Complete MCP server exposing 16 U.S. EPA Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) - Resource Conservation and Recovery Act API operations to AI agents.

⚡ Quick Setup

  1. Import this workflow into your n8n instance
  2. Credentials Add U.S. EPA Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) - Resource Conservation and Recovery Act 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 U.S. EPA Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) - Resource Conservation and Recovery Act 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://echodata.epa.gov/echoAI Expressions: Automatically populate parameters via $fromAI() placeholders • Native Integration: Returns responses directly to the AI agent

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/5636/5636.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.
