Check n8n-autopilot Setup

n8n-autopilot is CLI-only (npx n8nac …). There is no MCP server entry for this plugin — the mcp__n8n-as-code__* namespace seen in older docs was an upstream assumption that never landed (the npm n8nac mcp entry-point is broken and Etienne's companion plugin ships skill knowledge, not an MCP server).

This skill verifies the actually-required layers.

Step 1 — n8nac CLI reachable

npx n8nac --version 2>&1

Expect 2.2.0 or higher. Anything below is unsupported.

Step 2 — Full health check via setup-check.sh

bash "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/setup-check.sh" 2>&1

($CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is set by Claude Code when running plugin commands — no manual path needed.)

Inspect the output. The script checks, in order:

1. npx available
2. n8nac CLI version vs minimum/reference
3. n8nac workspace bound (workspace status --json returns env config)
4. n8n API reachable (host pulled from the workspace status JSON)
5. Companion plugin n8n-as-code@n8nac-marketplace enabled (warns if missing — the companion's n8n-architect skill is the primary source of n8n authoring knowledge)
6. Community-node schema coverage
7. Inventory freshness (informational)

Step 3 — Companion plugin (n8n-as-code) enabled

grep -q '"n8n-as-code@n8nac-marketplace": true' "$HOME/.claude/settings.json" && \
  echo "OK: n8n-as-code companion enabled" || \
  echo "WARN: n8n-as-code companion not enabled — install it for best UX:
  claude plugin marketplace add EtienneLescot/n8n-as-code
  claude plugin install n8n-as-code@n8nac-marketplace"

Step 4 — Project visibility

node "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/find-project/scripts/list.js"

Prints the workspace-pinned project plus every project derivable from credential ownership. Surface the table to the user — multi-project blindness (referencing creds from the wrong project) is the most common cause of "workflow pushes but fails at runtime".

Step 4b — Native n8n MCP (test path + push gate)

node "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/check-native-mcp.mjs" --live

✅ native MCP ready = the plugin's n8n-native server can test workflows on the session env's instance and the push-lint gate can check node versions there. Any INFO: line carries the exact remedy (token from the n8n UI, piped into npx n8nac native-mcp configure). Silent output means N8NAC_ENVIRONMENT is not pinned — fix that first (/n8n-autopilot:session-env).

Step 5 — Report

Print a one-line summary per layer, plus the most likely fix for any FAIL:

Layer                              | Status
───────────────────────────────────┼─────────
n8nac CLI (>= 2.2.0)                |  OK
workspace bound                     |  OK
n8n API reachable                   |  OK
companion plugin (n8n-as-code)      |  OK
native MCP (n8n-native + gate)      |  OK
schemas/_index.json present         |  OK

For any non-OK row, surface the line from setup-check.sh verbatim — that script already prints the suggested fix.
