What are validation profiles?

Validation profiles allow you to check configurations at different levels of strictness, such as 'minimal' for required fields, 'runtime' for value types, or 'strict' for production-ready setups.

How does this skill handle different nodeType formats?

The skill manages the conversion between short-prefix formats (nodes-base.slack) used for searching and full-prefix formats (n8n-nodes-base.slack) required for workflow management.

Does this skill require an n8n API key?

Node discovery, validation, and template searching are always available. However, tools that create, update, or deploy workflows require a configured N8N_API_URL and N8N_API_KEY.

What is the primary purpose of the n8n-mcp tools expert?

It provides a standardized framework for Claude to interact with n8n MCP servers, allowing it to find nodes, validate workflow logic, and manage automation sequences effectively.

Can I use this skill to fix broken n8n workflows?

Yes, it includes validation loops and an auto-sanitization system that can detect and fix common issues like incorrect binary operators or missing metadata in IF and Switch nodes.
