What is n8n?
n8n is a automation tool. With OSP.net, your AI agent connects to it directly so it can act on your behalf instead of just answering questions about it.
What your OSP agent can do with n8n
- Run workflows and pass parameters
- Use your n8n MCP/webhook endpoints
How to connect n8n
- In your n8n instance, add an MCP Server Trigger node (or a webhook), choose the workflows/tools to expose, and copy its production URL. n8n Docs: MCP Server Trigger
- Paste the URL here and Connect. It must be reachable from the internet (your hosted n8n).
Security: The URL points at your own n8n instance and may embed an auth token — we store it write-only. Scope the exposed workflows to only what the agent should run.
