- [czlonkowski/n8n-mcp](https://seerepo.com/r/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp): A MCP for Claude Desktop / Claude Code / Windsurf / Cursor to build n8n workflows for you 
- [paperclipai/paperclip](https://seerepo.com/r/paperclipai/paperclip): The open-source app everyone uses to manage agents at work

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: Express, MCP, OpenAI, Vite, React, Zod
- Only in n8n-mcp: SQLite, lru-cache, sql.js, js-yaml
- Only in paperclip: Postgres, Google, AWS S3, Tokio, Anthropic, Sentry, Svix, react-router-dom, yaml, @opentelemetry/resources, @clack/prompts, Drizzle, hmac, react-markdown, remark-gfm, jsonschema, Ajv, @daytonaio/sdk, three, Better Auth, ai, @ai-sdk/amazon-bedrock, sharp, dompurify, ajv-formats, opentelemetry, pino, Tailwind CSS, class-variance-authority, tailwind-merge, Radix UI, motion, dnd-kit, lexical, @lezer/highlight, Base UI, cmdk, CodeMirror, Mermaid, react-resizable-panels, xterm, Lucide, @assistant-ui/react

| Activity | Last push November 3, 2026, 1,167 commits, 23,208 stars | Last push November 4, 2026, 5,942 commits, 111,002 stars |
| Tests | 358 test files. 62.5% of its code files have a test that imports them | 4,571 test files. 60.3% of its code files have a test that imports them |

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
