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 states the rules that keep workflows from breaking in production. Always consult it first on any n8n, workflow, node, or automation task — even a quick one-off, and even when the user names no skill — because n8n's surface drifts between versions and the specialist skills prevent silent failures.\"\n---\n\n# Using the n8n-mcp Skills\n\nThis is a **router**, not a reference. It tells you which skill owns the rules for what\nyou're about to do. The skill bodies hold the actual guidance — invoke them with the\nSkill tool. When in doubt, load more skills rather than fewer.\n\nThe community **n8n-mcp** server and n8n itself move faster than any model's training\ncutoff. Tool names, parameters, node `typeVersion`s, and default behaviors drift between\nreleases. When you spot drift — a tool a skill names doesn't exist, a parameter shape\ndoesn't match what `get_node` returns, behavior differs from what a skill describes —\ntrust the **live tool**, tell the user, and suggest updating the pack and the instance.\n\n## Non-negotiables\n\nThree rules with no exceptions. Each one prevents a class of workflow that looks correct\nbut breaks in production.\n\n1. **Invoke the relevant skill before any n8n action** — not just before MCP calls.\n   Before writing an expression, configuring a node, designing a workflow, wiring a\n   connection, or writing Code, invoke the matching skill. PreToolUse hooks remind you on\n   the highest-impact tool calls, but they exist **only in the Claude Code plugin\n   install**. Everywhere else — Claude.ai skill uploads, and any client that loads this\n   pack as an Agent Plugin (Codex, Cursor, Copilot and the rest) — nothing nudges you and\n   the responsibility is entirely yours. Assume you are un-hooked unless you have seen a\n   hook fire this session.\n2. **Validate AND verify before activating.** Run `validate_workflow` (or\n   `n8n_validate_workflow` by id) before you activate, and call `n8n_get_workflow` after\n   every create or update to inspect the `connections` object. Validation alone misses\n   silently dropped wires, Merge index off-by-one, and error outputs that were never\n   wired. Validation passing means the JSON is well-formed — not that the workflow is\n   correct.\n3. **Secrets never go in text fields.** Tokens, API keys, and passwords always go through\n   the n8n credential system. If no native node exists, use the HTTP Request node with\n   the official credential type. A Set node holding a token referenced via `{{ $json.token }}`\n   is a leak with extra steps. See `n8n-mcp-tools-expert`.\n\n## Lean on skills, not training data\n\nn8n changes constantly. \"Remembered\" parameter names are often silently wrong — they\nvalidate as plain strings and then do nothing at runtime. Trust the skills and the live\ntools (`get_node`, `search_nodes`, `tools_documentation`) over recollection. If a skill\ncontradicts your memory, trust the skill. If `get_node` contradicts a skill, trust the\ntool and flag the drift.\n\n## Strong defaults\n\nEach skill owns its own exceptions; these are the defaults.\n\n- **The Code node is a last resort.** Expression first, then an arrow function inside Edit\n  Fields, then a Code node only when neither can do the job. See `n8n-code-javascript`.\n- **A Set node feeding 0–1 consumers is almost always wrong.** Inline the expression at\n  the consumer instead. See `n8n-expression-syntax`.\n- **Per-item iteration is automatic.** Don't add a Loop Over Items node to \"make it loop\"\n  when default per-item execution already handles the case.\n- **Configure from the live schema, never from memory.** `get_node` before you set\n  parameters. See `n8n-node-configuration`.\n\n## Red flags: \"about to ___\" → invoke ___\n\nIf you catch yourself thinking any of these, stop and invoke the named skill first.