n8n

Connect FeedNest to n8n workflows via the MCP Client node or HTTP Request node.

Prerequisites

Option A: MCP Client node (recommended)

n8n has a built-in MCP Client node that connects directly to FeedNest’s MCP server. Best for AI Agent workflows.

  1. 1

    Add an MCP Client Tool node

    In your n8n workflow, add an MCP Client Tool node (under AI → Tools).

  2. 2

    Configure the connection

    Fill in the following fields:

    URLhttps://mcp.feednest.com
    AuthenticationBearer Authentication
    Bearer Tokenfn_live_...
  3. 3

    Connect to an AI Agent

    Wire the MCP Client Tool node as a tool input to an AI Agent node. The agent will automatically discover all FeedNest tools.

Standalone MCP Client node

n8n also offers a standalone MCP Client node (not the Tool variant) for calling MCP tools directly in non-AI workflows. Configure it the same way with Bearer authentication.

Option B: HTTP Request node (REST API)

For traditional automation workflows without AI agents, use the HTTP Request node with FeedNest’s REST API.

  1. 1

    Add an HTTP Request node

    In your workflow, add an HTTP Request node.

  2. 2

    Configure the request

    Fill in the following fields:

    MethodGET (or POST/PATCH/DELETE)
    URLhttps://feednest.com/api/v1/articles
    AuthenticationGeneric Credential Type → Header Auth
    Header NameAuthorization
    Header ValueBearer fn_live_...
  3. 3

    Test the request

    Click Execute Node to verify the connection returns your articles.

Common REST API endpoints

GET /api/v1/articles — list articles

GET /api/v1/feeds — list feeds

GET /api/v1/saved — list saved articles

GET /api/v1/tags — list tags

POST /api/v1/articles/{id}/read — mark as read

POST /api/v1/articles/{id}/save — save article

Verify your connection

After setup, try one of these prompts to confirm everything is working:

  • →“What are my unread articles?”
  • →“Summarize my latest saved articles”
  • →“How many feeds am I subscribed to?”

Troubleshooting

MCP Client node shows no tools

Verify the URL is https://mcp.feednest.com and your API key is valid. Check that authentication is set to Bearer.

HTTP Request returns 401

Ensure the Authorization header is formatted as 'Bearer fn_live_...' (with a space after Bearer). Check that the key hasn’t been revoked.

HTTP Request returns 403

Your API key may not have the required scope. Check permissions in Settings → Developer API.
