By just using the VS Code extension, I built an auto AI configuration for the MCP.
- Skills
- Rules
- MCP tools
- workflows
For all IDEs based on vscode and all CLI known like Codex, Gemini, Claude.
What i did today I improved the MCP tools and extended them to support many tools that interact with workflows only.
The MCP is installed and configured automatically by simply installing the VS Code extension from the Marketplace, with the n8n settings synced directly to the MCP config. This feature was released by VS Code only two months ago, so not many people know this trick, where you get the MCP through the extension tools. In the end, the AI can interact with and control the extension 🥺

don’t update to 2.11.1 if you’re on an arm64 server. n8n is currently broken on arm servers with that version.
2.11.0 safe.
2.11.0 safe.

Just built an internal Perplexity extension that gives any AI model MCP access to a personal Perplexity account.
🙃 If we get a chance to have a private Discord server, I’m gonna share it there. For a public release, we can’t, since this could cause a lot of trademark issues. So I’m just letting you know it’s possible for educational purposes.
The Perplexity Pro plan gives Claude Opus computer usage, which could save you around $140 for every $20 you pay.
Currently i am using
- Claude Code
- Windsurf 1M opus 4.6
- Codex 5.4
All them linked to Perplexity computer MCP as tools where they can manage my account to do search about things and getting advanced results that could save a lot for them.

One thing made me work like a slave before, delivering Airtable updates to our clients.
Because of shitty Airtable API limitations, they do not allow or support updating fields called “Computed Fields,” like formulas, buttons, currency, etc.
The only possible way was to do this manually. I had to open a remote session and copy-paste each updated field, which is a totally painful task. It has always been on my TODO list to fix this issue, and today it was time. I finished the first part, which was completing the MCP code.
I lost all my time bypassing their fingerprint login. Thanks to the amazing Asian security reverse engineers for bringing the best captcha solutions that saved me a lot of time bypassing the internal APIs for automation.
+Will integrate the mcp into this project

For example the Airtable login has a security captcha called PerimeterX, and there is already an active project to bypass this captcha for free. There is also an undetected Playwright called “patchright,” aka a patched browser.

So now it’s up to 32 tools, and I made an extension dashboard for it just like perplexity.
The AI files are the real headache. I have to set up each AI prompt, skill, and rule by hand for every agent. That’s why it’s taking forever. I can’t just leave it vibecoded without testing the prompts. To test them I need to run live projects to make sure everything works.
The bright side is I’ve got a bunch of Airtable projects that use formulas and views and need better table structure. This extension plus MCP is gonna let Claude Code do some magic with those bases.
While testing on a live project it actually found a real bug in one formula, a tiny typo that was causing big problems in that table. Claude Code spotted it because MCP has a tool to get the table schema, so Claude Code can read formulas in bulk easily. Especially now since Claude Code is running a 2x promo and includes the 1M context Opus model, it’s the perfect time to burn those Claude credits on testing.

- Node Builder:
It’s an npm package linked to an AI that can build any n8n node from Postman, OpenAPI, or Swagger into a fully functional n8n node. It’s trained on the n8n project itself, and the npm package and its CLI generate all files from A to Z for future node development. Even GitHub issue reports are generated. The user only pays for AI credits and provides the node’s SVG logo and the collection URL or file, then comes back after about 15 minutes to get a fully tested node. (I’ll release a node built with this CLI soon, and I believe it will be better than any node we’ve created before.) It’s linked to a web UI because the Node Builder needs some input, like GitHub and npm tokens. We’ll make it very interactive for newbies, so the n8n community can create nodes every day, just like they create workflows.

just made the first usable version of the "Node Builder". this project has used all my CC credits during the last 3 months.
sent it to my team, and i’m expecting they can generate nodes with ~15 mins of work until it reaches production.
it supports Postman/OpenAPI/Swagger as sources for API docs
once this project is stable, i’m expecting we can build ~100 nodes a year at least. and the big part is this project isn’t meant just to create, it’s used to track, maintain, update, and warn if there are any changes in the API, with changelog generation and a lot of actions to track each source. amount of private APIs used in this service makes it not possible to share it publicly. we’ll keep working on it until we decide it’s ready for OS
either i share it without APIs, which wouldn’t be very useful since users would have to buy or create a lot of configs, or i create a front end for it where you can generate nodes using. i don’t need to make any paywall, so maybe we can make it fully free but using our credits.

I did research before working on it. One of the n8n core team already tried to make this project: https://github.com/ivov/nodewriter
There are also some people trying to vibecode a similar idea: https://github.com/jongan69/n8n-node-builder (https://n8n-node-builder.vercel.app/)

n8n already announced an update replacing this project. Now it officially has the ability to create workflows using native MCP in the instance settings 😐 i will keep continue on mine as it's already made for only complex workflows.

A few days ago I sent the project to a coworker and gifted him a Claude Code 20x, asking him to continue working on it. He is a real developer, so his improvements add real value. As he claimed in his last message, he was able to improve it to output around 1865 n8n automation nodes.
The 100% is based on the problems we had before, mainly around auto-detecting the dynamics of n8n load options and other issues. He previously told me he kept Claude Code running 24/7, and it ended with these results.
This is a big part of what we want to achieve. We only hope to get 10 nodes per day at 100% quality. For those 10 nodes, we will do a lot of manual work to make them really stable and able to pass the n8n verified nodes program easily.
He said all thanks should go to the Perplexity Computer MCP as it's used by claude code to do many tasks for the collections and companies and logos used. he was scare the perplexity computer credits to end, i just sent him 45K more credits (got it for free using the sponsorships)

⚠️Don't upgrade to n8n@2.16.0 as it contains a critical bug that will cause break the n8n flow when execute items in sub-workflows!
https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/issues/28208
if so, downgrade to version n8n@2.15.0 it's stable.

right now i am paying $400 to Claude.
Max 20x (2× accounts)
right now:
- Claude Pro = not worth a penny. never use it, instead go with Codex with that budget.
- Claude Max 5x = only if you have light work not locked to a timeline.
- Claude Max 20x = best for getting work done right now. but the limits have been downgraded by 50%, so if you used it before, you should know it’s half of what it was.
