I'll never use n8n the same......
Integrating Claude Code Agents into n8n Workflows via SSH
Unlock true AI orchestration by connecting n8n workflows directly to powerful terminal tools like Claude Code using SSH, enabling complex context management and dynamic, multi-agent deployment.
Short Summary
- Utilize the n8n SSH node as the bridge for executing commands on a remote server hosting your AI terminal tool.
- Maintain rich, persistent conversational context across multiple workflow steps using Session IDs.
- Deploy agents capable of referencing local files, running system skills, and executing complex automation routines.
This guide demonstrates how to leverage SSH to transform n8n from a simple executor into an orchestrator for powerful, locally controlled AI agents like Claude Code or Gemini CLI. By connecting the tools via command line, you immediately gain access to the AI tool's local file context and persistent memory capabilities, circumventing typical API limitations.

In this video, I show you how I wired Claude Code (and other AI terminal tools like Gemini CLI) into my n8n workflows. N8n can now spin up full-blown AI agents, use skills, and keep rich context across multiple steps…. All from a single node. 🔥🧠 Check out our N8N COURSE on NetworkChuck Academy!: https://ntck.co/n8n_academy RESOURCES / LINKS: 📃 Guide / Walkthrough: https://github.com/theNetworkChuck/n8n-claude-code-guide ⚡ My video on why Claude Code is so great: https://youtu.be/MsQACpcuTkU TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Intro 0:24 - Requirements 2:50 - Super Simple Setup 4:33 - Basic Execution 7:55 - Sessions 9:52 - External Interfaces 12:54 - Architecture Shift **Sponsored by Hostinger
This made me realize that Opencode has a server we can expose and call like a REST API. Which give the impression to be cleaner than SSH.
i came to watch n8n and at the end of the video with the prayer i almost cried. Godbless you
The synchronicity of the pray at the end caught me off guard and was truly a bliss. I´m so grateful, bless you.
Exceptional video, the idea of connecting n8n and Claude Code is crazy. A video where you propose a handful of real-world use cases would be fantastic.
Thanks for the prayer. Put a smile on my face and made my night! Needed it more than you know!!!
I been using n8n for a while now and never even realized they had an SSH node *slaps myself* thanks man!
