Claude CodeClaude Desktop

The n8n-skills Claude Code plugin equips AI assistants with 14 expert skills for building production-ready n8n workflows through the n8n-mcp MCP server. It teaches correct n8n expression syntax, MCP tool usage, proven workflow patterns, validation error interpretation, and node configuration across 525+ supported nodes. The plugin includes an enforcement layer with hooks and a router skill that proactively surfaces the right guidance at decision points, preventing common mistakes like incorrect webhook data access, validation loops, and misconfigured dependencies.

Key Features

14 complementary skills covering expression syntax, MCP tools, workflow patterns, validation, node configuration, JavaScript/Python code nodes, AI agents, error handling, binary data, sub-workflows, multi-instance management, and self-hosting deployment
Always-on enforcement layer with router skill and PreToolUse/PostToolUse hooks that proactively route to relevant skills before high-impact operations
Comprehensive Code Tool skill distinguishing between regular Code nodes and AI-agent-callable Custom Code Tool with correct return format (string vs array) and input binding patterns
Validation expert with real error catalogs, auto-sanitization behavior explanations, and guidance for four validation profiles (minimal/runtime/ai-friendly/strict)
Multi-instance support teaching instance switching, verification before credential writes, and recovery from misrouted operations
Production-tested patterns including 10 JavaScript code patterns, 5 proven workflow architectures, and comprehensive error handling strategies
Binary data handling guidance covering the $binary vs $json distinction, agent-tool binary boundaries, and file passing to AI workflows
Self-hosting deployment skill for single and queue mode Docker Compose installations with Caddy reverse proxy and automatic HTTPS
