📁 WRD: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1s...

In this step-by-step tutorial, I show you how to build a complete n8n workflow with Claude using just a single prompt. You’ll see how to set up the MCP server, brainstorm and structure a workflow idea, generate JSON inside Claude, and import it straight into n8n. Together, we’ll create a working news summarizer that fetches articles, condenses them, and emails you daily updates.

Along the way, I’ll cover how to configure API keys, fix common validation errors, and tweak nodes so the workflow runs smoothly. Whether you’re a beginner or already building automations, this walkthrough gives you a clear process to go from idea to live workflow in under 20 minutes.
