# MCP server on n8n for AI agents: no-code integration with polling API
This automation template exposes an external REST API via an MCP-compatible interface, allowing AI agents to call operations (e.g., list and create questions) through a single endpoint. Enables seamless AI-to-API integration without writing code. Ideal for developers and technical leads building tool-augmented AI agents.
## Who it´s for
- Developers integrating AI agents with external APIs.
- Automation engineers using n8n as middleware for AI workflows.
- Technical leads creating MCP-enabled agents with external data access.
## What the automation does
- Receives requests from AI agents via MCP trigger.
- Handles ´List Questions´ and ´Create Question´ operations.
- Sends GET request to
https://polls.apiblueprint.org/questions to retrieve question list.
- Executes POST request to create new question using $fromAI() context parameters.
- Returns responses in original external API format.
## What´s included
- Ready-to-use n8n workflow.
- Logic for handling MCP requests.
- Integrations with polls.apiblueprint.org and generic AI Agent.
- Basic text instructions for setup and adaptation.
## Requirements for setup
- n8n account with access to HTTP nodes.
- AI agent system that supports MCP protocol.
- Network access and permissions for outbound HTTPS requests to polls.apiblueprint.org.
## Benefits and outcomes
- Accelerates AI-to-API integration.
- Eliminates need for custom backend code.
- Lowers barrier for using external data in AI assistants.
