N8n OpenAI-Compatible API Endpoints
Transform your n8n workflows into OpenAI-compatible API endpoints, allowing you to access multiple workflows as selectable AI models through a single integration.
What This Does
This workflow creates two API endpoints that mimic the OpenAI API structure:
/models- Lists all n8n workflows tagged withaimodel(or any other tag of your choice)/chat/completions- Executes chat completions with your selected workflows, supporting both text and stream responses
Benefits
Access Multiple Workflows: Connect to all your n8n agents through one API endpoint instead of creating separate pipelines for each workflow.
Universal Platform Support: Works with any application that supports OpenAI-compatible APIs, including OpenWebUI, Microsoft Teams, Zoho Cliq, and Slack.
Simple Workflow Management: Add new workflows by tagging them with aimodel . No code changes needed.
Streaming Support: Handles both standard responses and streaming for real-time agent interactions .
How to Use
- Download the workflow JSON file from this repository
- Import it into your n8n instance
- Tag your workflows with
aimodelto make them accessible through the API - Create a new OpenAI credential in n8n and change the Base URL to point to your n8n webhook endpoints . Learn more about OpenAI Credentials
- Point your chat applications to your n8n webhook URL as if it were an OpenAI API endpoint
Requirements
- n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud)
- Workflows you want to expose as AI models
- Any OpenAI-compatible chat application
