N8n Mcp
A MCP for Claude Desktop / Claude Code / Windsurf / Cursor to build n8n workflows for you
Using N8n Mcp Skills
Use when building, editing, validating, testing, or debugging an n8n workflow through the n8n-mcp MCP server — designing a flow, configuring a node, writing an expression or Code node, wiring credentials, or fixing one that misbehaves. The entry-point skill for the n8n-mcp-skills pack: it routes you to the right specialist skill, gives working knowledge of every n8n-mcp tool from turn one, and st…
N8n Code Tool
Write JavaScript or Python for the n8n Custom Code Tool (@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.toolCode) — the AI-agent-callable tool, NOT the workflow Code node. Use when building a Code Tool attached to an AI Agent, writing code that an LLM will invoke, parsing the `query` input, returning a string result, defining an input schema for structured arguments (specifyInputSchema, jsonSchemaExample, DynamicStruc…
N8n Node Configuration
Operation-aware node configuration guidance. Use when configuring nodes, understanding property dependencies, determining required fields, choosing between get_node detail levels, or learning common configuration patterns by node type. Always use this skill when setting up node parameters — it explains which fields are required for each operation, how displayOptions control field visibility, and…
N8n Manager For Ai Agents
MCP server for Claude Desktop to manage your n8n workflows
N8n Workflow Patterns
Proven workflow architectural patterns from real n8n workflows. Use when building new workflows, designing workflow structure, choosing workflow patterns, planning workflow architecture, or asking about webhook processing, HTTP API integration, database operations, AI agent workflows, batch processing, or scheduled tasks. Always consult this skill when the user asks to create, build, or design an…
N8n Multi Instance
Use when an n8n-mcp account targets more than one n8n instance — i.e. the `n8n_instances` tool is available, the user mentions multiple n8n instances or environments (prod vs staging, several teams or clients), a workflow / datatable / credential / execution call returns an unexpected NOT_FOUND or reads data you don't recognize, or a credential create/update/delete is refused with an `INSTANCE_AM…
N8n Agents
Design n8n AI agents the right way. Use when building or editing any @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.* AI node — an AI Agent, LLM chain, Text Classifier, or Information Extractor — and whenever the user mentions AI agents, LLM with tools, tool calling, $fromAI, system prompts, agent memory, sessionId, structured/JSON output, output parser, RAG, vector store, a chat assistant/bot, or human-in-the-loop re…
N8n Code Python
Write Python code in n8n Code nodes. Use when writing Python in n8n, using _input/_json/_node syntax, working with standard library, or need to understand Python limitations in n8n Code nodes. Use this skill when the user specifically requests Python for an n8n Code node. Note — JavaScript is recommended for 95% of use cases — only use Python when the user explicitly prefers it or the task requir…
N8n Mcp Tools Expert
Expert guide for using n8n-mcp MCP tools effectively. Use when searching for nodes, validating configurations, accessing templates, managing workflows, managing credentials, auditing instance security, or using any n8n-mcp tool. Provides tool selection guidance, parameter formats, and common patterns. IMPORTANT — Always consult this skill before calling any n8n-mcp tool — it prevents common mista…
N8n Code Javascript
Write JavaScript code in n8n Code nodes. Use when writing JavaScript in n8n, using $input/$json/$node syntax, making HTTP requests with this.helpers / the $helpers global, working with dates using DateTime, troubleshooting Code node errors, choosing between Code node modes, or doing any custom data transformation in n8n. Always use this skill when a workflow needs a Code node — whether for data a…
N8n Self Hosting
Deploy a production self-hosted n8n end-to-end to a fresh Linux VM over SSH, using Docker Compose behind a Caddy reverse proxy with automatic HTTPS. Use whenever the user wants to self-host, install, set up, provision, or deploy n8n on their own server/VPS/box (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS EC2, bare metal, etc.) — in either single/regular mode or queue mode with workers — or to update, back up, res…
N8n Validation Expert
Interpret validation errors and guide fixing them. Use when encountering validation errors, validation warnings, false positives, operator structure issues, or need help understanding validation results. Also use when asking about validation profiles, error types, the validation loop process, or auto-fix capabilities. Consult this skill whenever a validate_node or validate_workflow call returns e…
N8n Subworkflows
Build reusable, composable n8n sub-workflows. Use when extracting shared logic, building anything multi-step or reused across workflows, or any workflow over ~10 nodes — and whenever the user mentions sub-workflows, Execute Workflow, reuse, shared/common logic, modular workflows, "Define Below" inputs, waitForSubWorkflow, mode each vs all, or exposing a workflow as an agent tool. Covers typed sub…
N8n Binary And Data
Handle files and binary data in n8n correctly. Use when working with files, images, PDFs, attachments, uploads or downloads, base64, vision/multimodal input, or when an AI agent needs a file as tool input or output — and whenever the user mentions $binary, binaryPropertyName, "read the PDF", "attach the file", "send the image", Merge losing binary, or a CDN for chat images. Covers the $binary vs…
N8n Error Handling
Wire n8n error handling so failures are loud, structured, and recoverable. Use when building any webhook/API workflow, a scheduled or unattended workflow, or any path where a silent failure would drop user-visible work — and whenever the user mentions error handling, onError, continueErrorOutput, error branches/outputs, retries, retryOnFail, Respond to Webhook status codes, 4xx/5xx, Error Trigger…
N8n Expression Syntax
Validate n8n expression syntax and fix common errors. Use when writing n8n expressions, using {{}} syntax, accessing $json/$node variables, troubleshooting expression errors, mapping data between nodes, or referencing webhook data in workflows. Use this skill whenever configuring node fields that reference data from previous nodes — expressions are how n8n passes data between nodes, and getting t…
