Independent review. IonBin has no partnership with n8n and was not paid for this page. Our evaluation is our own, based on public documentation and our research. Product names are trademarks of their owners and are used for identification only. How disclosure works.
Workflow automation you can self-host free (Community Edition) or use as n8n Cloud, with AI-agent building blocks. It can act as an MCP server via the MCP Server Trigger node.
n8n prices Cloud by monthly workflow executions: Starter 20€/month and Pro 50€/month billed annually; Business (667€/month, self-hosted) and Enterprise. The self-hosted Community Edition is free on GitHub. Checked 2026-10-17. source ↗
How n8n connects to each AI platform: native connector or MCP, API through code the agent writes, browser control, or file upload.
| Platform | MCP / connector | API (agent-written code) | Browser | Upload / export |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude (incl. Claude Code) | Not documented n8n has an official MCP server and Claude (incl. Claude Code) supports MCP, but n8n's docs don't name this pairing. Auth setup may differ. n8n MCP docs ↗Claude (incl. Claude Code) MCP docs ↗ | Confirmed Claude (incl. Claude Code) can run code; n8n publishes an API. Claude (incl.

Confirmed means both the tool's and the platform's official docs describe that route (links in the cell); IonBin has not tested every pairing. Not documented means it may work, but no official docs describe that route end to end. Checked Oct 17, 2026.

Ops & admin automation Automation hub
Via its official MCP server, from MCP-capable platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini (Google), Google Antigravity, OpenAI Codex.
No long-form review yet. Verdict is based on research, not hands-on testing.
Visual builder for multi-step automation scenarios across apps, billed in credits. A hosted MCP server lets AI clients such as Claude and ChatGPT run scenarios, and scenarios can be exported and imported as JSON blueprints.
App-to-app automation across 9,000+ apps, with Zaps, Tables and Forms. Zapier MCP lets AI assistants take 40,000+ actions; each successful MCP call uses two tasks from your plan.
