Is this somehow possible to add to an existing n8n docker installation?

[bch80]

Hi,

I've already got my n8n running in a docker container and have quite a few workflows.
How is it possible to add these features to my existing installation?

Yes, add n8n-mcp to your existing docker-compose.yml:

services:
  n8n-mcp:
    image: ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest
    container_name: n8n-mcp
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    environment:
      - N8N_MODE=true
      - MCP_MODE=http
      - N8N_API_URL=http://n8n:5678  # Your n8n container name
      - N8N_API_KEY=${N8N_API_KEY}
      - MCP_AUTH_TOKEN=${MCP_AUTH_TOKEN}
      - AUTH_TOKEN=${MCP_AUTH_TOKEN}
    networks:
      - your-n8n-network  # Same network as n8n

Generate auth token: openssl rand -hex 32
