FAQ from Serveur MCP pour n8n

What does Serveur MCP pour n8n do that n8n alone doesn’t?

It adds a validation layer for workflow best practices and automates the generation of NextJS integration code (routes, OpenAPI docs, TypeScript types) directly from n8n workflows.

What are the runtime requirements?

Node.js v16 or higher, pnpm v7 or higher, and an n8n instance (local or remote, e.g., hosted at n8n.bienquoi.com).

Where does the tool store workflow data?

All data lives on the configured n8n instance. The MCP server communicates with the n8n API; it does not persist workflows locally except for generated output files in the output/ directory.

Are there any known transport or authentication limits?

The server uses the MCP protocol and connects to n8n’s REST API using credentials stored in a .env file. It is designed for local or trusted network use; no advanced authentication mechanisms are described.

How is Serveur MCP pour n8n licensed?

It is open source under the MIT license.
