Vue d’ensemble
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 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.

Using the n8n-mcp Skills
This is a router, not a reference. It tells you which skill owns the rules for what you're about to do. The skill bodies hold the actual guidance — invoke them with the Skill tool. When in doubt, load more skills rather than fewer.
The community n8n-mcp server and n8n itself move faster than any model's training
cutoff. Tool names, parameters, node typeVersions, and default behaviors drift between
releases. When you spot drift — a tool a skill names doesn't exist, a parameter shape
doesn't match what get_node returns, behavior differs from what a skill describes —
trust the live tool, tell the user, and suggest updating the pack and the instance.
Non-negotiables
Three rules with no exceptions. Each one prevents a class of workflow that looks correct but breaks in production.
- Invoke the relevant skill before any n8n action — not just before MCP calls. Before writing an expression, configuring a node, designing a workflow, wiring a connection, or writing Code, invoke the matching skill. PreToolUse hooks remind you on the highest-impact tool calls, but they exist only in the Claude Code plugin install. Everywhere else — Claude.ai skill uploads, and any client that loads this pack as an Agent Plugin (Codex, Cursor, Copilot and the rest) — nothing nudges you and the responsibility is entirely yours. Assume you are un-hooked unless you have seen a hook fire this session.
- Validate AND verify before activating. Run
validate_workflow(orn8n_validate_workflowby id) before you activate, and calln8n_get_workflowafter every create or update to inspect theconnectionsobject. Validation alone misses silently dropped wires, Merge index off-by-one, and error outputs that were never wired. Validation passing means the JSON is well-formed — not that the workflow is correct. - Secrets never go in text fields. Tokens, API keys, and passwords always go through
the n8n credential system. If no native node exists, use the HTTP Request node with
the official credential type. A Set node holding a token referenced via
{{ $json.token }}is a leak with extra steps. Seen8n-mcp-tools-expert.
Lean on skills, not training data
n8n changes constantly. "Remembered" parameter names are often silently wrong — they
validate as plain strings and then do nothing at runtime. Trust the skills and the live
tools (get_node, search_nodes, tools_documentation) over recollection. If a skill
contradicts your memory, trust the skill. If get_node contradicts a skill, trust the
tool and flag the drift.
Strong defaults
Each skill owns its own exceptions; these are the defaults.
- The Code node is a last resort. Expression first, then an arrow function inside Edit
Fields, then a Code node only when neither can do the job. See
n8n-code-javascript. - A Set node feeding 0–1 consumers is almost always wrong. Inline the expression at
the consumer instead. See
n8n-expression-syntax. - Per-item iteration is automatic. Don't add a Loop Over Items node to "make it loop" when default per-item execution already handles the case.
- Configure from the live schema, never from memory.
get_nodebefore you set parameters. Seen8n-node-configuration.
Red flags: "about to ___" → invoke ___
If you catch yourself thinking any of these, stop and invoke the named skill first.
| Thought | Invoke |
|---|---|
| "This workflow is simple, I'll just build it" | n8n-workflow-patterns — most "simple" flows ship at 10+ nodes |
| "I'll add a Set node to map these fields" | n8n-expression-syntax — Set feeding ≤1 consumer is the #1 antipattern |
| "I'll just use a Code node, it's easier" | n8n-code-javascript — the bar is high; most reaches are expressions or Edit Fields |
| "The user mentioned data, I'll write Python" | n8n-code-javascript — default JS; Python (n8n-code-python) only on explicit ask |
| "I'm writing code an AI agent will call" | n8n-code-tool — a different runtime contract from the Code node |
| "Date math — I'll drop in a DateTime node" | n8n-expression-syntax — Luxon inline is almost always right |
| "I'll wire a Merge with 3 sources" | n8n-node-configuration — Merge defaults to 2 inputs; the 3rd silently drops |
| "Validation passed, I'm ready to activate" | n8n-validation-expert + n8n-workflow-patterns — run the antipattern scan |
| "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 |
"I'll reference $json.x here" | n8n-expression-syntax — prefer $('Node').item.json.x in branchy workflows |
| "This webhook/scheduled flow is happy-path only" | n8n-error-handling — wire an error branch on every fallible node; 4xx caller faults, 5xx yours |
| "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 |
| "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 |
| "I'll copy this logic into another workflow" / "this is getting big" | n8n-subworkflows — extract a reusable sub-workflow; search before building |
| "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 |

