Okay, this video on n8n’s new MCP (Model Context Protocol) support is seriously exciting and a total game-changer for how we integrate AI into our workflows. Basically, it shows you how to build custom AI tools that directly hook into things like Claude and Cursor, using n8n’s no-code platform as the glue. Think to-do list management, email handling, or even content generation, all powered by AI and automated without writing a single line of code.
For someone like me who’s been diving headfirst into AI-enhanced development, this is gold. Instead of wrestling with APIs and SDKs, we can leverage n8n to create MCP servers and clients, effectively building custom AI tools tailored to our specific needs. The video walks you through setting up the server, integrating it with AI apps, and even using n8n as an MCP client to access external services. Imagine automating the tedious parts of your development lifecycle with custom AI agents responding to your instructions in Claude or Cursor.
The real kicker is the potential for practical applications. We could build automated testing workflows, generate documentation from code comments, or even create AI-powered code review assistants. The video touches on connecting to-do lists and other services, which is just scratching the surface. And let’s be real, the thought of creating these kinds of custom integrations without getting bogged down in code is incredibly appealing and efficient. I’m particularly intrigued by the MCP client node. It basically unlocks a whole new level of automation. I’m already thinking of how I can use this to connect my internal tools with LLMs, and honestly, that’s an experiment worth diving into.
