This n8n workflow is designed to interact with eBay’s Taxonomy API via an MCP (Machine Communication Process) server. It facilitates automated retrieval and management of eBay category data, enabling seamless integration of taxonomy information into other systems or workflows. The main goal is to fetch category trees, aspects, subtrees, compatibility properties, and suggestions from eBay to maintain an up-to-date taxonomy database.
The workflow begins with a trigger node, ‘Taxonomy MCP Server,’ which activates the process via a webhook. This allows external systems or users to initiate taxonomy data fetches on demand. Several nodes follow, each responsible for specific API requests:
– ‘Fetch Category Tree’ retrieves the entire category hierarchy from eBay.
– ‘Retrieve Leaf Category Aspects’ gets detailed aspects of leaf categories.
– ‘Fetch Category Subtree’ retrieves subcategories for a specific category.
– ‘Get Category Suggestions’ offers category recommendations based on partial data.
– ‘Retrieve Compatibility Properties’ obtains compatibility-related data.
– ‘Fetch Compatibility Values’ gathers permissible values for compatibility properties.
– ‘Get Item Aspects by Category’ fetches item-specific aspects linked to a category.
– ‘Fetch Default Category Tree ID’ identifies the default root category ID for initial data setup.
The nodes are interconnected to enable comprehensive and dynamic data retrieval, suitable for maintaining a robust eBay product taxonomy in internal systems, improving product listing accuracy, and supporting category-based automation. This workflow is especially useful for eCommerce businesses that need to regularly synchronize their product categories with eBay’s latest taxonomy structure, ensuring listings are correctly classified and optimized for search and compliance.
