MCP Setup for n8n Development in OpenCode

Configure commonly used MCP servers for n8n engineers using OpenCode MCP config.

Instructions

  • Check which MCPs are already configured by running, if available:
opencode mcp list

Parse by URL or command, not just server name. Skip any MCP whose URL is already

present.

Known MCP URLs:

  • Linear: https://mcp.linear.app/mcp
  • Notion: https://mcp.notion.com/mcp
  • Context7: https://mcp.context7.com/mcp
  • Figma: https://mcp.figma.com/mcp
  • Ask the user which unconfigured MCPs they want to add. If all are already

configured, tell the user and stop.

| Option | Label | Description |

|--------|-------|-------------|

| Linear | Linear | Linear ticket management with OAuth |

| Notion | Notion | Notion workspace integration with OAuth |

| Context7 | Context7 | Library documentation lookup |

| Figma | Figma | Figma design integration with OAuth |

  • Ask once whether to install in user or project scope.

| Scope | Config path | When to use |

|-------|-------------|-------------|

| user | ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json | Default. Available in all projects. |

| project | ./opencode.json | Only when the user explicitly wants repo-local config. |

  • Add the selected MCP entries under the mcp object in the selected config.

Preserve existing config keys and existing MCP entries.

  "mcp": {
    "linear": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://mcp.linear.app/mcp",
      "enabled": true
    },
    "notion": {

      "enabled": true

      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp",
      "enabled": true
    },
    "figma": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://mcp.figma.com/mcp",
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}
  • After editing config, tell the user to authenticate OAuth-backed servers with:
opencode mcp auth <server-name>

Use the configured server names, for example linear, notion, or figma.

Context7 does not require OAuth by default.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take n8n-io/n8n-n8n:setup-mcps from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
