Use when building, editing, validating, testing, or debugging an n8n workflow through the n8n-mcp MCP server — designing a flow, configuring a node, writing an expression or Code node, wiring credentials, or fixing one that misbehaves. The entry-point skill for the n8n-mcp-skills pack: it routes you to the right specialist skill, gives working knowledge of every n8n-mcp tool from turn one, and states the rules that keep workflows from breaking in production. Always consult it first on any n8n, workflow, node, or automation task — even a quick one-off, and even when the user names no skill — because n8n's surface drifts between versions and the specialist skills prevent silent failures.

# Using the n8n-mcp Skills

This is a **router**, not a reference. It tells you which skill owns the rules for what
you're about to do. The skill bodies hold the actual guidance — invoke them with the
Skill tool. When in doubt, load more skills rather than fewer.

The community **n8n-mcp** server and n8n itself move faster than any model's training
cutoff. Tool names, parameters, node `typeVersion`s, and default behaviors drift between
releases. When you spot drift — a tool a skill names doesn't exist, a parameter shape
doesn't match what `get_node` returns, behavior differs from what a skill describes —
trust the **live tool**, tell the user, and suggest updating the pack and the instance.
