Use RouterMCP tools in n8n workflow automation platform for powerful integrations.

n8n

n8n is a workflow automation platform that can integrate with RouterMCP via HTTP requests. Use RouterMCP tools in your automated workflows.

Prerequisites

n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud)
RouterMCP Cloud project with API key

Using the HTTP Request Node

Add HTTP Request Node

In your n8n workflow, add an HTTP Request node.

Configure the Request

Setting	Value
Method	`POST`
URL	`https://gateway.routermcp.com/v1/mcp/your-project/request`
Authentication	Header Auth
Header Name	`Authorization`
Header Value	`Bearer your_api_key`

Set the Body

Use JSON body to make MCP requests:

List Tools:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/list"
}

Call a Tool:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "github.create_issue",
    "arguments": {
      "title": "{{ $json.issueTitle }}",
      "body": "{{ $json.issueBody }}"
    }
  }
}

Handle the Response

The response will be in JSON-RPC format:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "result": {
    "content": [
      {
        "type": "text",
        "text": "Issue created: #123"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Use the Set node or expressions to extract the result.

Example Workflow

Create GitHub Issue from Form Submission

[Webhook] → [HTTP Request to RouterMCP] → [Slack Notification]

HTTP Request Configuration:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": "{{ $runIndex }}",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "github.create_issue",
    "arguments": {
      "owner": "your-org",
      "repo": "your-repo",
      "title": "Bug: {{ $json.summary }}",
      "body": "Submitted by: {{ $json.email }}\n\n{{ $json.description }}"
    }
  }
}

Credentials Setup

Create Header Auth Credential

Go to Settings → Credentials
Click Add Credential
Select Header Auth

Configure Credential

Field	Value
Name	`RouterMCP API Key`
Header Name	`Authorization`
Header Value	`Bearer rmc_your_api_key`

Use in Nodes

Select this credential in your HTTP Request nodes that call RouterMCP.

Tip: Create a reusable n8n node or sub-workflow for RouterMCP calls to simplify complex workflows.

Error Handling

Add error handling to your workflow:

Connect an IF node after the HTTP Request
Check for $json.error in the response
Route errors to a notification or logging node

// Expression to check for errors
{{ $json.error ? 'Error' : 'Success' }}

Rate Limiting

RouterMCP enforces rate limits. For high-volume workflows, add delays between requests or batch operations where possible.
