Agent skill from
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.

1# Using the n8n-mcp Skills23This is a **router**, not a reference. It tells you which skill owns the rules for what4you're about to do. The skill bodies hold the actual guidance — invoke them with the5Skill tool. When in doubt, load more skills rather than fewer.67The community **n8n-mcp** server and n8n itself move faster than any model's training8cutoff. Tool names, parameters, node `typeVersion`s, and default behaviors drift between9releases. When you spot drift — a tool a skill names doesn't exist, a parameter shape10doesn't match what `get_node` returns, behavior differs from what a skill describes —11trust the **live tool**, tell the user, and suggest updating the pack and the instance.1213## Non-negotiables1415Three rules with no exceptions. Each one prevents a class of workflow that looks correct16but breaks in production.17181. **Invoke the relevant skill before any n8n action** — not just before MCP calls.19 Before writing an expression, configuring a node, designing a workflow, wiring a20 connection, or writing Code, invoke the matching skill. PreToolUse hooks remind you on21 the highest-impact tool calls, but they exist **only in the Claude Code plugin22 install**. Everywhere else — Claude.ai skill uploads, and any client that loads this23 pack as an Agent Plugin (Codex, Cursor, Copilot and the rest) — nothing nudges you and24 it's on you. Assume you are un-hooked unless you have seen a25 hook fire this session.26…
