What Hacker News says
3 sourcesHello HN,
I built this because I wanted AI-assisted workflow editing for my self-hosted n8n instance, without usage quotas or cloud dependencies.
n8n recently launched an AI assistant (cloud-only), but I wanted the same capabilities locally with my own AI (Cursor, Cline, Claude, etc.).
What it does:
AI-powered workflow editing: Your AI assistant understands n8n's 600+ nodes with accurate schemas
Prevents hallucinations: Provides 1246+ indexed doc pages, node parameters, and 7000+ community workflow examples
Works in VS Code or CLI with real-time sync to your n8n instance
Bonus: Git versioning with bidirectional sync and conflict resolution
Technical details:
Claude Agent Skill + context files for Cursor/Cline/Windsurf
Agent CLI with FlexSearch over nodes, docs, and workflows
Bidirectional sync via n8n API (works with self-hosted or cloud)
Read the rest
VS Code extension with embedded n8n canvas
Note on the repo: This is a monorepo (core sync engine, CLI, agent-cli, VS Code extension, Claude skill). The extension is in packages/vscode-extension.
It's open source and free. I'd appreciate feedback on the AI context accuracy!
