About this workflow
How it Works Disclaimer: This template is for self-hosted n8n instances only. This workflow is designed for developers, data analysts, and automation enthusiasts seeking to automate personalized news collection and delivery. It seamlessly combines n8n, OpenAI (e.g., GPT-4.1), and Bright Data’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) to collect, extract, and email the latest global news headlines. On a schedule or via a manual trigger, the workflow prompts an AI agent to gather fresh news. The agent leverages context-aware memory and integrated MCP tools to conduct both search engine queries and direct web page scraping in real time, delivering more than just meta search results—it extracts actual on-page headlines and trusted links. Results are formatted and delivered automatically by email via your SMTP provider, requiring zero manual effort once configured. --- Who is this for? - Developers, data engineers, or automation pros wanting an AI-powered, fully automated newsfeed - Teams needing up-to-date news digests from trusted global sources - Anyone self-hosting n8n who wishes to combine advanced LLMs with real-time web data --- Setup Steps - Setup time: Approx. 15–30 minutes (n8n install, API configuration, node setup) - Requirements: - Self-hosted n8n instance - OpenAI API key - Bright Data MCP account credentials - SMTP/email provider details - Install the community MCP node (n8n-nodes-mcp) for n8n and set up Bright Data MCP access. - Configure these nodes: - Schedule Trigger: For automated delivery at your chosen interval. - Edit Fields: To inject your AI news collection prompt. - AI Agent: Connects to OpenAI and MCP, enabled with memory for context. - OpenAI Chat Model: Connects via your OpenAI credentials. - MCP Clients: Configure at least two—one for search (e.g. searchengine) and one for scraping (e.g. scrapeasmarkdown). - Send Email: Set up with recipient and SMTP information. - Credentials must be entered into their respective nodes for successful execution. --- Customization Guidance - Prompt Tweaks: Refine your AI news prompt to target specific genres, regions, or sources, or broaden/narrow the coverage as needed. - Tool Configuration: Carefully define tool descriptions and parameters in MCP client nodes so the agent can pick the best tool for each step (e.g., only scrape real news sites). - Delivery Settings: Adjust email recipient(s) and SMTP details as needed. - Workflow Enhancements: Use sticky notes in n8n for extended documentation, alternate prompts, or troubleshooting tips. - Run Frequency: Set schedule as needed—from hourly to daily updates. --- Once configured, this workflow will automatically gather, extract, and email curated news headlines and links—no manual curation required!
