Mirrors the Notion two-tab pattern: n8n's own hosted MCP server (n8n Cloud workspaces only, per-user OAuth with dynamic client registration or a personal access token) as the default tab, with the existing self-hosted/Cloud REST API integration as the second tab.

Summary
n8n ships its own hosted MCP server in addition to the REST API C1 already wraps as an MCP server. This adds a second tab to the n8n setup page so admins can tell the two apart and set up either one:
The Cloud-vs-self-hosted scope limit is called out at the very top of the intro (not just in the comparison table), since it's the single biggest thing an admin needs to get right for this vendor. The intro/recommendation prose and comparison table are explicit about which catalog entry ("n8n" vs "n8n API") each option maps to. The existing n8n API tab's content is otherwise unchanged aside from wrapping it in a tab and updating its catalog-name references.
All external n8n reference links were checked and are live.
