Adicione em context_servers. Zed recarrega automaticamente ao salvar.

Uma linha só. Verifique com claude mcp list. Remova com claude mcp remove.

Casos de uso

Usos do mundo real: n8n Workflow Skills

Generate a working n8n workflow from a natural-language description

👤 n8n users ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

Quando usar: You want a starting workflow that imports without 'unknown node' errors.

Pré-requisitos

Server/skill installed and authenticated — See repo README

Fluxo

Describe

Using the n8n skill, build a workflow: webhook in → OpenAI summarize → Slack post to #alerts.✓ Copiado

→ Valid workflow.json
Import + dry-run

Validate against the n8n schema and tell me what credentials I need to create.✓ Copiado

→ Validation pass + credentials list

Resultado: A real, importable workflow — not a JSON-shaped hallucination.

Permissões, segredos, alcance

Armazenamento de credenciais: Use environment variables; never commit secrets

Saída de dados: Tool calls go to the provider's API as documented

Solução de problemas

Erros comuns e correções

import says 'unknown node type'

Skill targets a specific n8n version. Check SKILL.md frontmatter; upgrade or downgrade your n8n.

Verificar: n8n version matches

expression parse error

Use the skill's expression validator before saving the workflow.

Verificar: Validator returns ok
