Blinkbox MCP Server

Open-source automation platform (Zapier / Make / n8n alternative) with a native MCP server - connect Claude Code, Cursor or ChatGPT and let the agent build, run and debug your workflows. It is available as a remote MCP endpoint.

Teams that work with automation, n8n alternative and no code and want a hosted endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in JavaScript.
