核心特性

Workflow JSON authoring with node-specific schemas
Expression validator (catches {{$json.foo}} typos)
Credentials reference (without leaking secrets)
Workflow validation against n8n's schema

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "n8n-skills": {
      "command": "git",

        "clone",
        "https://github.com/haunchen/n8n-skills",
        "~/.claude/skills/n8n-skills"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

開啟 Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config。儲存後重啟應用。

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "n8n-skills": {
      "command": "git",

      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor 使用與 Claude Desktop 相同的 mcpServers 格式。專案級設定優先於全域。

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "n8n-skills": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/haunchen/n8n-skills",
        "~/.claude/skills/n8n-skills"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

點擊 Cline 側欄中的 MCP Servers 圖示，然後選 "Edit Configuration"。

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "n8n-skills": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/haunchen/n8n-skills",
        "~/.claude/skills/n8n-skills"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

格式與 Claude Desktop 相同。重啟 Windsurf 生效。

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "n8n-skills",
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/haunchen/n8n-skills",
        "~/.claude/skills/n8n-skills"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue 使用伺服器物件陣列，而非映射。

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "n8n-skills": {
      "command": {
        "path": "git",
        "args": [
          "clone",
          "https://github.com/haunchen/n8n-skills",
          "~/.claude/skills/n8n-skills"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

加入 context_servers。Zed 儲存後熱重載。

claude mcp add n8n-skills -- git clone https://github.com/haunchen/n8n-skills ~/.claude/skills/n8n-skills

一行命令搞定。用 claude mcp list 驗證，claude mcp remove 移除。

使用場景

實戰用法： n8n Workflow Skills

Generate a working n8n workflow from a natural-language description

👤 n8n users ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

何時使用： You want a starting workflow that imports without 'unknown node' errors.

前置條件

Server/skill installed and authenticated — See repo README

步驟

Describe

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

→ Valid workflow.json
Import + dry-run

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

→ Validation pass + credentials list

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

注意事項

n8n versions ship breaking schema changes. Pin the skill to your n8n major version (the SKILL.md notes which version it targets). — n8n versions ship breaking schema changes. Pin the skill to your n8n major version (the SKILL.md notes which version it targets).

安全

權限、密鑰、影響範圍

憑證儲存： Use environment variables; never commit secrets

資料出站： Tool calls go to the provider's API as documented

故障排查

常見錯誤與修復

import says 'unknown node type'

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

驗證： n8n version matches

expression parse error

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

驗證： Validator returns ok
