Keep your workflows. Let your bots run them.

You talk to one Chief of Staff. It builds the team, and each bot runs the engine that suits its job, on the plan or key you already have. An engine is the AI that does a bot’s thinking. To run teams and use tools, pick a tool-capable one: Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, or the built-in Fuigo engine with a supported model. A plain OpenAI-compatible endpoint works for chat and drafting only. Portraits made with Murage’s own avatar generator. See every engine

Keep your workflows. Your bots run them.

Your n8n workflows become tools your team can use.

Your bots run your n8n workflows as tools through n8n’s MCP server (MCP servers are plug-ins that give bots new tools), and a workflow can start a Murage task through a local webhook (cloud senders need a tunnel). Deeper built-in n8n support is coming. n8n keeps doing what it does best: workflows you can see and control, including AI agent steps. Your Chief of Staff decides when a job needs one.

Where your work lives.

Your computer

MemoryFilesChats

Your memory, files and chats are stored on your computer. What a bot sends to your AI, and to any app or service you connect, goes to them.

n8n

A machine you host

MemoryConfig

n8n runs in its cloud, or on a server you set up and keep running.

Who does the work.

You brief one Chief of Staff. It builds a team of specialists for the job, and the team keeps its memory for next time. You can put a reviewer on any team to check work before it reaches you. Portraits made with Murage’s own avatar generator.

n8n

You build each workflow or agent on the canvas, step by step. Your Murage bots can run those workflows as tools.

What Murage adds for an n8n user.

The brief

“Go through my inbox before I get in. Draft replies in my voice. Send nothing.”

What came back

Twelve emails came in. The team drafted eight replies, set four aside, and left two questions only the owner could answer. Nothing was sent.

Keep your workflows. Add a team on top

You don’t have to choose. Switch on n8n’s MCP server in Murage and your bots run your workflows as tools, or let a workflow start a Murage task with a webhook.

Describe the outcome, not the steps

Brief your Chief of Staff in plain English, and it builds a team of named bots, each with a role, memory and the apps it needs. Keep the canvas for the steps that must never change.

Bots that do the work itself

Each bot runs Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, a local model or an API key, so it can research, write and build in your folders, then hand fixed steps to a workflow.

Asks first, by default

New bots start on Ask. On Full access, a bot stops before messaging anyone new, posting publicly, paying, or deleting outside its folder, unless you have allowed it for that task. On Hermes and other ACP engines, Ask and the stop line cover only what the engine asks Murage about: shell commands and file edits.

Where n8n is ahead.

Fair’s fair. If one of these matters most to you, it may be the better choice today.

1
Always on, with triggers
Workflows fire on schedules and app events around the clock, in n8n’s cloud or on your server. Murage runs while your computer is on, until Murage Cloud opens.
2
Its integrations, for your bots too
Its 1,500+ integrations are there for your bots too, through your workflows.
3
Repeatable, inspectable workflows
You can inspect every execution on the canvas. That suits a process that must run the same way every time.
4
Self-hosting and compliance
Run the Community edition on your own server for free. n8n aligns its security program to SOC 2, with annual independent audits.

Which should you choose?

Choose Murage if

You’d rather describe the job to a Chief of Staff than wire every step
You want bots that research, write and build in your folders, then hand fixed steps to your workflows
You want memory and files stored on your own computer
You want everyone on your staff to have it, with no Murage seat fees

Questions about Murage and n8n.

Does Murage work with n8n?

Yes, today, in both directions. Add n8n’s MCP server in Murage and switch it on, and every bot whose engine can use MCP tools can run your workflows. And an n8n workflow can start a Murage bot’s task by calling a Murage webhook. The webhook listens on your own computer, so a workflow on n8n Cloud needs a tunnel to reach it. Deeper, built-in n8n support is on the way.

Can Murage replace my n8n workflows?

For work that needs judgment, like research, drafting and follow-up, a Murage team is often simpler to set up. For fixed, high-volume automations that must fire around the clock, keep n8n. You can use both, and they already work together.

Does Murage connect to the same apps?

Murage connects 1,500+ apps, including Gmail, Slack, Notion and GitHub, through Flux Router credits or your own connected-apps key, plus MCP servers. n8n covers more, and your bots can reach those through your workflows.

Can my staff use it too?

Yes. Each person runs Murage on their own computer, with their own AI sign-in. Build a team once, export it, and everyone imports the same bots, skills and routines; logins never travel. Bots can post drafts to your team’s Slack channels through connected apps, with your approval. Shared always-on workspaces will come with Murage Cloud, which isn’t open yet.

Is Murage made by n8n?

No. Murage is an independent open-source project. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by n8n.
