MCP Gateway to Canada Holidays API for AI Agents

# MCP server for AI agents to access Canadian holidays API with province and year filters

This automation template enables AI agents to retrieve structured data about Canadian public holidays via a standardized MCP-compatible HTTP API, eliminating the need for direct integration with external sources. Built on n8n and LangChain, it acts as a middleware layer between the agent and canada-holidays.ca.
