n8n just made AI Apps 10X Easier (New MCP)
By Jack Roberts
Summary
## Key takeaways - **n8n MCP Enables 10x Easier AI Apps**: N10 just made building AI apps 10 times easier. Lead generation systems, client onboarding systems, any app you could possibly imagine because of N8N MCP. [00:00], [00:10] - **MCP Standardizes App Communication**: MCP means model context protocol. It's a standard language that lets apps talk to other apps, so they can converse and work with each other perfectly. [01:29], [01:51] - **Solves Plumbing for Webhooks and Forms**: MCP solves all of the problems and the hassle of connecting workflows with front-end dashboards for any scenario that has a webhook, schedule, chat or form. You don't have to do any of the plumbing, meaning you build it a lot quicker. [00:52], [03:07] - **Connect Lovable Instantly via OAuth**: You can do the oorthth, which basically just opens up NAN, and these are apps that already have an NAN integration like Lovable. In Lovable, click on integrations, enable NA10 MCP, and it connects without reconfiguring the webhook. [01:56], [02:58] - **Cursor MCP via Access Token JSON**: The other way is on the access token where you can come down here and you'll have a beautiful JSON file that you can use. Paste the MCP JSON into Cursor settings and add custom MCP to connect. [02:03], [10:13] - **One-Shot App Build with RAG Works**: We oneshotted this. That's never happened before in these apps. We literally connected it with the MCP and we're ready to rock and roll, using the RAG database with no faffing around or webhook things. [08:14], [08:38]

N10 just made building AI apps 10 times easier. Lead generation systems, client
easier. Lead generation systems, client onboarding systems, any app you could possibly imagine. And this is because of
possibly imagine. And this is because of N8N MCP. And in this video, I'm going to
N8N MCP. And in this video, I'm going to show you exactly how to set it up, use it with AI building apps like Lovable, Cursor, Bolt, Claude Code, whatever, and how to build apps in minutes with
capabilities that you've not had before.
So, if you haven't already, grab that beautiful coffee and let's dive straight in. And if you're new here, by the way,
in. And if you're new here, by the way, my name is Jack. I built and sold my last tech startup, and now I help businesses build and scale with AI, and I show you exactly how to do the same.
So, the first thing we kick off with in this video, guys, is one about MCP. So
basically anytime they've released this new MCP that lets us connect to different softwares like these builders such as lovable and any coding interface that we're using which essentially means
that it solves all of the problems and the hassle of connecting our beautiful workflows with our front-end dashboards.
It's very very cool to give you a quick TLDDR. You can use it with any scenario that has a web hook, schedule, chat or form. So the first thing basically to
form. So the first thing basically to show you how this works is just to show you an instance. So what we first of all need to do is actually set it up. So
come over to your end scenario. You need
to come down here to your thing. Now
what you need to make sure is that you're on the latest version of NA10 cuz it's a brand new update. Now once that's done, you're going to come down here to settings. We're going to save this one
settings. We're going to save this one cuz we made a few changes. And once
we've done that, we landed something like this. Then on the left hand side,
like this. Then on the left hand side, you're going to see this new thing here which is MCP. And if you're not familiar with MCP, it just means model context protocol. It's a standard language that
protocol. It's a standard language that lets apps talk to other apps, which means that you can just you don't have to know all the nitty-gritty. They can
converse and work with each other perfectly. So on here, what you're going
perfectly. So on here, what you're going to come down is enable MCP and anytime.
Then once you've done that, you'll see a couple of things. Now, there's two ways to connect all of your apps with NAM.
You can do the oorthth, which basically just opens up NAN, and these are apps that already have an NAN integration like Lovable. The other way is on the
like Lovable. The other way is on the access token where you can come down here and you'll have a beautiful JSON file that you can use and I'll show you exactly how you do both. So what we first of all want to do is build an app
lovable and then connect that with MCP.
So if you head over to Lovable real quick and then what you can see down here, you're going to have the ability to connect Lovable to various different things. So let's open up an example of
things. So let's open up an example of an app that I had. Okay, so we've got this one over here, which is great. Then
what we want to do is physically connect this to NAM. And to do that, you're going to come down here to the plus at the bottom and you're going to click on integrations and you see your MCP servers. If you don't see that, you can
servers. If you don't see that, you can click on manage integrations and then you just simply enable NA10 MCP which basically means that when we create any chatbot for your business and let's say
that chatbot has rag memory, right? And
we we've got a beautiful scenario with rag memory, we actually don't need to reconfigure the web hog. Lovable will be able to understand everything that's happening in that scenario. So you don't
have to do any of the plumbing, meaning you build it a lot quicker. So let's
actually do this as a real live work case together. Then I'll show you how
case together. Then I'll show you how you integrate it into things like anti-gravity and cloud cut. So we've got this set. Now the first thing we need to
this set. Now the first thing we need to do is give it a little bit of a description. Now that's important
description. Now that's important because this will basically explain to the app builders what the scenario is actually about. Now the first thing we
actually about. Now the first thing we need to do is decide which workflows we want to connect to our scenarios. But we
have to give it some kind of description. So I'm going to open this
description. So I'm going to open this up and say this is a rag database trained on the latest business insights and we'll give advice to anybody using
it. Call this one the Jack protocol.
it. Call this one the Jack protocol.
