One MCP Server in n8n = Control All AI Tools (Claude, Cursor) | Zero Prompt Engineering

Discover how to harness the power of Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect your AI tools seamlessly! In this comprehensive tutorial, I show you how to set up an MCP server in n8n that works like a universal connector (just like USB!) for AI tools like Claude and Cursor IDE. No more complex prompt engineering - MCP allows AI models to automatically understand tool capabilities and use them intelligently. Learn how to implement this Anthropic-created protocol that's now supported by OpenAI and other major AI companies to create powerful AI workflows without writing lengthy prompts. I demonstrate how to create a Google Calendar event through MCP, set up the MCP client in n8n, and connect the same MCP server to both Claude AI and Cursor IDE. This Model Context Protocol implementation works across different AI assistants, making it the future of AI agent integration. If you're looking to streamline your AI workflows, this n8n MCP tutorial is exactly what you need! 🔗 Links Mentioned in Video 🔗 👉 n8n workflow platform: https://bit.ly/lakshit_n8n 👉 Workflow Template: https://bit.ly/n8n_template ⏱️ Timestamps ⏱️ 00:00 MCP Demo with Google Calendar 00:25 What is MCP?
