Expert skills for building n8n workflows with the n8n-mcp MCP server
What n8n-mcp-skills does, in the publisher's words
Expert Claude Code skills for building flawless n8n workflows using the n8n-mcp MCP server
> 💼 Need it built for you? Work with AiAdvisors: n8n automation audits, builds, and operations, run by the author of n8n-mcp and n8n-skills.
This repository contains 14 complementary Claude Code skills, plus an always-on router skill and a hooks enforcement layer, that teach AI assistants how to build production-ready n8n workflows using the n8n-mcp MCP server, and how to deploy the self-hosted n8n that runs them.
- Using MCP tools incorrectly or inefficiently
- Getting stuck in validation error loops
- Not knowing which workflow patterns to use
- Misconfiguring nodes and their dependencies
- ✅ Correct n8n expression syntax ({{}} patterns)
- ✅ How to use n8n-mcp tools effectively

- 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, str…
- 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", "attac…
- 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…
- 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 recom…
- 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, de…
- 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, e…
- 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 r…
- n8n-mcp-tools-expert
- Expert guide for using n8n-mcp MCP tools effectively. Use when searching for nodes, validating configurations, accessing templates, managing workflows, organizing workflows into folders, managing credentials, auditing instance security, or using any n8n-mcp tool. Provides tool selection guidance, p…
- 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…
- 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 expl…
- 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…
- 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" inp…
