n8n Manager MCP
A clean bridge between AI assistants and n8n's REST API, exposing 18 tools for workflow CRUD, execution monitoring, and cross-server syncing. You get list, create, update, delete, and activate operations, plus export/import for moving workflows between instances. Built-in safety controls include read-only mode, automatic backups before mutations, and a local restore system. Multi-server support means you can juggle staging and production environments in the same conversation. Ships with a node catalog so your assistant knows what's available when building workflows. No Python dependencies, connects directly to n8n's API, and includes 89 tests covering Windows, macOS, and Linux.
