OpenClaw Plugin
The @n8n-as-code/n8nac package gives OpenClaw the same portable n8n-manager and n8n-architect skills used by Claude, Cursor, VS Code workspaces, and generic coding agents.
Install
openclaw plugins install @n8n-as-code/n8nac
openclaw n8nac:setup
openclaw gateway restart
If you previously installed @n8n-as-code/openclaw-plugin, uninstall the old package first:
openclaw plugins uninstall n8nac
openclaw plugins install @n8n-as-code/n8nac
Model
OpenClaw uses the same command split as every other surface:
| Group | Command | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Usage | n8nac env | Workspace environments |
| Workspace Inspection | n8nac workspace | V4 workspace snapshot |
| Managed Local Instances | n8n-manager | Local managed instances and tunnels |
Workspace
OpenClaw stores its working files under:
~/.openclaw/n8nac/
n8nac-config.json
AGENTS.md
.agents/skills/
workflows/
n8nac-config.json stores workspace environments. API keys and local managed instance state stay outside the committed workspace.
Manual Equivalent
n8nac env add Dev --base-url <url> --workflows-path workflows/dev
n8nac env auth set Dev --api-key-stdin
n8nac env use Dev
n8nac update-ai
For a local managed instance:
n8n-manager instance list
n8nac env add Local --managed-instance <id> --workflows-path workflows/local
Agent CLI Flow
Agents use normal shell commands:
n8nac env status
n8nac list
n8nac pull <workflow-id>
n8nac push <path-to-workflow.workflow.ts> --verify
n8nac skills node-info <node-name>
Troubleshooting
Reset and start over:
rm -rf ~/.openclaw/n8nac
openclaw n8nac:setup
openclaw gateway restart
