What is n8n?

n8n is a workflow automation platform for technical teams building AI agents and business processes. Its visual editor connects application actions, AI models, and custom logic in workflows that users can inspect step by step. It supports more than 500 native integrations, HTTP requests to other APIs, and JavaScript or Python code steps.

Teams can use it for tasks such as employee onboarding, invoice processing, and knowledge assistants. AI workflows can include human approval before tool calls, while execution logs and past-run inspection help developers understand decisions and troubleshoot failures. MCP support lets workflows connect with agents and coding assistants.

n8n is available as a hosted service or a self-hosted deployment, including a free Community Edition. Paid plans are based on workflow executions rather than individual steps or users. Collaboration, monitoring, and governance features vary by plan, with options including Git-based version control, separate environments, SSO, external secret stores, and log streaming.
