，提供 43 个工具来管理工作流、执行记录、数据表、标签、凭据、用户等。

可以做什么
列出、查看、创建、更新、删除、启用、停用并执行工作流，读取或替换其标签。列出、查看和删除执行记录。创建和查询数据表，插入、更新、upsert 或删除行，更新和删除支持试运行。管理标签、凭据（创建、删除、查询 schema）、用户、变量和企业版项目。通过 webhook 地址触发工作流，生成安全审计，并执行健康检查。
适用场景
适合已运行 n8n、希望助手在对话中创建、修改、运行或清理工作流及其执行记录，或操作 n8n 数据表和实例管理而无需打开 n8n 界面的场景。
运行要求
通过 npx 在本地运行，需要 Node.js。需要可访问的 n8n 实例地址，配置在 N8N_BASE_URL（默认 n8n API 密钥，配置在 N8N_API_KEY，可在设置中的 n8n API 页面创建。可选 N8N_MAX_RETRIES 和 N8N_TIMEOUT。数据表需 n8n v1.64 及以上；列出用户需实例所有者角色；项目仅限企业版。
安装前请注意
该 API 密钥可广泛控制 n8n 实例。许多工具会写入或删除数据：工作流、执行记录、标签、凭据、用户、变量、项目和数据表行都可能被删除，工作流还可被启用或执行，可能触发真实自动化。凭据列表只显示名称和类型，但创建凭据需要提供密钥内容。N8N_BASE_URL 只应指向你信任的实例。

安装

在 SourceWeft 中

  1. 打开 控制台中的 n8n MCP Server，将其添加到工作区。
  2. 为需要使用其工具的对话启用该服务。

Desktop only，通过 STDIO。 STDIO 服务会启动本地进程，因此需要 SourceWeft 桌面宿主。

其他 MCP 客户端

参照 仓库 中的启动说明。

Why mcp-n8n?

Other n8n MCPs cover workflows and executions. mcp-n8n covers everything — including Data Tables, the only MCP to do so.
