Overview
Claap's MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server integration allows you to connect your Claap account directly to n8n workflows. Once connected, you can create automation workflows that can query your meeting recordings, contacts, company data, and deal information from your Claap workspace, enabling you to build powerful automated processes that can leverage and analyze your Claap data.
In this article you will learn how to add Claap's MCP server as a node in your n8n workflow.

Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
An active Claap account with a paid subscription
Access to an n8n workspace
A Claap API key for your workspace
Meeting recordings, contacts, or deal data in your Claap workspace
Getting Your Claap API Key
Before setting up the MCP connection in n8n, you'll need to obtain a Claap API key. For detailed instructions on how to generate your API key, please refer to our article Using Claap's API.
Step-by-Step Connection Guide
Step 1: Install the MCP Client Node
If you don't already have the MCP Client node installed, you'll need to add it to your n8n workspace:
Open your n8n workspace
Search for and install the node called "MCP Client"
Once installed, the MCP Client node will be available in your node library for use in workflows
Step 2: Create Bearer Authentication Credentials
In order to authenticate your connection to Claap's MCP server, you will need to specify the proper bearer token when you configure the MCP Client node in n8n. If you don't already have Credentials created in n8n which hold your Claap API key, follow these steps:
In your n8n workspace, navigate to Credentials
Click Create Credential
Create a new Bearer Auth credential
Enter your Claap API key in the token field
Save the credential with a descriptive name like "Claap API Key"
Step 3: Add and Configure the MCP Client Node
In your n8n workflow, add a new MCP Client node
Click on the MCP Client node to open its configuration
Configure the following settings:
Endpoint: Enter
https://api.claap.io/mcpServer Transport: Select HTTP Streamable
Authentication: Choose Bearer Auth
Credential: Select the Bearer Auth credential you created in Step 2
Step 4: Select Available Tools
In the MCP Client configuration, you can select which Claap tools you want to make available to your workflow in Tools to Include. Simply choose which tools are relevant to your workflow needs:
More information on the available tools is provided below in this article.
Step 5 [Optional]: Connect to an AI Agent Node
Add an AI Agent node to your workflow
Configure the AI Agent with:
A chat model of your choice
Memory settings as needed
Tools: Select the MCP Client node you just configured
You can also include other tools and MCP servers alongside the Claap MCP client.
Here is a very simple example of a n8n workflow with an AI Agent and an MCP Client:
Available Tools
Once connected, the Claap MCP server provides your n8n workflows with access to the following tools:
List Workspaces: View all Claap workspaces you have access to
Search Companies: Find company information from your Claap database
Search Contacts: Locate contacts and external contacts in your workspace
Search Deals: Query your deal database with various filters and sorting options
Search Meeting Recordings: Perform semantic or keyword searches on your meeting transcripts and recordings
Using the Integration
After successful configuration of the MCP Client node in your n8n workflow, the workflow can leverage Claap's MCP server. You will then be able to:
Create triggers that initiate workflows based on external events
Use the AI agent to query Claap data as part of automated processes
Build complex workflows that combine Claap data with other systems and services
Set up scheduled workflows that analyze meeting data or update CRM records
Example workflow scenarios:
Automatically summarize weekly meetings and send reports
Extract action items from meeting recordings and create tasks
Sync contact information between Claap and other CRM systems
Generate deal progress reports based on meeting content
Alert teams when competitors are mentioned in meetings

Troubleshooting
Node Installation Issues:
Ensure you have the necessary permissions to install nodes in your n8n workspace
Check that your n8n version supports MCP Client nodes
Try refreshing your node library if the MCP Client doesn't appear
Authentication Problems:
Verify that your Claap API key is correctly entered in the Bearer Auth credential
Ensure your API key has the necessary permissions for your Claap workspace
Check that your API key hasn't expired or been revoked
Connection Issues:
Confirm the endpoint URL is entered correctly:
api.claap.io/mcpVerify that HTTP Streamable Transport is selected
Test your internet connection and ensure n8n can reach external APIs
Workflow Execution Problems:
Check that the MCP Client node is properly connected to your AI Agent
Verify that the selected tools are appropriate for your query
Review workflow execution logs for specific error messages
Ensure your Claap workspace contains the data you're trying to access
