Popularity is tracked separately. Support, ads, sponsorships, and tips never affect these signals.

Why it matters

Useful for builders who want assistants to assemble or explain n8n automations with real node-level context instead of hallucinating from stale docs or generic workflow examples.

Who should use it

automation builders n8n users MCP users developers building workflow assistants

About this signal

czlonkowski/n8n-mcp is tracked by RepoRadar as a developer tool in the Radar section. It was first seen on 2026-06-19 and last updated on 2026-06-19. The current verdict is 'try now' with a Gold tier and moderate setup difficulty. Across RepoRadar's eight signals, czlonkowski/n8n-mcp is strongest on workflow potential (10.0) and momentum (9.0) and weakest on setup ease (6.4) — a profile worth weighing against your own priorities. This page summarizes the public evidence on the linked source page and states where additional review is still needed. The score, tier, risk label, and verdict on this page are never influenced by sponsorship, ads, or tips — they reflect only the usefulness, popularity, novelty, momentum, maturity, and evidence signals described in the RepoRadar methodology.

How this item is evaluated

RepoRadar assigned czlonkowski/n8n-mcp a composite score of 8.7 out of 10, placing it in the Gold tier. This score combines weighted sub-signals: usefulness (35%), novelty (18%), momentum (14%), maturity (10%), open-source/build quality (7%), evidence quality (6%), workflow potential (6%), and setup ease (4%). Popularity is tracked separately at 78.0 and never affects the composite score or tier. The risk label of 'conditional' reflects inherent user-impacting hazards, not generic novelty. Items with no risk flag may still require normal code review before production use.

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.

Evidence scope
Bounded setup or capability check
Cleanup
Per-check temporary home and work directory removed. Shared cohort package cache removed.
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.

36 dated snapshots retained from 2026-06-19 through 2026-08-03; see the snapshot index for explicit coverage gaps. Stars, version, release, pricing, integration, risk, maintenance, verdict, score, and momentum fields remain explicit even when a source has not reported them. Repository momentum is a normalized 0–10 RepoRadar signal; GitHub stars appear only where the popularity monitor retained exact timestamped observations.