\n\n| Thought | Invoke |\n|---|---|\n| \"This workflow is simple, I'll just build it\" | `n8n-workflow-patterns` — most \"simple\" flows ship at 10+ nodes |\n| \"I'll add a Set node to map these fields\" | `n8n-expression-syntax` — Set feeding ≤1 consumer is the #1 antipattern |\n| \"I'll just use a Code node, it's easier\" | `n8n-code-javascript` — the bar is high; most reaches are expressions or Edit Fields |\n| \"The user mentioned data, I'll write Python\" | `n8n-code-javascript` — default JS; Python (`n8n-code-python`) only on explicit ask |\n| \"I'm writing code an AI agent will call\" | `n8n-code-tool` — a different runtime contract from the Code node |\n| \"Date math — I'll drop in a DateTime node\" | `n8n-expression-syntax` — Luxon inline is almost always right |\n| \"I'll wire a Merge with 3 sources\" | `n8n-node-configuration` — Merge defaults to 2 inputs; the 3rd silently drops |\n| \"Validation passed, I'm ready to activate\" | `n8n-validation-expert` + `n8n-workflow-patterns` — run the antipattern scan |\n| \"Validation threw an error I don't understand\" | `n8n-validation-expert` — what each error and warning means, and which are must-fix vs. best-practice advice |\n| \"I'll reference `$json.x` here\" | `n8n-expression-syntax` — prefer `$('Node').item.json.x` in branchy workflows |\n| \"This webhook/scheduled flow is happy-path only\" | `n8n-error-handling` — wire an error branch on every fallible node; 4xx caller faults, 5xx yours |\n| \"I'll pass this file/image through as JSON\" | `n8n-binary-and-data` — file contents live in `$binary`, and can't cross the agent-tool boundary |\n| \"I'll wire up an AI agent and give the model some tools\" | `n8n-agents` — tool names & descriptions ARE the prompt; memory, structured output, and topology have traps |\n| \"I'll copy this logic into another workflow\" / \"this is getting big\" | `n8n-subworkflows` — extract a reusable sub-workflow; search before building |\n| \"I'll create that credential / open that workflow\" (account has >1 instance) | `n8n-multi-instance` — every call hits the currently-targeted instance; reads misroute silently, and an ambiguous credential write fails closed with `INSTANCE_AMBIGUOUS` |\n\n## Skill index\n\n| Skill | Reach for it when |\n|---|---|\n| `using-n8n-mcp-skills` | This router (auto-loaded). Names the skill that owns your task. |\n| `n8n-mcp-tools-expert` | Choosing or calling any n8n-mcp tool; node discovery; credentials; data tables; security audit; templates |\n| `n8n-workflow-patterns` | Designing or building a workflow; picking an architecture (webhook / HTTP API / database / AI agent / scheduled / batch) |\n| `n8n-node-configuration` | Configuring any node; operation-aware required fields; property dependencies; surgical field edits |\n| `n8n-expression-syntax` | Writing `{{ }}`, `$json`/`$node`/`$now`; mapping data between nodes; the transform gatekeeper; Set-node discipline |\n| `n8n-validation-expert` | Interpreting validation errors/warnings; false positives; the validation loop; auto-fix; reviewing an existing workflow |\n| `n8n-code-javascript` | Any Code node in JavaScript; data access; `this.helpers`; DateTime; SplitInBatches loop patterns |\n| `n8n-code-python` | A Code node specifically requested in Python; standard-library limits |\n| `n8n-code-tool` | The AI-agent-callable Custom Code Tool (`toolCode`) — returns a string, no `$fromAI`/`$input` |\n| `n8n-error-handling` | Webhook/API or unattended workflows; wiring error outputs; retries; 4xx/5xx response shapes; silent failures |\n| `n8n-binary-and-data` | Files, images, PDFs, attachments, uploads/downloads, vision; passing a file to/from an agent tool |\n| `n8n-subworkflows` | Reusable / multi-step builds; Execute Workflow; extracting shared logic; Define-Below inputs; all-vs-each; exposing a workflow as an agent tool |\n| `n8n-agents` | AI Agent / LLM-with-tools / Text Classifier; tool design & `$fromAI`; system prompts; structured output; memory; RAG; human review; chat bots |\n| `n8n-multi-instance` | Accounts