  1. Import this workflow into your n8n instance
  2. Credentials Add Compliance API credentials
  3. Activate the workflow to start your MCP server
  4. Copy the webhook URL from the MCP trigger node
  5. Connect AI agents using the MCP URL

🔧 How it Works

This workflow converts the Compliance API into an MCP-compatible interface for AI agents.

MCP Trigger: Serves as your server endpoint for AI agent requests • HTTP Request Nodes: Handle API calls to https://api.ebay.com{basePath}AI Expressions: Automatically populate parameters via $fromAI() placeholders • Native Integration: Returns responses directly to the AI agent

📋 Available Operations (3 total)

🔧 Listing_Violation (1 endpoints)

GET /listing_violation: Get Violation Summary Counts

🔧 Listing_Violation_Summary (1 endpoints)

GET /listing_violation_summary: This call returns listing violation counts for a seller

🔧 Suppress_Listing_Violation (1 endpoints)

POST /suppress_listing_violation: Suppress Listing Violation

🤖 AI Integration

Parameter Handling: AI agents automatically provide values for: • Path parameters and identifiers • Query parameters and filters • Request body data • Headers and authentication

Response Format: Native Compliance API responses with full data structure

Error Handling: Built-in n8n HTTP request error management

💡 Usage Examples

Connect this MCP server to any AI agent or workflow:

Claude Desktop: Add MCP server URL to configuration • Cursor: Add MCP server SSE URL to configuration • Custom AI Apps: Use MCP URL as tool endpoint • API Integration: Direct HTTP calls to MCP endpoints

✨ Benefits

Zero Setup: No parameter mapping or configuration needed • AI-Ready: Built-in $fromAI() expressions for all parameters • Production Ready: Native n8n HTTP request handling and logging • Extensible: Easily modify or add custom logic

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/5573/5573.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
