Hi everyone,
I’ve been exploring MCP and integrating tools like n8n with Claude Code, and I’m trying to understand how practical this really is in real-world workflows.
From what I’ve seen, it looks powerful in terms of automation and connecting external tools, but I’m still unclear on a few things:
- Are you actually using MCP in production or just experimenting?
- How reliable is it when workflows get complex?
- Does combining it with n8n meaningfully improve productivity, or does it add more overhead?
- How do you handle security concerns when giving models access to external systems?
- Do you think this kind of setup could realistically replace parts of a developer’s workflow, or is it more of an assistant layer?
Would really appreciate hearing real experiences (good or bad)