Okay, something like that. So we
basically enter all this information here and then we click save. Of course
we're using gladder for text to speech.
Some say the fastest thing on the planet which is cool. Hence the beautiful cap and we're kicking some butt. So now
we've given add basically added in the description. So let's build our first
description. So let's build our first app in Leold. Check this out. I would
like you to build for me using the N8N MCP a beautiful WhatsApp style chat interface with a simple clean crisp branding feel like a Disney and Apple
make it great add some interactivity and some animations beautiful and then when we enter this guys we've been specific about using an NA10 and MCP so this should actually connect now go through
the different specifics that will then leverage in on our billiond dollar agent which is great which has got a rack database it's got the web hook website hook. Now, what's really cool with this
hook. Now, what's really cool with this is the fact that we don't need to give it any of the information about the web hook. Remember, what this is solving is
hook. Remember, what this is solving is the plumbing because we can use anything from, if you see here, web hooks, schedules, chats, and forms, which means that this now solves the plumbing issue.
And if you had, let's say, a client onboarding form and you were asking questions like, hey, you know, how much money do you make? Um, what are you doing with X? What are you doing with Y?
Blah blah blah. It will know that and you don't have to feed it in together.
Now check this out. It's come back and said, "Hey, do you want to allow NA10?"
I'm going to come down. I'm going to say, "You know what? We're okay with that. We're okay with you allowing
that. We're okay with you allowing NA10." So we've now given it the
NA10." So we've now given it the permission to use the NA10 MCP, which means it will go into the NA10 environment and check all the different things that we've got. And now it's going to build it for us automatically.
So this solves the plumbing problem, which means you're going to be able to spin up apps way quicker. Ask it any questions you want to. Basically, create
your dream scenario in NAM. Okay. the
questions you want the form to have. So
I could, for example, create a form in this, right, that has 10 questions about our dream avatar. I don't even need to tell lovable, cursor, claude code,
antique, any of these models or platforms what I want. I can say I want you to connect to this particular thing and it'll go through and do the plumbing for me, which is going to save you so
much time because it has access to this MCP, which is code for great news. Now
this is working in the background. What
I would like to do actually is just show you that it's really connected with the MCP while that's building. So if I come into my settings and I come down to MCP access, what we do need to do first of all, as you can see here, we've got
client name lovable, but we haven't given it any workflows available yet. So
to solve that, we've got to come over here, click on this right here, and then we come down to settings, and then we need to basically make it available in MCP, and then click save. And just like that, it's now going to be available in
MCP. So that when you come back over to
MCP. So that when you come back over to uh this section right over here and then I refresh this, you should see the MCP connection appear at the bottom of the screen and you can see our billiond
dollar agent is available. Then we come back over to our level connection real quick. And when we did the call, we
quick. And when we did the call, we hadn't activated it. It says, "Hey, no workflows are available yet." We'll say, "Hey there, the NA10 workflow is now available. Please retry this." Bam. We
available. Please retry this." Bam. We
send this one off. Come back over then to the billion dollar agent. You can see it's working perfectly fine. then
lovable should connect that for us in the background. Now livable is not the
the background. Now livable is not the best way to build stunning incredible user apps. You Gemini is the best but I
user apps. You Gemini is the best but I wanted to show you the principle in these builders. So you can pretty much
these builders. So you can pretty much do this yourself. Then next after we've done that we're going to show you how you connect this in to claude code and any kind of the idees that you might be using. So we're going to come down.
using. So we're going to come down.
We're going to allow it to connect and then it should find for us the billiond dollar agent. And look at this guys.
dollar agent. And look at this guys.
Found it. Let me get the workflow details to integrate it properly. All
right. You know what? We're going to allow you to grab the workflow details.
I think this is so freaking cool. MCP
really does standardize everything and just makes building way easier because instead of us having to be the person in between the apps relaying the information, it will just do it for us instantaneously. So, it's found it. It's
instantaneously. So, it's found it. It's
got the session UU ID and the message and it's going to integrate it right now, which is fantastic. And then once it's done that, we're going to test it with the question and then we'll be ready to rock and roll. And now
according to this is officially done.
So, why don't we ask it a question like, hey, what is the best thing to do when picking a brand new niche? Something
completely random. We hit enter. It's
now thinking in the background. Jack
Roberts is typing, which is really cool.
We're going to shut this one down and see what it comes back with. And then
we're going to build the exact same app using cord code to see how great it is.
