About

Node-based workflow builder with app integrations, code steps and AI agent nodes. Self-host the free Community Edition under the fair-code Sustainable Use License (source-available, not OSI open source), or use n8n Cloud, hosted in the EU.

What you can do with it

  • Automate multi-step workflows across SaaS apps, databases and APIs
  • Build AI agents that call tools, keep memory and use the LLM provider you choose
  • Expose workflows to Claude or ChatGPT through n8n's built-in MCP server

  1. Run n8n with Docker or sign up for n8n Cloud
  2. Open the editor at http://localhost:5678
  3. Build a workflow from a trigger node and action nodes
