From GitHub's daily star counts.

Checked 15 Oct 2026 on GitHub.

Overview

A pack of 14 SKILL.md skills plus an always-on router skill and hooks that guide Claude in building n8n workflows with the n8n-mcp server. Topics include expression syntax, Code node JavaScript and Python, validation errors, error handling, sub-workflows and AI agents. One skill covers deploying self-hosted n8n behind Caddy with Docker Compose.

Who it is for: Claude Code users who build n8n workflows via n8n-mcp

Strengths

Covers specific gotchas, such as webhook data under $json.body and Code Tool string returns
Hooks re-inject reminders on SessionStart, before get_node calls and after validate_workflow
Installs as a Claude Code plugin; skill zips also work on Claude.ai and other SKILL.md hosts
Includes a self-hosting skill with single and queue mode Docker Compose templates

Weaknesses

Requires the separate n8n-mcp server to be installed and configured
Hooks only run in the Claude Code or Codex plugin install, not Claude.ai uploads
Self-hosting skill sits outside the workflow-building router and hooks flow
Test instructions are hedged ('if testing framework available'), so the eval setup is unclear

What it needs

no GPU
Needs n8n-mcp, n8n, Claude Code

How to choose

Check which agent it targets and whether it works with the version you run.
Read what it adds to every prompt; big rule sets cost tokens on each call.
Prefer add-ons you can turn off per project.
