n8n

Connect n8n workflows to the CoreClaw MCP Server so your automation pipelines can search for scrapers, run them, and retrieve data as part of your workflow.

Prerequisites

n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud)
A CoreClaw account with an API key — get it from Console → Settings → API & Integrations

Configuration

n8n supports MCP via Streamable HTTP transport. You can configure it via the MCP Client Tool node.

Step 1: Add an MCP Client Tool node

In your n8n workflow, add an MCP Client Tool node
Set the transport to Streamable HTTP

Step 2: Configure the MCP server

Fill in the node settings:

URL: https://mcp.coreclaw.com/mcp
Headers:
- api-key: scraper_api_YOUR_KEY_HERE

Replace scraper_api_YOUR_KEY_HERE with your actual CoreClaw API key.

Step 3: Connect to your workflow

Connect the MCP Client Tool node to an AI Agent node
Connect the AI Agent node to subsequent processing nodes

Verify the connection

Execute the workflow
The AI Agent should be able to call CoreClaw tools like search_scrapers

Example workflow

A typical n8n workflow with CoreClaw MCP:

[Trigger] → [AI Agent] → [MCP Client Tool: CoreClaw] → [Process Results] → [Save to Database]

Example prompt for the AI Agent:

Search for an Amazon product scraper on CoreClaw, run it with this URL: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CHHSFMRL, and return the product title, price, and rating.

The AI Agent will automatically:

Call search_scrapers to find an Amazon scraper
Call get_scraper_details to get the parameter schema
Call run_scraper with the URL
Poll get_run_status until completion
Call get_run_results to retrieve the data

Troubleshooting

Tools not appearing

Verify the MCP Client Tool node URL is correct
Ensure the api-key header is set
Check n8n logs for connection errors

Authentication errors

Ensure the api-key header value matches your CoreClaw API key exactly
Verify your key is active in the Console
