Connect n8n or your own code over MCP

When to use it

Rohit builds an n8n workflow that runs every evening, lists the day's unread supplier mail and posts a summary to his team. Its agent password has only List folders, Search email and Read email.

Python example

import asyncio, os
from mcp import ClientSession
from mcp.client.streamable_http import streamablehttp_client

async def main():
    headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["XGENPLUS_TOKEN"]}
    async with streamablehttp_client("https://mcp.xgenplus.com/mcp", headers=headers) as (read, write, _):
        async with ClientSession(read, write) as session:
            await session.initialize()
            result = await session.call_tool("get_inbox_summary", {})
            print(result.content)

asyncio.run(main())

Good to know

• Mail content is untrusted. Automations act without a person watching. Never let mail content decide where mail is sent.
• Keep the token in your automation tool's credential store or an environment variable, never in code.
• Respect the limits. A RATE_LIMITED error says when to retry.
• Pass the same idempotency_key when you retry a send, so it is not sent twice.