Or we could use Gemini. We could use any application that we like. And guys, look at this. Instantaneously, when coming
at this. Instantaneously, when coming bumping a brand new niche, the best approach is to pick one specific niche.
Niching down. Focus on this. if you pre $10 million revenue. Now guys, we oneshotted this. That's never happened
oneshotted this. That's never happened before in these apps. We literally
connected it with the MCP and we're ready to rock and roll. And then if I come over to the billion dollar agent for example, and I come through to the executions and I refresh this, you can see November 29th, which is today, it
worked. No faffing around, no web hook
worked. No faffing around, no web hook things. This is so freaking cool. Even
things. This is so freaking cool. Even
use my rag database. This has made building apps so incredibly easy. So now
we're on level one. Let's take it up to level two. Beautiful. So now let's build
level two. Beautiful. So now let's build this together using cursor. Of course
you can do this in anti-gravity or any platform that you would like. So the
first thing they want to do is create a brand new folder. So I'm going to come down here and I'm going to come down to my desktop and let's create a beautiful new folder right here. And I'm going to call this one let's call this one
something like I don't know Christmas.
Yeah, beautiful. We like Christmas.
Let's call it Christmas. We come over click on file. Click on open folder and let's grab our beautiful Christmas document which is this guy right here.
Fantastic. Now what we want to do in the Christmas folder first of all obviously is connect cursor with our MCP and we can do that by clicking on cursor at the top. Come down to settings and click on
top. Come down to settings and click on cursor settings which is cool. Now
cursor settings is really cool. You can
see lots of different things in here.
You can upgrade to play do different things. You've got obviously the agents,
things. You've got obviously the agents, you've got models down here so you can decide all the things that you want to use or not want to use. But what we're really interested in here is the tools and the MCP. So we're going to come down
here to add custom MCP. And then it's asking for something in particular. So
what we do, so we come over to our website in NA10 and we click on access token. And then we click on this button
token. And then we click on this button here as you can see. And then we're going to click on regenerate right here.
And then that will add in the token for us, which is cool. And then we just copy it. Then we come back over to the
it. Then we come back over to the beautiful cursor. And then we just enter
beautiful cursor. And then we just enter in that code right there. And then we are ready to rock and roll. Once we get that up there, beautiful. Perfect. So,
we got MCP.json, which is fantastic. And
then we're going to save this one here.
Let me just make sure that we got this one already rock and roll. So,
beautiful. Now, we've done that, we are ready to rock and roll. So, we've added this guy in here. And let's have a look.
We are in the Christmas folder. What I'm
also going to do is really add the MCP level access here. So, to do that, we'll come down here and we are going to click on the editor, which is fantastic. And
let's do a brand new agent. And then
let's have a quick look at searching files. So, we can see this on the left
files. So, we can see this on the left hand side. Beautiful. Cool. So we're
hand side. Beautiful. Cool. So we're
going to come down here. We are going to go for a new file and we call this mcp.json.
mcp.json.
And in mcp.json, we're once again just going to post this one in here. And we
are going to have a rocking rolling great time. So let's just bring this one
great time. So let's just bring this one up so it's nice and crisp and clean and good to kick some butt. And once we've added in the MCP, we're going to give it a great prompt. I'd like you to build me a beautiful WhatsApp style chat
interface using the N8N MCP. You must
use this in the production of the actual build. I put the MCP JSON on the left
build. I put the MCP JSON on the left hand side. So you're ready to rock and
hand side. So you're ready to rock and roll. All we need to do guys is just
roll. All we need to do guys is just click the allow. You know, basically all this want to do there. So, it's going to try to connect to N10. That's absolutely
fine. We just click allow and let it work its magic in the background. And
guys, just like that, looks like it's finished. So, I'm going to say, hey,
finished. So, I'm going to say, hey, open it for me. And if this work properly, we should actually be able to see this thing live within cursor connected to MCP via any, which is
incredible. Or connect to any via MCP. I
incredible. Or connect to any via MCP. I
need another one of those coffees. So,
let's get it open. And obviously once it's done we can then publish it online and do anything that we want to which is very very cool. So it's opening up for us. And guys to be fair this does look
us. And guys to be fair this does look very WhatsAppappy. If I say something
very WhatsAppappy. If I say something like hey how can you help me? Okay
something really simple. We hit enter.
See what it says. I specialize in diagnosing the single biggest constraint in your business and one of four are errors. Leads conversions delivery
errors. Leads conversions delivery profit blah blah blah. What is the best way to pick a niche? whatever it is, right? We send this one off and again
right? We send this one off and again it's using the entire system that we've got in NA10 which is and look at the speed of this as well fully connected to NAM and when your workflows are activated in N10 guys you will see this
next available in MCP and just make sure that your scenario is active it has one of those four triggers web hooks or chat or time triggers click on this come down onto settings and make sure that you've
got MCP available and now we've covered how to connect NA10 to these AI apps for MCP the next thing that we need to do is learn How to build best-in-class AI operating systems which you can learn by
