What is n8n Workflow Builder?

This is a service based on the MCP protocol that allows you to create and manage n8n automated workflows in natural language through an AI assistant (such as Claude) or a development tool (Cursor IDE). It simplifies the construction process of complex workflows and is especially suitable for non - technical users.

How to use this service?

After installing the server, you can send natural language instructions through the AI assistant to create workflows, set triggers, manage execution records, etc. The system will automatically convert your requirements into n8n workflow configurations.

Use cases

Suitable for business personnel who need to frequently create or modify automated processes, non - technical personnel who want to describe workflow logic in natural language, and teams that need rapid prototype development.

Main features

Workflow management
Supports operations such as creating workflows, updating configurations, activating/deactivating, and deleting workflows.
AI integration
Interact with Claude AI in natural language without writing complex JSON.
Pre - built templates
Provides 5 commonly used workflow templates, such as scheduled tasks and Webhook responses.
Execution tracking
View the execution history records and detailed status of workflows.
Advantages
Create complex workflows without a technical background.
Deeply integrate with AI tools to support natural language interaction.
Automatically handle the complex details of the n8n API.
Provide real - time feedback and error correction suggestions.
Limitations
Currently only compatible with n8n version 1.82.3.
Manual trigger nodes need to be configured in a special way.
There are naming conflict restrictions for tag updates.
An effective API key is required for use.

How to use

Install the server
Install globally via npm or clone the repository locally.
Configure the connection
Set the API address and key of the n8n instance in the.env file.
