MCP Setup for n8n Development in OpenCode

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

Instructions

  1. 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
  1. Ask the user which unconfigured MCPs they want to add. If all are already configured, tell the user and stop.
OptionLabelDescription
LinearLinearLinear ticket management with OAuth
NotionNotionNotion workspace integration with OAuth
Context7Context7Library documentation lookup
FigmaFigmaFigma design integration with OAuth
  1. Ask once whether to install in user or project scope.
ScopeConfig pathWhen to use
user~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonDefault. Available in all projects.
project./opencode.jsonOnly when the user explicitly wants repo-local config.
  1. 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": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://mcp.notion.com/mcp",
      "enabled": true
    },
    "context7": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp",
      "enabled": true
    },
    "figma": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://mcp.figma.com/mcp",
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}
  1. 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.

google-agents-cli-publish

google/agents-cli

This skill should be used when the user wants to "publish an agent", "publish my ADK agent", "register an agent with Gemini", "publish to Gemini" (formerly Gemini Enterprise), or needs guidance on the agents-cli publish gemini command. Also use when the user wants to "manage agents in Agent Registry", "list/update/delete registered agents", or "register an MCP server". Covers ADK vs A2A registration modes, programmatic and interactive usage, flag reference, auto-detection from deployment metadata, Agent Registry fleet management, and troubleshooting. Part of the agents-cli skills suite. Do NOT use for deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).

This skill should be used when the user wants to "run an evaluation", "evaluate my agent", "evaluate my ADK agent", "write an eval dataset", "analyze eval failures", "compare eval results", "optimize agent", or needs guidance on the Gemini platform eval methodology and the Quality Flywheel. Covers eval metrics, dataset schema, LLM-as-judge scoring, and common failure causes. Applies to any agents-cli project, whatever framework the agent is written in. Do NOT use for agent API code patterns (ADK: use google-agents-cli-adk-code), deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy), or project scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold).

codex-pet

prime-skills/runcomfy-agent-skills

Codex Pet generator on RunComfy. Build a Codex-compatible Codex Pet spritesheet.webp + pet.json from a single reference image, drop it into ${CODEXHOME:-$HOME/.codex}/pets/ / and Codex picks it up as a custom Codex Pet next to the 8 built-ins. This skill produces the exact Codex Pet atlas Codex expects (1536x1872 PNG/WebP, 8 cols x 9 rows, 192x208 cells, 9 animation states — idle, running-right, running-left, waving, jumping, failed, waiting, running, review). Calls OpenAI GPT Image 2 edit ONCE via the local RunComfy CLI as runcomfy run openai/gpt-image-2/edit to produce a canonical Codex Pet pose, then assembles all 9 animation rows programmatically with ImageMagick micro-transforms — no Codex Pro, no $imagegen, no OPENAIAPIKEY required, only RUNCOMFYTOKEN. Triggers on "codex pet", "create codex pet", "make codex pet", "hatch codex pet", "/hatch image", "desktop pet codex", "codex pets", "spritesheet.webp", or any explicit ask to build a custom pet for OpenAI Codex.
