How to Connect
Remote Plugin
No local installation needed. Your AI client connects to the remote endpoint directly.
Add this to your MCP configuration to connect:
{
"mcpServers": {
"io-github-pipeworx-io-n8n": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/n8n/mcp"
}

n8n MCP — query your own n8n instance (BYO).
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
n8n_list_workflows | List workflows in YOUR n8n instance, with an active/inactive breakdown. Answers "how many active workflows do we have", "list our n8n workflows", "which workflows are turned on". Each workflow: id, name, active (on/off), createdAt, updatedAt, tags. Set active_only:true to list just the live ones. Requires your instance_url + n8n API key (_apiKey). |
n8n_get_workflow | Get one workflow's detail by id from your n8n instance — name, active state, node list (which integrations it uses), tags, timestamps. Get the id from n8n_list_workflows. Requires your instance_url + n8n API key (_apiKey). |
n8n_list_executions | List recent workflow executions (runs) in your n8n instance — for "did our workflows run", "show recent failures", "execution history". Each: id, workflowId, status (success/error/waiting), mode, startedAt, stoppedAt. Filter by status and/or workflow_id. Requires your instance_url + n8n API key (_apiKey). |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"n8n": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/n8n/mcp"
}
}
}
What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/n8n/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about N8n data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
