AI MCP Server for n8n: Building Intelligent Workflow Agents
AI MCP Server for n8n: Building Intelligent Workflow Agents N8n just got a major power-up. With the integration of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, you can now build AI-driven workflows that think, reason, and act intelligently. Let me show you what this means and how to use it. What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)? MCP is a new protocol developed by Anthropic that standardizes how AI models like Claude interact with external tools and data sources. Think of it this way: Before MCP: Claude had no standard way to interact with external tools Claude → Custom integration → Tool Claude → Another custom integration → Different tool Claude → Yet another custom integration → Yet another tool With MCP: Clean, standardized protocol Claude → MCP Server ← All tools standardized ↓ Claude uses tools naturally Why This Matters Standardization: Same interface for all tools Simplicity: Developers don't reinvent the wheel Power: Claude can actually use external...
