`n8n_list_workflows`

Pack: n8n · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/n8n_list_workflows for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

List workflows in YOUR n8n instance, with an active/inactive breakdown. Answers “how many active workflows do we have”, “list our n8n workflows”, “which workflows are turned on”. Each workflow: id, name, active (on/off), createdAt, updatedAt, tags. Set active_only:true to list just the live ones. Requires your instance_url + n8n API key (_apiKey).

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`active_only`	boolean	no	Only return active (turned-on) workflows. Default false (all).
`limit`	number	no	Max workflows to fetch (1-250, default 100).
