AI-generated overview

Command-line interface for managing n8n workflows, executions, credentials, variables, and tags.

What it does
This skill documents a CLI harness for the n8n workflow automation platform, based on the n8n Public API v1.1.1. It covers command groups for workflows, executions, credentials, variables, tags, and configuration, including listing, creating, updating, deleting, activating, and transferring resources. It also gives agent-oriented guidance such as using JSON output, passing JSON from files, and checking return codes.
When to use it
Use it when you need to operate an n8n instance from the command line or through an agent, such as managing workflows, inspecting or retrying executions, or handling credentials, variables, and tags. It is also relevant when scripting n8n automation tasks against the Public API.
Requirements
Requires the cli-anything-n8n package installed via pip, an n8n instance running version 1.0.0 or later, and configuration of a base URL and API key either through config commands or the N8N_BASE_URL and N8N_API_KEY environment variables. Network access to the n8n instance is needed; an optional N8N_TIMEOUT variable sets the request timeout. The skill ships no scripts.
