n8n-io/skillsSkill
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 deletion, project create/rename, 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, "delete folder", "rename tag", or any capability gap.
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 542 stars are split between them (about 54 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 66/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 21, 2026 at commit 27b6b9f429ac, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
