  "what": "Node-based visual workflow builder with 400+ integrations plus a full JavaScript and Python code node. Ships an <b>AI Agent</b> node, LangChain-style chains, an <b>MCP Client Tool</b> node, and an <b>MCP Server Trigger</b> that turns any workflow into an MCP server. Self-host free on your own box.",
  "why": "The escape hatch when Zapier gets expensive or too rigid: you are billed per workflow execution rather than per step, you can drop into code whenever the visual nodes run out, and self-hosting costs nothing.",
  "warn": "Licence is the <b>Sustainable Use License</b> (fair-code), not OSI open source: internal business use is fine, but reselling n8n as a service needs a commercial licence. Cloud bills per execution, and one execution can contain hundreds of nodes.",
