This n8n workflow is designed to facilitate comprehensive monitoring, testing, and reporting of API integrations through an MCP (Monitoring, Control, and Performance) server setup. It employs multiple tool nodes to evaluate key aspects such as API health, webhook delivery reliability, rate limit exhaustion, and authentication validity. The workflow is highly practical for API managers and developers who want to ensure robust, secure, and efficient API operations.
The workflow begins with a-trigger node that listens for incoming API monitoring requests at a specified webhook path, secured via bearer authentication. Once triggered, it concurrently initiates multiple specialized tools:
– **Analyze API Health** checks endpoint response times, status codes, SSL certificates, and detects anomalies using historical data.
– **Validate Webhook Reliability** tests webhook endpoints’ delivery success rates, response times, retries, and potential issues.
– **Monitor API Limits** tracks rate limit headers, calculates usage percentages, burn rates, and predicts exhaustion times to prevent rate limit breaches.
– **Verify Authentication** assesses different auth methods (Bearer, API key, Basic), verifies token expiration, and potential failure patterns.
– **Generate Client Report** aggregates and summarizes the data into a detailed report with executive summaries, performance metrics, detailed findings, and actionable recommendations.
Each node’s output integrates into a master report, providing real-time, actionable insights that help maintain API performance, security, and reliability. This workflow is ideal for organizations that rely heavily on external or internal APIs and need continuous monitoring and quick diagnostics, enabling proactive troubleshooting and transparent reporting for stakeholders.
