n8n Just Released Native MCP Trigger and AI Agent Tool [Official Walkthrough]

​@theflowgrammer breaks down n8n's new native MCP Server Trigger and AI Agent Tool, explaining exactly what MCP (Model Context Protocol) is, why it's important, and how to leverage it within your n8n workflows.

@anthropic-ai 's MCP is quickly becoming the go-to protocol in the AI community. Some community node implementations of the MCP protocol have existed previously but had various tech debt issues. n8n’s native implementation fixes those issues and is also available on n8n cloud.
