Stop manually building n8n workflows. In this video, I'll show you how to set up an AI agent (n8n-MCP) that builds complex automations for you, just by giving it instructions in Claude. This isn't just a demo; it's a complete, step-by-step tutorial that solves the most common setup problems, like using Docker and connecting to your local n8n instance.

We'll start by setting up n8n and configuring the AI agent correctly. Then, we'll build a simple test workflow to prove it works before creating a complex AI Job Matching workflow from scratch, complete with web scraping and custom logic.

A big thank you to ScrapingDog for sponsoring the web scraping portion of this video. I used their powerful API to easily scrape job data from LinkedIn for our complex workflow example. They make web scraping simple by handling rotating proxies, headless browsers, and CAPTCHAs, so you can focus on the data.
