What is the difference between nodeType formats in this skill?

Search and validation tools use a short prefix (e.g., 'nodes-base.slack'), whereas workflow management tools require the full prefix (e.g., 'n8n-nodes-base.slack').

Does the skill handle workflow connection errors?

Yes, it uses smart parameters for semantic branch names and includes an auto-sanitization system that fixes operator structures during updates.

What are validation profiles used for?

Validation profiles like 'runtime' or 'strict' allow you to check configurations for missing fields or type mismatches before deploying your workflow to production.

Can I use n8n tools without an API key?

Yes, node discovery, validation, and template search tools are always available. Only active workflow management tools like 'n8n_create_workflow' require an API key.

Which tool should I use to get node details for the best performance?

You should use 'get_node_essentials' as it has a 91.7% success rate and provides focused data, whereas 'get_node_info' is slower and has a higher failure rate.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Streamlines the creation, validation, and management of n8n automation workflows using specialized MCP tools and templates.

Acerca de

The n8n Workflow Automation skill transforms Claude into a specialized architect for the n8n-mcp server, enabling the seamless construction of complex automation logic. It provides expert guidance on discovering over 500 node types, validating configurations against various performance profiles (minimal, runtime, or strict), and executing iterative workflow updates. By leveraging a library of over 2,600 real-world templates and providing precise technical guidance on node type formats and smart parameters, this skill minimizes common configuration errors and significantly accelerates the development of production-ready automations within the Claude Code environment.
