Hosted MCP server

n8n MCP server

Your agent builds, runs and fixes the workflows on your own n8n.

Offre gratuite · sans carte bancaire · configuration en 2 minutes

Connect your n8n instance with its address and API key, and your agent can list workflows, create or update one, turn it on, run it by its Webhook trigger, read why an execution failed and retry it.

It also reads and writes n8n data tables, so a workflow and an agent can share the same records. A watch on failed executions tells the agent the moment something breaks.

Tools

What your agent can do in n8n

Typed tools with input schemas, so the agent calls them right the first time. Account tools are free on every plan.

n8n.workflows.list

The workflows on your instance.

n8n.workflow.create

Create a workflow, inactive until you turn it on.

n8n.workflow.activate

Activate (publish) a workflow.

n8n.workflow.run

Run a workflow by its Webhook trigger, with a payload.

n8n.executions.list

Execution runs, filtered by workflow or status.

n8n.execution.retry

Retry a failed execution.

n8n.table.rows.add

Add rows to an n8n data table.

A watch on n8n.executions.list with status error alerts the agent when a run fails.

Examples

Ask it in plain words

“Which workflows failed in the last 24 hours, and why?”
“Retry yesterday’s failed runs of the invoice sync once the API is back.”
“Build a workflow that posts new Typeform answers to #leads, and leave it inactive.”
“Tell me in Slack whenever a production workflow fails.”

Setup

Connected in two minutes

01
Create a free Anaella account and connect n8n from Channels.
02
In Claude, add a custom connector with the URL https://api.anaella.com/mcp and sign in. Cursor, Claude Code and other MCP clients take the URL with an API key, as below.
03
Ask your agent to do something in n8n. Writes come to you for approval first.

Any MCP client (Streamable HTTP)json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anaella": {
      "url": "https://api.anaella.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ana_..." }
    }
  }
}

The same server reaches every account you connect: one URL for n8n and the rest. More setup options

n8n MCP FAQ

Does it work with self hosted n8n?+

Yes, any n8n instance reachable over HTTPS, self hosted or n8n Cloud, with an API key from its settings.

Can it break my production workflows?+

New workflows are created inactive, and activating or updating one is a write you approve.

Is there also an Anaella node for n8n?+

Yes. The @anaella/n8n-nodes-anaella community node lets your workflows call any Anaella tool, the other direction of the same connection.

Can it read credentials stored in n8n?+

It can list credential names and types, never their secret values.
