n8n Workflow & MCP Expert FAQs

Question 1

What is the difference between nodeType formats in this skill?

This skill clarifies when to use the short prefix (nodes-base.*) for search/validation tools and the full prefix (n8n-nodes-base.*) required for workflow creation and management tools.

Question 2

What are n8n validation profiles?

Accepted Answer

The skill supports multiple profiles: 'minimal' for required fields, 'runtime' for value/type checks, 'ai-friendly' to reduce AI-specific false positives, and 'strict' for production-grade validation.

Question 3

Why should I use get_node_essentials instead of get_node_info?

Accepted Answer

get_node_essentials is optimized for performance with a 91.7% success rate and a small 5KB payload, whereas get_node_info is slower and has a 20% failure rate due to its 100KB+ payload size.

Question 4

How does the skill handle workflow connections?

Accepted Answer

It utilizes 'Smart Parameters' which allow for semantic branch names (like 'true' or 'false' for IF nodes) and case numbers for Switch nodes, making connection logic much more readable than manual indexing.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it allows you to search and access a library of over 2,653 real workflows, providing details on complexity, setup time, and required services.
