n8n-extending-mcp-official

n8n-extending-mcp-official is an MCP server development skill for AI agents, published by n8n-io in the skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates n8n-extending-mcp-official D (64/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Use when you want to expose an n8n workflow as a tool the coding agent can call. Two cases. (1) Wrap n8n API capabilities the MCP doesn't natively expose: folder CRUD, tag rename/delete, instance metadata, credential creation. (2) Expose a general-purpose workflow as an agent tool: a workflow that calls a third-party API, runs business logic, or does any task you want the agent to invoke. Triggers on "expose as MCP tool", "build a tool for my agent", "I need to know X" where X isn't an MCP tool, "create folder", "rename tag", or any capability gap.
