How It Works

1

Install n8n-mcp MCP server

Set up the n8n-mcp server which provides access to 800+ nodes, validation, templates, and workflow management tools.
npm install -g n8n-mcp
2

Install the skills

Install the skills as a Claude Code plugin with a single command:
/plugin install czlonkowski/n8n-skills
3

Ask Claude to build workflows

Skills activate automatically based on your query. No configuration needed.
"Build a webhook to Slack notification workflow"
→ Activates: Workflow Patterns + MCP Tools + Expression Syntax + Validation

Skills Work Together

When you ask Claude to “Build and validate a webhook to Slack workflow”, multiple skills activate and collaborate automatically:

1. Workflow Patterns

Identifies the webhook processing pattern and provides the node structure

2. MCP Tools Expert

Searches for webhook and Slack nodes using search_nodes, gets configuration with get_node

3. Expression Syntax

Maps webhook data correctly: {{$json.body.name}} not {{$json.name}}

4. Validation Expert

Validates the complete workflow and interprets any errors
Skills compose seamlessly — the more specific your request, the more skills collaborate to give you a complete, validated, production-ready result.
