## Description

MCP-SERVER-N8N provides a WebSocket-based server that enables AI assistants to execute n8n workflows directly. The implementation creates a bridge between the MCP protocol and n8n's workflow engine, allowing clients to send workflow definitions and input data for execution in a sandboxed environment using VM2. Built with Node.js, it features a tool management system that can be extended beyond the included n8n workflow tool, automatic port discovery, and JSON-RPC 2.0 compliant messaging. This server is particularly valuable for automation scenarios where AI assistants need to trigger complex workflows without leaving their conversation context.
