This guide shows you how to connect **n8n** to your DashThis account using the MCP Connector. Once connected, your workflows can ask about your dashboards and get answers from your live reporting data. ### Before you start - You need an **n8n account**. Both **n8n Cloud and self-hosted n8n** connect the same way. - You sign in with your usual DashThis credentials during setup. ### Connect n8n to DashThis 1. **Add** an **AI Agent** node to your workflow, then attach an **MCP Client Tool** to it. 2. **Enter** https://mcp.dashthis.com/mcp in the **Endpoint** field. 3. **Set** **Transport** to **HTTP Streamable**. 4. **Choose** **MCP OAuth2** under **Authentication**, then create a new credential. 5. Leave **Use Dynamic Client Registration** turned on. You do not need a client ID or a client secret. 6. **Enter** the same address as step 2 in the **Server URL** field. 7. **Leave** the **Resource URL** field empty. n8n finds it on its own. 8. **Click** **Connect my account**, sign in to DashThis, and approve access. ### Check that it worked Run the node and ask it to list your dashboards. If you get your real dashboard names back, the connection is working. The connection also stays active on its own, so if n8n asks you to sign in again an hour later, something went wrong during setup. ### What n8n can see n8n can only read the dashboards on the DashThis account you connected, and the connection is **read-only**, so it cannot change anything in DashThis. For the full list of what the connector can and cannot do, see [MCP notes and limitations](https://help.dashthis.com/mcp-notes/limitations?hsLang=en). **The node returns "MCP access isn't enabled"** This message means the DashThis account you signed in with does not have MCP access turned on. It is not a problem with your n8n setup, so contact our Support Team and we will check your account. If you get a connection error instead, check that your endpoint ends in **/mcp** and is not just the root address.   ### Need help connecting n8n? ### Contact our Support Team [here](https://help.dashthis.com/kb-tickets/new?hsLang=en) 💪🏼   --- What's next?
