Which integrations are available for this server?

Provides comprehensive management of n8n automation workflows, including tools to list, create, update, and execute workflows, manage credentials and execution history, and perform semantic searches across workflow patterns.

How do I use n8n-fabric?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@n8n-fabric find any workflows related to automated email marketing" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Workflow Automation Fabric Layer

n8n-fabric wraps n8n with an MCP server, Qdrant vector storage, and Redis caching—making workflows searchable, memorable, and orchestratable alongside git-steer and aiana.

Features

MCP Server

Full n8n API access - Workflows, executions, credentials, nodes
Semantic search - Find workflows by meaning, not just name
Cross-fabric coordination - Works with git-steer and aiana

Workflow Intelligence

Vector embeddings - Workflows stored in Qdrant for similarity search
Pattern recognition - "How did I handle webhook → transform → API?"
Playbook recall - Find and reuse proven workflow patterns

Infrastructure

Docker Compose - One command to run full stack
Redis caching - Fast workflow metadata and execution state
PostgreSQL - n8n's persistent storage

Quick Start

Docker Compose (Recommended)

# Clone repository git clone https://github.com/ry-ops/n8n-fabric cd n8n-fabric # Start full stack (n8n + Qdrant + Redis + PostgreSQL) docker compose up -d # Check status docker compose ps # View n8n UI open http://localhost:5678

Local Development

# Install dependencies uv sync # Set environment variables export N8N_URL=http://localhost:5678 export N8N_API_KEY=your-api-key # Run MCP server uv run n8n-fabric-mcp

Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Default
`N8N_URL`	n8n API URL	`http://localhost:5678`
`N8N_API_KEY`	n8n API key	(required)

Fabric Ecosystem

n8n-fabric is part of the ry-ops fabric ecosystem:

Fabric	Role	MCP Tools
n8n-fabric	Workflow execution, playbooks	Workflows, executions, credentials
git-steer	Repo lifecycle, version control	Repos, branches, security, PRs
aiana	Semantic memory, pattern recall	Memory search, context injection

Cross-Fabric Examples

"Remember how I built the Slack notification workflow" → aiana searches memory → n8n-fabric retrieves workflow → Returns full workflow JSON "Create a new webhook-to-Slack workflow and commit it" → n8n-fabric creates workflow → git-steer commits workflow JSON to repo → aiana indexes for future recall "Run my deployment notification playbook" → aiana recalls playbook pattern → n8n-fabric executes workflow → git-steer logs deployment
