n8n Harness

OpenClaw skill plugin for BrowserOS MCP automation through n8n workflows.

Install

openclaw plugins install clawhub:@khanh-atom/n8n-harness

n8n-harness

Browser automation via BrowserOS MCP and n8n workflow files.

No Python, no CDP daemon, no framework — just .n8n workflow files that make HTTP requests to BrowserOS MCP.

OpenClaw plugin

This repository is also an OpenClaw skill plugin:

openclaw.plugin.json declares the n8n-harness plugin.
index.ts is the OpenClaw runtime entry. It is intentionally a no-op because the plugin ships skills, not runtime tools.
SKILL.md is exposed to OpenClaw via the manifest skills: ["./"].

For local development, link this repo into OpenClaw:

bash

openclaw plugins install -l .
openclaw plugins inspect n8n-harness

If this repo is placed under a workspace .openclaw/extensions/ directory instead, enable it explicitly:

bash

openclaw plugins enable n8n-harness

Quick start

Ensure BrowserOS MCP is running on localhost:6277
Run a skill: npm exec n8n-atom-cli run skills/browseros/open-page.n8n
Or call MCP directly:

bash

curl -X POST http://localhost:6277/execute-tool \
  -H "Origin: http://localhost:6274" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "toolName": "new_page",
    "toolArgs": { "url": "https://www.google.com", "hidden": false, "background": false },
    "server": { "command": "npx", "args": ["mcp-remote", "http://127.0.0.1:9001/mcp"] }
  }'
