Docs and knowledge - official n8n server
n8n docs MCP server
Remote MCP servers published by the n8n documentation that let AI tools search and read n8n docs. The GitBook docs server covers only the published docs. A second Kapa.ai server also draws on the community forum and blog. n8n hosts it at https://docs.n8n.io/~gitbook/mcp; the notes below cover how it authenticates.

https://n8n.mcp.kapa.aiNotes and caveats
- There are two endpoints.
- The GitBook docs server (https://docs.n8n.io/~gitbook/mcp) is not described as needing auth.
- The Kapa.ai server (https://n8n.mcp.kapa.ai) needs a browser-based sign-in.
- Both are HTTP only, with no stdio or SSE.
- Both run on third-party platforms (GitBook, Kapa.ai) but are published by n8n.
- The documented snippets add both servers.
- The docs do not list tool names.
