✨ Features

⚡ Quick Start

1. Install the n8n node

In n8n: Settings > Community Nodes > Install > n8n-nodes-claude-code-cli

2. Deploy Claude Code Runner

n8n installed on host (not in Docker)? Use the standalone setup:

n8n also running in Docker? Use the complete stack instead

The node uses docker exec to communicate with claude-code-runner. This requires:
1. Docker CLI installed inside the n8n container
2. Docker socket mounted to access the Docker daemon

The standard n8nio/n8n image doesn't include Docker CLI, so we provide a custom setup:

This builds a custom n8n image with Docker CLI and deploys both n8n and claude-code-runner together. Access n8n at http://localhost:5678

Already have n8n running in Docker? You can modify your existing setup:

1. Create a custom Dockerfile for n8n:

2. Update your docker-compose.yml:

3. Deploy claude-code-runner separately using the standalone setup above

Important: Both containers must be managed by the same Docker daemon.

3. Authenticate

Follow the browser prompts to complete authentication.

4. Configure n8n credentials

5. Start automating 🚀

Search "Claude Code" in n8n node panel and create your first workflow.
