How to Connect & Install

Select your client or environment below to copy the verified, ready-to-run installation configuration.

1-line autonomous agent setup instruction. Paste into Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Cursor Agent:

Fetch and configure Model Context Protocol (MCP) server N8n from https://www.fastmcp.dev/server/n8n

Agents automatically discover, install, and execute the server spec without manual token setup.

Connect via direct Stateless MCP v2 / Streamable HTTP endpoint or JSON-RPC:

https://github.com/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp

Stateless edge endpoint compliant with MCP 2024-11-05 and v2 draft protocol specs.

Includes server instructions and tool definitions for Claude:

claude mcp add n8n -- npx -y n8n-mcp

Run in terminal to register server in current project or pass --scope user for global availability.

Configures server instructions and tools for OpenAI Codex & ChatGPT Desktop:

[mcp_servers.n8n_9]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y","n8n-mcp"]

Applies to ChatGPT Desktop app, Codex CLI, and IDE extension across your Codex host.
