Authorizing MCP node with OAuth

Hello!

Thanks so much for putting this thread together. I noticed there might be two conversations happening in this thread at once.

One is allowing n8n to connect to other MCPs via OAuth (like Notion) from the MCP tool which looks like it just got released in [email protected] (PR here).

The other though is how to authenticate workflows triggered by MCP so that we can leverage n8n as a go-between and trigger workflows from something like ChatGPT (which require OAuth).

I myself was mixing both up so posting this in case it clears it up for anyone else. Do we know if there’s any movement on the second use case I’ve mentioned above?

Yes! this exact use case of calling n8n via ChatGPT would be a major unlock. They really need to add OAuth support to their MCP Server node. Hoping for some movement on this.
