About this workflow
This workflow enables users to perform web searches directly from Telegram using the Brave search engine. By simply sending the command /brave followed by a query, the workflow retrieves search results from Brave and returns them as a Telegram message. This workflow is ideal for users who want a quick and private way to search the web without switching between apps. 🚀 This workflow is a powerful tool for automating interactions with Brave tools through Telegram, providing users with quick and easy access to information directly in their chat. Below is a breakdown of the workflow: --- 1. How It Works The workflow is designed to process user queries from Telegram, execute a Brave tool via the MCP Client, and send the results back to the user. Here's how it works: 1. Telegram Trigger: - The workflow starts with the Telegram Trigger node, which listens for new messages in a Telegram chat. - When a message is received, the workflow checks if it starts with the command /brave. 2. Filter Messages: - The If node filters messages that start with /brave. If the message doesn't start with /brave, the workflow stops. 3. Edit Fields: - The Edit Fields node extracts the text of the message for further processing. 4. Clean Query: - The Clean Query node removes the /brave command from the message, leaving only the user's query. 5. List Brave Tools: - The List Brave Tools node retrieves the list of available tools from the MCP Client. 6. Execute Brave Tool: - The Exec Brave Tool node executes the first tool in the list using the cleaned query as input. 7. Send Message: - The Send Message node sends the result of the Brave tool execution back to the user in the Telegram chat. --- 2. Preliminary Steps - Access to an n8n self-hosted instance and install the Community node "n8n-nodes-mcp". Please see this easy guide - Get your Brave Search API Key: - Telegram Bot Access Token In "List Brave Tools" create new credential as shown in this image In Environment field set this value: BRAVEAPIKEY=your-api-key --- 3. Set Up Steps To set up and use this workflow in n8n, follow these steps: 1. Telegram Configuration: - Set up Telegram credentials in n8n for the Telegram Trigger and Send Message nodes. - Ensure the Telegram bot is authorized to read messages and send responses in the chat. 2. MCP Client Configuration: - Set up MCP Client credentials in n8n for the List Brave Tools and Exec Brave Tool nodes. - Ensure the MCP Client is configured to interact with Brave tools. 3. Test the Workflow: - Send a message starting with /brave followed by a query (e.g., /brave search for AI tools) to the Telegram chat. - The workflow will: - Process the query. - Execute the Brave tool via the MCP Client. - Send the result back to the Telegram chat. 4. Optional Customization: - Modify the workflow to include additional features, such as: - Adding more commands or tools. - Integrating with other APIs or services for advanced use cases. - Sending notifications via other channels (e.g., email, Slack) --- Need help customizing?
