Cli Anything N8n

A command-line tool for managing n8n workflows, executions, and credentials without opening the web UI. You get the usual CRUD operations across workflows, variables, and tags, plus the ability to activate/deactivate workflows and retry failed executions. Built against n8n's Public API v1.1.1, so it won't do everything the UI can (no credential listing or execution stopping). The real value is for scripting deployments or letting AI agents manipulate workflows programmatically. Just note that all IDs are strings, and you'll want to use the --json flag for anything automated.
