Claude Code n8n Agent Setup Wizard

Set up Claude Code to build n8n workflows in under 5 minutes—no coding required.

Claude Code is now capable of designing, building, testing, and iterating n8n workflows using nothing but natural language prompts. Once you set this up, you'll never manually build automations ever again.

Who is this for?

Automation enthusiasts, n8n beginners, and anyone who wants to use Claude Code to build workflows without wrestling with manual configuration. Ideal for creators who want to start building automations immediately, not spend hours figuring out setup.

What problem does this solve?

Setting up Claude Code to work with n8n is confusing. You need to create hidden folders, write configuration files, install skills, set permissions, and connect MCP servers—all before you can build your first workflow.

This wizard eliminates all of that. Just drag a folder into Claude Code, say "help me set up," and Claude handles everything. Five minutes later, you're building workflows.

What's included?

The Setup Wizard Skill
An interactive guide that walks you through setup step-by-step. Claude asks simple questions (What's your name? Do you have n8n?), then creates all the files and configurations automatically.

7 n8n Skills
Pre-built knowledge that teaches Claude how to build n8n workflows:

• n8n-workflow-patterns - The 5 core patterns for building any workflow
• n8n-code-javascript - Write JavaScript in Code nodes
• n8n-code-python - Write Python in Code nodes
• n8n-expression-syntax - Master the {{ }} expression syntax
• n8n-validation-expert - Catch errors before they break your workflows
• n8n-node-configuration - Configure any node correctly
• n8n-mcp-tools-expert - Connect Claude directly to your n8n instance

Automatic n8n Connection
Optionally connect Claude directly to your n8n workspace. This means Claude doesn't just tell you how to build workflows—it builds them for you.

How it works

Step 1: Drag the folder into Claude Code
Save the setup folder anywhere on your computer. Open Claude Code. Drag the folder in.

Step 2: Say "Help me set up Claude Code"
Claude reads the setup wizard and starts guiding you.

Step 3: Answer a few questions

• What's your name?
• Do you have an n8n account? (Claude helps you sign up if not)
• What's your n8n URL?

Step 4: Claude does the rest
Claude automatically:

• Creates your configuration folder
• Writes your personalized instructions file
• Installs all 7 n8n skills
• Sets up permissions
• Connects to your n8n (optional)
• Tests that everything works

Step 5: Start building
Say something like "Build me a workflow that sends me a Slack message when I get an email" and Claude gets to work.

Setup requirements

• Claude Code desktop app (free download )
• An n8n account (free tier available )
• 5 minutes

No terminal. No code. No configuration files to edit manually.

What you can build after setup

Once configured, just describe what you want:

• "Build a workflow that posts to Slack when a new row is added to Google Sheets"
• "Create an automation that summarizes emails and saves them to Notion"
• "Make a workflow that monitors a website and alerts me when prices change"
• "Build an AI agent that answers questions from my documentation"

Claude understands n8n patterns, validates your workflows, and can even create them directly in your n8n instance.

Troubleshooting built in

If something goes wrong, just say:

• "Check my setup"
• "Something's not working"
• "Help me fix my skills"

Claude diagnoses the issue and walks you through the fix.
