A social media MCP server for n8n workflows

n8n's MCP Client Tool node turns a remote MCP server into a bundle of tools an AI Agent node can call inside a workflow. Point it at SkedCast's endpoint, choose header auth with a SkedCast API key (simpler than OAuth for a headless automation server), and wire it into your Agent's tool input.

Add a social media MCP node for n8n#

  • Add an MCP Client Tool node (n8n-nodes-langchain.toolmcp) to your workflow, or install the community node n8n-nodes-mcp if you're on an n8n version without it built in.
  • Set the endpoint to https://api.skedcast.com/mcp and the connection type to Streamable HTTP (SSE is deprecated across MCP clients generally — use HTTP).
  • For authentication, choose Header Auth and send Authorization: Bearer sked_live_YOUR_KEY — SkedCast's MCP server accepts an API key as a bearer token exactly like the REST API, which avoids setting up an interactive OAuth flow on a server with no browser to complete it in.
  • Wire the MCP Client Tool's output into an AI Agent node's Tool input, and the agent can call any tool your key's scopes allow.

FAQ

Which n8n node should I use — the built-in one or the community package?
Newer n8n versions ship an MCP Client Tool node (n8n-nodes-langchain.toolmcp) built in for use inside AI Agent workflows; if yours doesn't have it, the community node n8n-nodes-mcp provides equivalent functionality.
Does the node support the older SSE transport?
It can, but SSE is being phased out in favor of Streamable HTTP across the MCP ecosystem — SkedCast's server is Streamable HTTP, so configure the node for that transport, not SSE.
