Provides tools to search and retrieve documentation for official built-in nodes and core documentation pages, enabling discovery of integration capabilities and usage instructions directly within the AI assistant.
Enables searching and listing of n8n community packages published on npm, allowing users to find community-contributed nodes and access their metadata and documentation.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@n8n Community Nodes MCP Server search for community nodes for Telegram"
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.
A focused MCP server for:
Community n8n packages from npm
Official n8n docs and built-in nodes from n8n-io/n8n-docs
Discover and search community n8n nodes directly from your AI assistant
Access official n8n documentation without leaving your editor
Context-optimized responses using TOON format to save tokens
Searches run in parallel across multiple npm tags, results are deduplicated and ranked:
Signal | Weight |
Name match | 40% |
Tag match | 30% |
Description | 20% |
Popularity | 10% |
Filler phrases are stripped from queries — "how to send slack messages" and "slack messages" return the same results.
All responses are encoded in TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) — a compact format designed for LLMs. Instead of repeating JSON keys in every object, TOON declares them once and streams rows:
[10]{package,name,description,version,downloadsLastWeek}:
n8n-nodes-slack-bolt,Slack Bolt,Advanced Slack integration,1.2.0,340
n8n-nodes-discord,Discord,Discord bot nodes for n8n,0.9.1,210
...30–60% fewer tokens per response — more room in context, lower cost per call.
