Setup Process
1. Create MCP Configuration
- Create a
.cursorfolder in your project root - Create
mcp.jsonfile inside the.cursorfolder - 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
- Replace
https://your-n8n-instance.comwith your actual n8n URL - Replace
your-api-keywith your n8n API key
3. Enable MCP Server
- Click "Enable MCP Server" button in Cursor
- Go to Cursor Settings
- Search for "mcp"
- Confirm MCP is working
4. Set Up Project Instructions
