This skill bridges OpenClaw with your existing n8n‑dispatch service via mcporter. It exposes a single command dispatch that forwards the user’s request type and prompt to the registered MCP service.
How it works
The command dispatch takes two required arguments:
requestType – one of state, action, or historical.
text – the raw user prompt.
The skill builds a JSON payload containing those two values and calls the MCP service n8n_dispatch.
The n8n workflow receives the payload, processes the request, and returns a response that OpenClaw prints.
Usage
# In your OpenClaw session or a shell
n8n_dispatch dispatch state "What is the living room light status?"
The command will output something like: Requested type: state and text: What is the living room light status?
Examples

Prompt
Example command
What the service returns

Yesterday’s temperature: 72°F
Configuration
Place this skill in your workspace under skills/n8n_dispatch and ensure your MCP service is registered:
Once the skill is loaded (openclaw skills load n8n_dispatch), you can start calling dispatch from any OpenClaw session.
