MCP Setup for n8n Development

Configure commonly used MCP servers for n8n engineers.

Instructions

  1. First, check which MCPs are already configured by running:
claude mcp list

Parse the output and match by URL/command, not server name (users may have used different names). The URLs to check for:

  • Linear: mcp.linear.app
  • Notion: mcp.notion.com
  • Context7: ctx7 or context7-mcp
  • Figma: mcp.figma.com

Skip any MCP whose URL/command is already present (regardless of scope or name).

  1. Present the MCP selection menu using AskUserQuestion with multiSelect: true. Only show MCPs that are not already configured. If all are already configured, inform the user and skip the menu.
Option Label Description
Linear Linear Linear ticket management (HTTP, OAuth — opens browser to authenticate)
Notion Notion Notion workspace integration (HTTP, OAuth — opens browser to authenticate)
Context7 Context7 Library documentation lookup (OAuth setup via CLI)
Figma Figma Figma design integration (HTTP, OAuth — opens browser to authenticate)
  1. Process each selected MCP one at a time in a loop. For each MCP: a. Ask the user via AskUserQuestion: "Where should {MCP name} be installed?"
    • user (default, recommended) — available in all projects
    • local — only in this project b. Run the install command for that MCP with the chosen scope c. Then move to the next MCP and ask again

Do NOT batch the scope question — ask separately for each MCP. Do NOT offer project scope — it modifies .claude/settings.json which is tracked in git.

Commands per MCP:

Linear

claude mcp add -s {scope} linear-server --transport http https://mcp.linear.app/mcp

After adding, tell the user to run /mcp in their next session to authenticate.

Notion

claude mcp add -s {scope} notion --transport http https://mcp.notion.com/mcp

After adding, tell the user to run /mcp in their next session to authenticate.

Context7

Tell the user to run this command themselves (it handles auth via OAuth automatically):

npx ctx7 setup --claude

Figma

claude mcp add -s {scope} figma --transport http https://mcp.figma.com/mcp

After adding, tell the user to run /mcp in their next session to authenticate.

  1. After running the commands, confirm which MCPs were configured and note any manual steps remaining (authentication via /mcp, Context7 setup).

What it does

Configures MCP servers (Linear, Notion, Context7, Figma) for n8n development by checking existing installations, prompting for scope preference per server, and running the appropriate claude mcp add or setup commands. Targets n8n engineers who need to integrate ticket management, workspace docs, and design tools into their Claude MCP environment.

Frequently asked

What MCPs does this skill set up?
Linear (ticket management), Notion (workspace integration), Context7 (documentation lookup), and Figma (design integration). The skill checks which are already installed and only prompts to add the missing ones.
Do I need to authenticate after setup?
Yes. For Linear, Notion, and Figma, you run `/mcp` in your next Claude session to authenticate via browser. Context7 handles auth automatically during its setup command.
Can I install these MCPs to just one project?
Yes. The skill asks whether each MCP should be installed to user scope (available in all projects) or local scope (this project only).
What if some MCPs are already configured?
The skill checks by URL/command and skips any that are present. If all are already configured, it informs you and exits.
