Build n8n Workflows Without Leaving Your IDE

Description

🎁 Download the n8n plugin repo → https://go.n8n.io/n8n-ide-plugin Stop switching between your IDE and n8n. Build workflows without ever leaving your coding environment. n8n as Code brings n8n directly into Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, and Open Claude — so you can prompt, build, and iterate on workflows without leaving your editor. In this episode, I sit down with Etienne Lescot, the developer behind n8n as Code, for a fully live demo. We watch him build real workflows inside Claude Code, Open Claude, and Cursor — including a two-way sync where edits in n8n automatically update your local TypeScript files, and vice versa. Zero hallucinations, runs on tiny, cheap LLMs. ––––––––––––––––––––––– ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 – Intro 1:05 – Meet Etienne: the man who built n8n as Code 1:54 – Live demo begins: building workflows with Claude Code 2:14 – First prompt: Stripe + Postgres workflow 3:37 – Switching to Open Cloud: support ticket triage workflow 5:38 – How n8n as Code works: built-in tooling & local skills 7:02 – Access to 7,000 community templates 16:14 – Installation walkthrough: GitHub repo & setup 23:13 – Cursor demo: lead nurturing workflow 27:51 – Two-way sync between IDE and n8n 28:59 – Zero hallucinations: runs on tiny, cheap LLMs ––––––––––––––––––––––– 🔗 LINKS 📦 n8n as Code template: https://go.n8n.io/n8n-ide-plugin ––––––––––––––––––––––– #n8n #AIAutomation #WorkflowAutomation #CursorAI #ClaudeCode #nocode #lowcode
