Connect n8n so Myrmex can work with your automation workflows. Myrmex operates the n8n REST API live using an API key — reading and acting on demand, with nothing stored on the Myrmex side. For a self-hosted n8n on your private network, reach it through a Collector.

​
What Myrmex Can Do

Inspect workflows

List workflows and review their configuration on demand.

Check executions

Look up execution history and status when you ask.

Trigger automation

Run workflows as part of an automated response — with approval, via Hydra.

Orchestrate

Connect n8n automations to your other integrations.

​
Before You Start

  • Your n8n base URL (for example n8n.your-domain.com).
  • An n8n account that can create an API key.
  • A Collector if the n8n instance is on your private network.

​
Step 1 — Create the API Key in n8n

n8n authenticates with an API key that Myrmex sends in the X-N8N-API-KEY header.
1

Sign in to n8n

Log in with an account that can manage API keys.
2

Open the API settings

Go to Settings → n8n API.
3

Create and copy the key

Create an API key, label it (for example Myrmex), and copy it — keep it somewhere safe.
You can revoke or rotate the key from the same screen at any time.

​
Step 2 — Add the Integration in Myrmex

From the Directory, choose Add Integration → n8n, then fill in:
The authentication type (api-key) and header name (X-N8N-API-KEY) are preset for this connector — you only provide the key itself.

​
Connect

Click Connect to validate the connection and finish. n8n then appears under Environment → Integrations. New to integrations? See the Integrations overview.
