Setup Process

1. Create MCP Configuration

  1. Create a .cursor folder in your project root
  2. Create mcp.json file inside the .cursor folder
  3. Copy the configuration from this repository

Basic configuration (documentation tools only):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "n8n-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["n8n-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MCP_MODE": "stdio",
        "LOG_LEVEL": "error",
        "DISABLE_CONSOLE_OUTPUT": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

Full configuration (with n8n management tools):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "n8n-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["n8n-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MCP_MODE": "stdio",
        "LOG_LEVEL": "error",
        "DISABLE_CONSOLE_OUTPUT": "true",
        "N8N_API_URL": "https://your-n8n-instance.com",
        "N8N_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Configure n8n Connection

  1. Replace https://your-n8n-instance.com with your actual n8n URL
  2. Replace your-api-key with your n8n API key

3. Enable MCP Server

  1. Click "Enable MCP Server" button in Cursor
  2. Go to Cursor Settings
  3. Search for "mcp"
  4. Confirm MCP is working

4. Set Up Project Instructions

  1. In your Cursor chat, invoke "create rule" and hit Tab
  2. Name the rule (e.g., "n8n-mcp")
  3. Set rule type to "always"
  4. Copy the Claude Project instructions from the main README's Claude Project Setup section
