Automate Your Workflow Management with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your workflow operations by programmatically adding, removing, listing, searching, and executing workflows. This n8n workflow acts as a central API for managing your n8n instances, enabling seamless integration with other systems.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to serve as a comprehensive API for managing your n8n workflows. It allows external systems or other n8n workflows to interact with your n8n instance by performing key operations such as adding new workflows, removing existing ones, listing all available workflows, searching for specific workflows, and even executing them. The workflow is triggered by another workflow, receiving commands and relevant data like workflow IDs and parameters. It then intelligently routes these requests to the appropriate action, ensuring efficient and automated workflow management.
Key to its functionality is the ability to parse and process incoming requests, dynamically generating schema for workflow inputs based on defined trigger parameters. It also filters workflows based on tags, specifically looking for those tagged with 'mcp', and applies these filters to refine operations. This offers a robust solution for centralized and automated control over your automation processes.
Key Features
- Programmatic Workflow Management: Add, remove, list, search, and execute workflows via an API interface.
- Dynamic Input Schema Generation: Automatically defines expected inputs for executed workflows.
- Tag-Based Filtering: Efficiently targets workflows tagged with specific identifiers like 'mcp'.
- Multi-Operation Handling: Supports a variety of operations through a single trigger point.
- External Triggering: Designed to be invoked by other n8n workflows or external services.
How To Use
- Trigger Setup: Ensure this workflow is initiated by another n8n workflow or external service. The trigger node ('When Executed by Another Workflow') defines the expected inputs:
operation(e.g., 'addWorkflow', 'removeWorkflow'),workflowIds, andparameters. - Operation Routing: The 'Operations' switch node will route the incoming request based on the value of the
operationinput. - Workflow Filtering (Optional): If the operation involves selecting specific workflows, the 'Get MCP-tagged Workflows' node can be used to retrieve workflows tagged with 'mcp', and the 'Filter Matching Ids' node refines this list based on provided
workflowIds. - Parameter Definition: The 'Simplify Workflows' node dynamically generates a JSON schema for workflow input parameters based on the
workflowInputsdefined in the trigger node. - Action Execution: Subsequent nodes within each branch of the 'Operations' switch would handle the actual execution of the requested operation (e.g., interacting with the n8n API to add/remove workflows).
