What this skill does
n8n Workflow Automation Skill This skill enables creating and managing n8n workflows for automation tasks. Prerequisites n8n instance running with API access: Core Concepts Workflow Structure Every n8n workflow is JSON with this structure: Node Structure Each node has: Connection Structure Connections define data flow between nodes: Common Workflow Patterns 1. Webhook-Triggered Workflow Creates an HTTP endpoint that triggers workflow execution: Access at: http://localhost:5678/webhook/my-endpoint 2. HTTP Request Pattern Make external API calls: 3. Conditional Branching (IF Node) Route data based on conditions: 4. Loop Over Items (SplitInBatches) Process items in batches: n8n REST API List Workflows Get Workflow Create Workflow Update Workflow Activate/Deactivate Get Executions Expression Syntax n8n uses expressions for dynamic values: Syntax Description -------- ------------- ={{ $json.field }} Access current item field ={{ $json.body.param }} Access nested field ={{ $('Node Name').item.json.field }} Access output from specific node ={{ $input.first().json }} First input item ={{ $input.all() }} All input items ={{ JSON.stringify($json) }} Convert to JSON string Common Node Types Node Type Purpose ------ ------ --------- Webhook n8n-nodes-base.webhook HTTP trigger HTTP Request n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest API calls Respond to Webhook n8n-nodes-base.respondToWebhook Return HTTP response IF n8n-nodes-base.if Conditional branching Switch n8n-nodes-base.switch Multi-way branching Set n8n-nodes-base.set Transform data Code n8n-nodes-base.code Custom JavaScript Split In Batches n8n-nodes-base.splitInBatches Loop processing Merge n8n-nodes-base.merge Combine branches MCP Integration n8n can expose workflows as MCP tools via the built-in MCP server: 1. Enable MCP in workflow settings: "availableInMCP": true 2. Access MCP endpoint: http://localhost:5678/mcp-server/http 3. Use supergateway for Claude Code integration Tips 1. …
