Notion API MCP Server
This n8n workflow acts as a server for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), specifically designed to interact with a Notion API. It provides an entry point for AI models or other services to send and receive data, potentially for managing or querying Notion content.
What it does
This workflow simplifies the process of integrating with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) as a server.
- Listens for MCP Requests: The workflow is triggered by incoming requests conforming to the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This means it's ready to receive instructions or data from an AI model or another MCP-compliant client.
- Provides a Server Endpoint: It establishes an endpoint where other services can send MCP requests, effectively acting as a bridge for AI models to interact with external systems (like Notion, though the Notion integration logic is not explicitly defined in the provided JSON, it's implied by the directory name).
Prerequisites/Requirements
- n8n Instance: An active n8n instance where this workflow can be imported and run.
- Model Context Protocol (MCP) Client: Another service or AI model that can send requests formatted according to the MCP.
- Notion Account & API Integration (Implied): While not directly configured in the provided JSON, the directory name "5655-notion-api-mcp-server" strongly suggests an intention to integrate with Notion. This would typically require a Notion account and an API integration set up to allow n8n to access your Notion workspaces.
Setup/Usage
- Import the Workflow:
- Download the workflow JSON provided.
- In your n8n instance, go to "Workflows" and click "New".
- Click the "Import from JSON" button and paste the workflow JSON.
- Activate the Workflow:
- Once imported, ensure the workflow is activated by toggling the "Active" switch in the top right corner of the workflow editor.
- Configure MCP Client:
- Point your MCP-compliant client (e.g., an AI model) to the webhook URL provided by the "MCP Server Trigger" node. You can find this URL by clicking on the "MCP Server Trigger" node and looking for the "Webhook URL" in its configuration.
- Extend for Notion Integration (Optional but Recommended):
- To fulfill the implied purpose of the workflow, you would need to add further nodes after the "MCP Server Trigger" to interact with the Notion API. This would involve:
- Adding a "Notion" node.
- Configuring Notion credentials.
- Adding logic (e.g., "If" nodes, "Set" nodes) to parse the incoming MCP request and perform specific actions in Notion (e.g., create pages, update databases, query content).
- To fulfill the implied purpose of the workflow, you would need to add further nodes after the "MCP Server Trigger" to interact with the Notion API. This would involve:

Automate Dutch Public Procurement Data Collection with TenderNed
TenderNed Public Procurement What This Workflow Does This workflow automates the collection of public procurement data from TenderNed (the official Dutch tender platform). It: Fetches the latest tender publications from the TenderNed API Retrieves detailed information in both XML and JSON formats for each tender Parses and extracts key information like organization names, titles, descriptions, and reference numbers Filters results based on your custom criteria Stores the data in a database for easy querying and analysis Setup Instructions This template comes with sticky notes providing step-by-step instructions in Dutch and various query options you can customize. Prerequisites TenderNed API Access - Register at TenderNed for API credentials Configuration Steps Set up TenderNed credentials: Add HTTP Basic Auth credentials with your TenderNed API username and password Apply these credentials to the three HTTP Request nodes: "Tenderned Publicaties" "Haal XML Details" "Haal JSON Details" Customize filters: Modify the "Filter op ..." node to match your specific requirements Examples: specific organizations, contract values, regions, etc. How It Works Step 1: Trigger The workflow can be triggered either manually for testing or automatically on a daily schedule. Step 2: Fetch Publications Makes an API call to TenderNed to retrieve a list of recent publications (up to 100 per request). Step 3: Process & Split Extracts the tender array from the response and splits it into individual items for processing. Step 4: Fetch Details For each tender, the workflow makes two parallel API calls: XML endpoint - Retrieves the complete tender documentation in XML format JSON endpoint - Fetches metadata including reference numbers and keywords Step 5: Parse & Merge Parses the XML data and merges it with the JSON metadata and batch information into a single data structure. Step 6: Extract Fields Maps the raw API data to clean, structured fields including: Publication ID and date Organization name Tender title and description Reference numbers (kenmerk, TED number) Step 7: Filter Applies your custom filter criteria to focus on relevant tenders only. Step 8: Store Inserts the processed data into your database for storage and future analysis. Customization Tips Modify API Parameters In the "Tenderned Publicaties" node, you can adjust: offset: Starting position for pagination size: Number of results per request (max 100) Add query parameters for date ranges, status filters, etc. Add More Fields Extend the "Splits Alle Velden" node to extract additional fields from the XML/JSON data, such as: Contract value estimates Deadline dates CPV codes (procurement classification) Contact information Integrate Notifications Add a Slack, Email, or Discord node after the filter to get notified about new matching tenders. Incremental Updates Modify the workflow to only fetch new tenders by: Storing the last execution timestamp Adding date filters to the API query Only processing publications newer than the last run Troubleshooting No data returned? Verify your TenderNed API credentials are correct Check that you have setup youre filter proper Need help setting this up or interested in a complete tender analysis solution?
