# n8n CLI

Run your n8n instance from the terminal, no app needed

## What this does

You use n8n to run automated workflows, and sometimes the job is looking after n8n itself: sorting out workflows, credentials, or what has already run. This skill handles that from the command line rather than making you click through the app. Reach for it whenever you want to interact with n8n or keep your instance in order.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Manage my n8n workflows
- Keep my credentials up to date
- Check on workflow executions

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About n8n CLI

This skill works with an n8n instance through the n8n command line. Workflows, credentials, and executions can all be managed from there, along with anything else the CLI covers.

Use it whenever you want to interact with n8n directly: automating workflow work, keeping credentials straight, or operating your instance from the terminal.

## Questions

### Is n8n CLI safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of n8n CLI and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 62796bb860fa, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/n8n-cli.

### How do I install n8n CLI?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/n8n-cli on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/tree/62796bb860fab29216b976e45aae8eea26f26c54/packages/@n8n/cli/skills/n8n-cli. Install from that link, not the branch.
