n8n MCP Changes Everything...

but NOT why you think.

In partnership with

In today’s video, we break down:

  • Why MCPs matter

  • What the community node did right

  • Why n8n’s version feels like a step sideways

  • And how it actually shines with tools like Claude

🤖 Quick Recap: What’s an MCP?

Model Context Protocol = AI decides which tool to run.
Before? You had to wire up every tool manually (like every Gmail operation—individually).
Now? The community node simplifies that into one smart interface.

⚠️ n8n’s Official Version?

  • New Trigger Node + Client Tool

  • Feels like a glorified sub-workflow

  • BUT: opens the door to tools like Claude Desktop and Cursor

📥 Claude + MCP = No More Copy/Paste

Claude can now trigger n8n workflows directly.

E.g. Say:

“Send an email to X saying hi”
→ Claude fires n8n → Email gets sent. Done.

Total game-changer for daily workflows.

I show you how to:

  • Set up the trigger

  • Connect tools like Gmail
