Using AgentDeals with n8n

n8n is a popular open-source workflow automation platform. With its MCP Server Trigger node, you can connect AgentDeals tools to n8n workflows — combining pricing intelligence with 400+ other integrations (Slack, email, databases, CRMs).

AgentDeals provides 5 MCP tools with data on 1,574+ developer deals across 60 categories: search_deals, plan_stack, compare_vendors, track_changes, and get_referral_code.

Quick Setup

1. Open your n8n instance and create a new workflow
2. Add an "MCP Server Trigger" node
3. In the node settings, configure the MCP server:
   - Server URL: https://agentdeals.dev/mcp
   - Transport: Streamable HTTP
4. The node will discover all 4 AgentDeals tools automatically
5. Connect the MCP Server Trigger to your downstream nodes
   (e.g., Slack, Email, Google Sheets, HTTP Request)

n8n's MCP Server Trigger node handles the MCP protocol automatically. Once connected, you can use any AgentDeals tool in your workflow — the node exposes tool inputs as configurable fields.

For self-hosted n8n, you can also use the local stdio transport by running npx -y agentdeals as a subprocess.

MCP Server Trigger configuration:
- Tool: plan_stack
- Input: {
    "query": "Estimate costs for our stack: Vercel, Neon,
     Clerk, Resend, Sentry at 10K MAU"
  }

Email node:
