n8n is a self-hostable workflow automation platform. Connecting DataHawk MCP lets you build scheduled reports, alerts, and multi-step automations that combine Amazon data with other tools.

Setup

1. In n8n, add an MCP Client node (available from v1.55 onward)
2. Configure credentials:
   • Server URL: https://mcp.datahawk.co/mcp
   • Auth: API token (generated in DataHawk → Settings → Integrations → MCP)
3. Test the connection

Common workflows

Daily Slack digest

Trigger: Cron (weekdays 9am)

Flow: MCP (datahawk_plan_query → datahawk_load_data) → AI node (formatter) → Slack node

Prompt: "Summarize yesterday's performance: revenue vs. 7-day average, ACOS, any inventory red flags."

ASIN watchlist email

Trigger: Cron (weekly)

Flow: MCP (query watchlist ASINs) → filter (buy box % < 80 OR rank dropped) → Gmail node

Campaign pause safeguard

Trigger: Webhook from Amazon Ads API

Flow: MCP (fetch campaign's last 7-day ACOS) → conditional (if ACOS > 60%) → Slack alert to paid-media channel

Tips

• Chain multiple MCP calls in one workflow — n8n handles the context passing
• For reliable scheduled reports, always include an explicit date range in the prompt (don't rely on "yesterday" or "last week" being interpreted consistently)
• Use the AI Agent node if you want the workflow to decide which MCP tool to call dynamically
