N8n Manager MCP Overview

ellmos-ai/n8n-manager-mcp connects MCP clients to local or remote n8n instances through a local Node.js stdio process. It supports workflow CRUD, activation, execution inspection, import/export, backup and restore, server connection management, and node description. Safety controls can enforce read-only operation, create backups before mutations, and record an audit log. Use it when an AI assistant needs to manage workflows across multiple n8n environments rather than only inspect them.

Primary Use Cases for N8n Manager MCP:
  • Manage workflows across development, staging, and production n8n instances
  • Inspect workflow structure and recent execution failures
  • Export workflows as JSON for transfer between n8n servers
  • Restore workflows from pre-mutation local backups
