About n8n
n8n builds a 2.x line around AI agents while 1.x stays the stable rail
n8n is running two tracks at once: a 1.123.x stable line getting targeted bug fixes, and a 2.x line where the agentic work lives. The 2.23.0 release is dense with AI-builder features — episodic memory for agents, MCP-driven workflow creation and validation, agent-builder prompt tooling, and AI insights endpoints — alongside a long tail of node and core fixes. An experimental 2.22.4-exp.0 surfaces an MCP access toggle directly on workflow cards.
