Connect n8n Workflows

Prerequisites

A running n8n workspace with access to the workflow editor Administrator rights in the AI ​​Workplace

1. Create an MCP Server Trigger in n8n Create a new workflow in n8n and add the MCP Server Trigger node as the starting point (found under Advanced AI -> MCP Server Trigger).

1. Configure the trigger:

Path: A unique path, e.g., my-workflow-mcp. This will be part of the URL where the workflow is accessible.

Authentication: Select Bearer Auth to secure access (recommended, see step 3).

2. Define Tools

Add one or more tool workflow nodes.

There are a large number of pre-built tools. You can also add your own complete n8n workflows as tools.

Tip: A workflow can provide multiple tools.

3. Set up a Bearer Token (recommended)

To secure access to the workflow:

In n8n, create a new bearer authentication credential with a secure token under Credentials.

Select this credential in the MCP Server Trigger Node under Credential for Bearer Auth.

You will later enter the same token in the AI ​​Workplace (see step 5).

4. Publish the Workflow and Copy the URL

Click the Publish button in the upper right corner to make the workflow live.

You can find the production URL in the MCP Server Trigger Node under the Production URL tab. It has the following format:

Example: https://adacor.n8n.adacor.ai/mcp/my-workflow-mcp
