n8n

In n8n, Scrollhound plugs into an AI Agent node through the MCP Client Tool node, so a workflow can read social media on a schedule. Once it’s connected, n8n can read Reddit, X, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn and Hacker News in full and quote what it read, with a link on every quote. Scrollhound only reads: it never posts, likes or follows.

Add Scrollhound to an n8n agent

Section titled “Add Scrollhound to an n8n agent”

Add an MCP Client Tool node to your AI Agent node:

  • Endpoint: https://api.scrollhound.com/mcp, transport HTTP Streamable.
  • Authentication: MCP OAuth2 (dynamic client registration is on by default), or a Bearer credential with your token.

Sign in

Section titled “Sign in”

When n8n asks you to sign in, your browser opens: enter your email and the one-time code we send you, then approve the consent page. New here? The same code creates your account, with 100 free reads and no card.

To use a token instead: to get your token, run scrollhound login on your computer and copy the token value from ~/.config/scrollhound/config.json (see Log in). Treat it like a password: it lasts a year, and you can revoke it from your account page.

Try it

Section titled “Try it”

Ask n8n a research question and say to use Scrollhound:

Use Scrollhound: what do people in r/socialmedia complain about most this month? Quote them with links.
Use Scrollhound to read the comments on this video and list the questions people ask: <paste a link>
