Automate AI Agents with n8n and MCP

Automate AI Agents with n8n and MCP
Practical Guide to Building Smart Workflows with Open Tools and Real-World Use Cases

Are you ready to go beyond basic automations and connect your AI tools into powerful, self-orchestrating workflows?

This hands-on guide shows you how to automate AI agents using n8n — the open-source workflow engine — and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a fast-growing standard for tool integration with LLMs and agents.

You will learn how to:

• Deploy self-hosted workflows using Docker + PostgreSQL
• Use the n8n-nodes-mcp client to connect with public or custom MCP servers
• Trigger and execute tools from within AI pipelines
• Integrate with platforms like Brave Search, Firecrawl, and OpenAI
• Leverage ready-to-use templates and customize them for your needs

This book is perfect for developers, automation engineers, and AI enthusiasts looking to:

• Orchestrate multi-step automations using AI
• Operate local, private, or open-source agent infrastructure
• Experiment with AI tools in real-world workflows without vendor lock-in

This book is not about building autonomous multi-agent systems from scratch. It’s about connecting tools that already exist — and making them work together in powerful, flexible ways using n8n and MCP.
