• ⚠ Publisher verified: Community project owned by an individual GitHub user (czlonkowski), not n8n. It is not affiliated with n8n so far as verified.
• ⚠ Auth model: Management tools use a long-lived N8N_API_KEY for your n8n instance; an optional separate N8N_MCP_ACCESS_TOKEN is used for n8n's own MCP features. A read-only n8n API key is recommended in the README.
• ⚠ Write and delete access: Exposes create, update, delete workflow, credential and data table tools, enabled whenever the API key is set. The README warns 'NEVER edit your production workflows directly with AI!' and documents DISABLED_TOOLS and DISABLED_TOOL_OPERATIONS env vars for a read-only setup.
