Live web search and real-time news in n8n AI agents

n8n gives you two good ways to use NestDaddy: an AI Agent that decides when to search, or a fixed workflow that pulls news on a schedule.

Get a key at nestdaddy.com/mcp first (free plan: 1,000 calls a month, no card).

Option 1: AI Agent with the MCP Client Tool

1. Add a Chat Trigger and an AI Agent node, and connect any chat model you use in n8n.
2. On the agent's Tool input, add an MCP Client Tool node: - Endpoint: https://mcp.nestdaddy.com/mcp - Server Transport: HTTP Streamable - Authentication: Bearer Auth, with a credential that holds your key
3. Keep all tools, or pick the ones you need (for a news assistant: news_search, country_news, read_page).
4. In the agent's system message, say when to use them:

Use news_search for anything that may have happened recently, and read_page to read
the one or two most relevant articles before answering. Give dates and article URLs.

Option 2: scheduled brief with HTTP Request

For a daily digest you don't need an agent. Use a Schedule Trigger, then an HTTP Request node:

• Method: GET
• URL: https://nestdaddy.com/api/v1/news/search
• Query parameters: q = your topic, days = 1, limit = 10
• Header: X-API-Key = your key

Send the results to an LLM node to summarise, then to Slack, Telegram or email. A brief like this uses about 30 calls a month per topic.
