Discovery

n8n + MCP = Pure Magic

Finally fell in love with n8n after discovering its powerful MCP server. Built a 150-node workflow in just a few hours.

I've known about n8n for a while, but always struggled with creating workflows manually - it was just easier for me as a developer to code specific workflows myself in TypeScript. But I just discovered that n8n has a freaking powerful MCP server. It's a wrapper around their API, but people - it can do anything! In a few hours, I built myself a 150-node, really capable automated workflow. I spun up a Hetzner server for 4 EUR/month, hosted n8n via Docker, connected my Claude Code via the MCP - and magic just started happening. I'm just ideating what I want, and it appears like magic in n8n. The beauty of n8n? You don't have to explain how something works - people just understand it because the workflow is a self-explanatory diagram at the same time.
