How this item is evaluated

The czlonkowski/n8n-mcp record combines a 8.7/10 composite score with separate popularity (78.0), risk (conditional), and setup (moderate) signals. See the scoring methodology for the current weights and evidence definitions.

Questions worth asking before you adopt this

Putting this into practice? Read How to vet an AI agent or MCP server before you wire it in for the checklist behind this score.

Risk explanation

The project is meant to improve AI-assisted workflow building around n8n, and its own README warns against editing production workflows directly with AI, so start on copies and test before promoting anything live.

Verification record

What RepoRadar actually verified

Installed and tested Source-only update since test

Hands-on setup or capability check retained by RepoRadar verification harness. Last checked 2026-07-13T03:21:43.688448Z.

A source release dated 2026-09-23 is newer than the retained test dated 2026-07-13; the previous test may no longer represent the current release.

Read as a sequence: 1 retained check(s) on 2026-07-13 with outcomes of 1 partial; evidence scopes covered bounded setup checks. Recorded setup time totals 0 minute(s).

Actions exercised

Created a disposable home, work directory, and isolated package cache with credential-like environment variables excluded.
Executed bounded check: Resolve the n8n-mcp package and request its local command help.
Captured the complete sanitized stdout, stderr, exit status, and 15.21-second wall time.

Observed results

Command exited 0 after 15.21 seconds.
The command produced a successful local process exit; complete output is retained.

Observed strengths

The pinned [email protected] package launched its stdio process and handled closed stdin with explicit graceful-shutdown messages.

Friction

The command emitted stderr; warnings or errors are preserved in the retained log for review.

Limitations

No n8n credentials, MCP client, or live server workflow was used.
This bounded cohort check is not a production benchmark or a claim of real user-workflow adoption.

Pricing assessment: No paid plan or metered provider usage was exercised; package or licensing, hosting, and provider costs remain workflow-dependent.

Privacy assessment: No repository content, user data, or provider prompt was transmitted; broader product data handling was not assessed by this bounded run.
