Overview
n8n-as-code is a CLI (n8nac), VS Code/Cursor extension and set of agent skills that pull n8n workflows into a repository, convert them to readable .workflow.ts files, and push them back with verification. It also bundles n8n node schemas and validation so coding agents can author workflows, and promotes workflows between named environments such as Dev and Prod.
Who it is for: Teams versioning n8n workflows in Git and using AI agents to edit them
Strengths
- Explicit pull/push with diffs and conflict resolution; nothing syncs unless requested
- Converts workflow JSON to TypeScript and back via the @n8n-as-code/transformer package
- Promote command remaps credentials and Execute Workflow references between environments, with --dry-run
- Ships as VS Code/Open VSX extension, npm CLI, Claude Code plugin and generic skills
Weaknesses
- Node schema tracks the latest stable n8n; older instances may give poorer validation
- Claude Code plugin is listed as Beta / Pending Review
- Independent project, not affiliated with or endorsed by n8n
- Agent workflows depend on installing the CLI locally; npx fallback is slower per call
What it needs
- no GPU
- Needs n8n instance, Node.js / npm, n8n API key
Quick answers
Is n8n-as-code open source?
