# Configuring the n8n SaaS Connector

To connect n8n to Agentic Fabric, you'll create an API key for n8n. This will allow Agentic Fabric to discover n8n workflows, AI agents, tools, MCP clients and servers, and stored credentials.

!!! important

If your organization has already configured a source for n8n SaaS, you can use the existing source for agent discovery. The fields will be prepopulated with the source's information. You can edit these fields to configure a new integration.

## Creating an API Key for n8n

1. Follow [n8n's product documentation](https://docs.n8n.io/connect/n8n-api/authentication#create-an-api-key) to create an API key. Grant the key only the permissions your organization requires for discovery and governance. Secret credential values are never returned by the n8n API. The connector only aggregates credential metadata.

2. Copy the API key and store it securely. You'll need the API key to connect the source to Agentic Fabric.

## Connecting n8n to Agentic Fabric

1. Go to the **Connect Source** step of the Agentic Fabric onboarding experience.
2. Select **n8n SaaS** from the left pane.
3. In the **n8n SaaS** section, complete the following:

- In the **Source Name** field, enter a unique name for the source.

- In the **Source Owner** field, select the identity who will own the source.

- In the **Description** field, enter a unique description for the source to distinguish it from similar connections.

4. In the **Configure Authentication** section, complete the following:

- In the **Base URL** field, enter the HTTPS base URL of your organization's n8n instance (`https://your-instance-name.app.n8n.cloud`). Use the URL your administrators publish for API access. Do not append /api/v1 paths.
      - In the **API Key** field, paste the API key from n8n.

5. Select **Test Connection** to ensure the connection is successful.

6. If the test is successful, select **Aggregate** to run an aggregation for the source. Select **Exit** to skip this step. You can configure aggregations for the source's [datasets](../../../sources/datasets.md#configuring-dataset-aggregations) later in the source's configuration. For information about the datasets specific to n8n, refer to the n8n [connector documentation](https://documentation.sailpoint.com/connectors/saas/n8n_cloud/help/saas_connectivity/n8n_cloud/datasets.html).

A **Completed** status is now displayed next to the source in the left panel.

7. Choose another connector to configure or select **Continue** to proceed to the next onboarding step.
