N8n Multi Instance

Use when an n8n-mcp account targets more than one n8n instance — i.e. the `n8n_instances` tool is available, the user mentions multiple n8n instances or environments (prod vs staging, several teams or clients), several agents or chats work on one account in parallel, a workflow / datatable / credential / execution call returns an unexpected NOT_FOUND or reads data you don't recognize, or a call is refused with `INSTANCE_AMBIGUOUS` or `INSTANCE_NOT_FOUND`. Covers naming the target instance on each call with the `instance` argument, setting the default with `switch`, verifying the target before high-stakes work — credential writes above all — and recovering from misroutes and fail-closes. Always consult this skill before operating on a specific instance, before any credential create/update/delete on a multi-instance account, or when a call hits the wrong/empty data or an instance error.
