What is the Nr MCP Server?

MCP server for Node-RED — safe deploy, optimistic locking, smart search, 13 tools

The short version

Built to solve real problems: the existing Node-RED MCP implementations use PUT /flow/:id which reorders your tabs. nr-mcp uses the correct GET → POST /flows pattern with optimistic locking, so your tab order is always preserved.

What it needs from you

  • Python 3.11+ - uv (recommended) or pip - Node-RED instance with Admin API enabled
