This workflow enables users to perform web searches directly from Telegram using the Brave search engine. By simply sending the command /brave followed by a query, the workflow retrieves search results from Brave and returns them as a Telegram message. This workflow is ideal for users who want a quick and private way to search the web without switching between apps. 🚀 This workflow is a powerful tool for automating interactions with Brave tools through Telegram, providing users with quick and easy access to information directly in their chat. Below is a breakdown of the workflow: 1. How It Works The workflow is designed to process user queries from Telegram, execute a Brave tool via the MCP Client, and send the results back to the user. Here's how it works: Telegram Trigger: The workflow starts with the Telegram Trigger node, which listens for new messages in a Telegram chat. When a message is received, the workflow checks if it starts with the command /brave. Filter Messages: The If node filters messages that start with /brave. If the message doesn't start with /brave, the workflow stops. Edit Fields: The Edit Fields node extracts the text of the message for further processing. Clean Query: The Clean Query node removes the /brave command from the message, leaving only the user's query. List Brave Tools: The List Brave Tools node retrieves the list of available tools from the MCP Client. Execute Brave Tool: The Exec Brave Tool node executes the first tool in the list using the cleaned query as input. Send Message: The Send Message node sends the result of the Brave tool execution back to the user in the Telegram chat. 2. Preliminary Steps Access to an n8n self-hosted instance and install the Community node "n8n-nodes-mcp". Please see this easy guide Get your Brave Search API Key: https://brave.com/search/api/ Telegram Bot Access Token In "List Brave Tools" create new credential as shown in this image In Environment field set this value: BRAVE_API_KEY=your-api-key 3. Set Up Steps To set up and use this workflow in n8n, follow these steps: Telegram Configuration: Set up Telegram credentials in n8n for the Telegram Trigger and Send Message nodes. Ensure the Telegram bot is authorized to read messages and send responses in the chat. MCP Client Configuration: Set up MCP Client credentials in n8n for the List Brave Tools and Exec Brave Tool nodes. Ensure the MCP Client is configured to interact with Brave tools. Test the Workflow: Send a message starting with /brave followed by a query (e.g., /brave search for AI tools) to the Telegram chat. The workflow will: Process the query. Execute the Brave tool via the MCP Client. Send the result back to the Telegram chat. Optional Customization: Modify the workflow to include additional features, such as: Adding more commands or tools. Integrating with other APIs or services for advanced use cases. Sending notifications via other channels (e.g., email, Slack) Need help customizing? Contact me for consulting and support or add me on Linkedin. An n8n automation workflow template by Davide Boizza.
