Summary

Generate an n8n workflow JSON from natural language description using Claude AI

Inputs

  • workflowDescription (required) — Natural language description of the desired workflow
  • workflowName — Optional name for the generated workflow; if omitted it will be inferred
  • additionalOptions — Optional settings such as Max Tokens, Temperature, Include Comments, Auto Activate

Output shape

A JSON object containing the generated workflow definition plus validation results and optional creation details

The response includes workflowJson, nodeCount, validation.errors and warnings. If n8n API credentials are provided, also includes workflowId and workflowUrl.

Examples

Example 1: Create a simple workflow that triggers on webhook, fetches an API, processes data and posts to Slack

Leave workflowName empty, set Auto Activate false, keep default Max Tokens 8192 and Temperature 0.3

Example 2: Generate a multi-agent workflow with Claude AI and include comments in Code nodes

Enable Include Comments true, set Temperature 0.1, Max Tokens 4096

Example 3: Validate an existing workflow description without creating anything

Use operation 'Validate Workflow' (not a typical generate example)
