About this video

The creator shows how to combine n8n with Claude Code by connecting them over SSH, arguing this changed how he uses n8n because n8n becomes the orchestrator while Claude Code supplies context, skills, and agents. The setup needs an n8n instance, an AI terminal tool, and a server to install it on — he recommends self-hosting n8n on a VPS or installing the tool alongside existing machines, and notes Claude Code requires a Pro subscription while Gemini CLI is free with limits and Codex is described as kind of janky. In n8n he creates a workflow with an SSH node using the Execute Command action, saves credentials for his server, tests with hostname and claude –version, then runs Claude in headless print mode with claude -p. He demonstrates three advantages: context, by changing directory into a project folder so Claude can judge the video files there; subscription tokens already paid for; and skills and agents, by invoking a UniFi skill to deploy three agents to check Wi-Fi, network performance, and security, surfacing high memory on a switch and UDM Pro. He then shows session continuity: generate a UUID in a Code node, pass it with –session-id, pin the data, and resume with -R to ask a follow-up in context. Finally he builds a Slack workflow that loops via an IF node so he can hold a multi-turn conversation with Claude Code from his phone until he marks it done.

Key takeaways

Connect n8n to Claude Code with n8n’s SSH node Execute Command action — no custom wrapper needed
Run Claude headless with claude -p so n8n can send a prompt and collect the output
Changing directory first gives Claude the local file context of that project
Use –session-id with a generated UUID and -R to resume multi-turn sessions inside n8n
n8n orchestrates while Claude Code skills deploy multiple agents for complex tasks