n8n-mcp tools — working knowledge from turn one
Qualified names look like mcp__<server>__<tool> (<server> is usually n8n-mcp). This
closes the gap where a tool's full description isn't loaded until first use.
Two tiers, and how to tell which one you have. The documentation and validation tools
below work offline and are always present. The n8n_* management tools talk to a live n8n
instance and appear only once one is connected. If they are absent, nothing is broken
and there is nothing to retry — say so plainly and point the user at the right fix for
their install:
- Hosted (
https://api.n8n-mcp.com/mcp) — sign in through the OAuth prompt the client shows on first use, then connect the n8n instance in the dashboard. No environment variables, and no API key pasted into a config file. - Self-hosted (
npx n8n-mcp, Docker) — the server needsN8N_API_URLandN8N_API_KEYin its environment, exported before the client starts.
n8n_health_check confirms a working connection and returns the resolved instance.
Discovery & docs
tools_documentation— meta-docs for every tool;{topic:"ai_agents_guide", depth:"full"}for the agent guide.search_nodes— find nodes by keyword.get_node— node info. Takes a single SHORT-formnodeType(nodes-base.httpRequest,nodes-langchain.agent), plusdetail(minimal/standard/full) andmode(info/docs/search_properties/versions).validate_node— validate one node's config in isolation (profiles: minimal/runtime/ai-friendly/strict).search_templates/get_template— the template library (by keyword, nodes, task, metadata).
Build & edit
n8n_create_workflow— create from full workflow JSON.n8n_update_partial_workflow— incremental diff ops ({id, operations:[…]}): addNode, updateNode, patchNodeField, addConnection, setNodeGroups, activateWorkflow, etc. Preferred for edits.- 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 thesetNodeGroupsop (full replacement;[]ungroups everything). Seen8n-mcp-tools-expert. n8n_update_full_workflow— full replacement.n8n_autofix_workflow— auto-fix common issues.n8n_deploy_template— deploy a template to the instance.

# Using the n8n-mcp Skills
This is a **router**, not a reference. It tells you which skill owns the rules for what
you're about to do. The skill bodies hold the actual guidance — invoke them with the
Skill tool. When in doubt, load more skills rather than fewer.
The community **n8n-mcp** server and n8n itself move faster than any model's training
cutoff. Tool names, parameters, node `typeVersion`s, and default behaviors drift between
releases. When you spot drift — a tool a skill names doesn't exist, a parameter shape
doesn't match what `get_node` returns, behavior differs from what a skill describes —
trust the **live tool**, tell the user, and suggest updating the pack and the instance.
## Non-negotiables
Three rules with no exceptions. Each one prevents a class of workflow that looks correct
but breaks in production.
1. **Invoke the relevant skill before any n8n action** — not just before MCP calls.
Before writing an expression, configuring a node, designing a workflow, wiring a
connection, or writing Code, invoke the matching skill. PreToolUse hooks remind you on
the highest-impact tool calls, but they exist **only in the Claude Code plugin
install**. Everywhere else — Claude.ai skill uploads, and any client that loads this
pack as an Agent Plugin (Codex, Cursor, Copilot and the rest) — nothing nudges you and
the responsibility is entirely yours. Assume you are un-hooked unless you have seen a
hook fire this session.
2. **Validate AND verify before activating.** Run `validate_workflow` (or
`n8n_validate_workflow` by id) before you activate, and call `n8n_get_workflow` after
every create or update to inspect the `connections` object. Validation alone misses
silently dropped wires, Merge index off-by-one, and error outputs that were never
wired. Validation passing means the JSON is well-formed — not that the workflow is
correct.
3. **Secrets never go in text fields.** Tokens, API keys, and passwords always go through
the n8n credential system. If no native node exists, use the HTTP Request node with
the official credential type. A Set node holding a token referenced via `{{ $json.token }}`
is a leak with extra steps. See `n8n-mcp-tools-expert`.

Prompt d’installation Codex
Install the "using-n8n-mcp-skills" agent skill from https://github.com/czlonkowski/n8n-skills/tree/main/skills/using-n8n-mcp-skills. Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: 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 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. After the install attempt, report the result to https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/outcome with POST JSON {"event_id":"install_<unique-id>","skill_slug":"czlonkowski-using-n8n-mcp-skills","task":"Install using-n8n-mcp-skills","agent":"codex","outcome":"success","install_used":true}. Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes.

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.",
