n8n-workflow-builder-mcp and mcp-n8n-workflow-builder
These are competing implementations of the same functionality—both MCP servers that enable LLMs to build n8n workflows through natural language—with the salacoste version offering more advanced features (multi-instance support, Claude/Cursor IDE integration) and significantly more community adoption (216 vs 50 stars).
About n8n-workflow-builder-mcp
ifmelate/n8n-workflow-builder-mcp
MCP server that allow LLM in agent mode builds n8n workflows for you
Implements Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes n8n workflow manipulation through structured tools—create/edit nodes, manage connections, and discover 123+ node types with automatic version detection via n8n API. Designed for AI agents in Cursor IDE and other MCP-compatible clients, it generates executable n8n workflow JSON by translating natural language prompts into workflow operations with schema validation and AI-specific connection helpers.
About mcp-n8n-workflow-builder
salacoste/mcp-n8n-workflow-builder
AI-powered n8n workflow automation through natural language. MCP server enabling Claude AI & Cursor IDE to create, manage, and monitor workflows via Model Context Protocol. Multi-instance support, 17 tools, comprehensive docs. Build workflows conversationally without manual JSON editing.
Implements an MCP server using stdio transport that connects Claude and Cursor IDE directly to n8n instances via REST API, supporting multi-environment routing through configuration files for dev/staging/production separation. The 17 tools span complete workflow lifecycle management—creation, execution monitoring, tag organization, and credential handling—with built-in conversation patterns that translate natural language descriptions into executable n8n JSON without exposing API keys or sensitive configuration in logs.