with multiple instances (the `n8n_instances` tool is present); switching the target instance; verifying before credential writes; recovering from an unexpected `NOT_FOUND`, wrong/empty reads, or an `INSTANCE_AMBIGUOUS` credential-write fail-close |\n| `n8n-self-hosting` | *Deployment, not workflow-building* — self-hosting / installing / deploying n8n on a VM (Docker Compose + Caddy, single vs queue mode), or updating / backing up / hardening it. Triggers on its own; not part of the build flow above. |\n\n## n8n-mcp tools — working knowledge from turn one\n\nQualified names look like `mcp__<server>__<tool>` (`<server>` is usually `n8n-mcp`). This\ncloses the gap where a tool's full description isn't loaded until first use.\n\n**Two tiers, and how to tell which one you have.** The documentation and validation tools\nbelow work offline and are always present. The `n8n_*` management tools talk to a live n8n\ninstance and appear **only once one is connected**. If they are absent, nothing is broken\nand there is nothing to retry — say so plainly and point the user at the right fix for\ntheir install:\n\n- **Hosted (`https://api.n8n-mcp.com/mcp`)** — sign in through the OAuth prompt the client\n  shows on first use, then connect the n8n instance in the dashboard. No environment\n  variables, and no API key pasted into a config file.\n- **Self-hosted (`npx n8n-mcp`, Docker)** — the server needs `N8N_API_URL` and\n  `N8N_API_KEY` in its environment, exported before the client starts.\n\n`n8n_health_check` confirms a working connection and returns the resolved instance.\n\n**Discovery & docs**\n- `tools_documentation` — meta-docs for every tool; `{topic:\"ai_agents_guide\", depth:\"full\"}` for the agent guide.\n- `search_nodes` — find nodes by keyword.\n- `get_node` — node info. Takes a single **SHORT-form** `nodeType` (`nodes-base.httpRequest`, `nodes-langchain.agent`), plus `detail` (minimal/standard/full) and `mode` (info/docs/search_properties/versions).\n- `validate_node` — validate one node's config in isolation (profiles: minimal/runtime/ai-friendly/strict).\n- `search_templates` / `get_template` — the template library (by keyword, nodes, task, metadata).\n\n**Build & edit**\n- `n8n_create_workflow` — create from full workflow JSON.\n- `n8n_update_partial_workflow` — incremental diff ops (`{id, operations:[…]}`): addNode, updateNode, patchNodeField, addConnection, setNodeGroups, activateWorkflow, etc. Preferred for edits.\n- **Canvas groups** (n8n 2.28+) survive your edits without being managed: a grouped node you remove is pruned from its group, and a group n8n can no longer accept is ungrouped so the edit still lands — nodes and connections untouched, every adjustment reported in `details.warnings`. To create or change groups, use the `setNodeGroups` op (full replacement; `[]` ungroups everything). See `n8n-mcp-tools-expert`.\n- `n8n_update_full_workflow` — full replacement.\n- `n8n_autofix_workflow` — auto-fix common issues.\n- `n8n_deploy_template` — deploy a template to the instance.\n\n**Validate** (necessary, not sufficient — always pair with the antipattern scan)\n- `validate_workflow` — full JSON in, errors/warnings/fixes out. Node types here are **LONG form** (`n8n-nodes-base.set`).\n- `n8n_validate_workflow` — validate a deployed workflow by `{id}` (no node JSON to inspect).\n\n**Inspect & lifecycle**\n- `n8n_get_workflow` — fetch a workflow (full / structure / active / filtered / minimal). Use it to verify `connections` after edits; `mode=\"filtered\"` + `nodeNames` reads one heavy node (e.g. long Code source) without pulling the whole workflow, which can truncate client-side.\n- `n8n_list_workflows` — list/filter (search before duplicating logic).\n- `n8n_delete_workflow`, `n8n_workflow_versions` (history/rollback/diff; `source: \"local\"` = n8n-mcp's own snapshots, `source: \"native\"` = n8n'","tagline":"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.
