MCP tools in n8n for AI agents to access NSIDC data: se

This automation template enables AI agents to directly interact with the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) API via an MCP server in n8n. Designed for professionals integrating scientific climate data into AI applications without manual API handling.

## Who it´s for
- Developers integrating scientific geospatial data into AI applications
- Researchers using AI to analyze climate datasets
- MLOps engineers configuring MCP-compatible tools for AI agents

## What the automation does
- Exposes the NSIDC Web Service API as four HTTP tools for AI agents
- Processes agent requests via mcp_server_request trigger
- Automatically fills parameters using $fromAI() expressions
- Executes document search, facet retrieval, search engine description, and term suggestions
- Preserves original API response structure for client application compatibility

## What´s included
- Ready-to-use n8n workflow with MCP Server
- Logic for handling four types of AI agent requests
- Integrations with NSIDC Web Service API and generic AI Agent
- Basic text instructions for setup and adaptation

## Requirements for setup
- n8n instance with MCP Server enabled
- Access to NSIDC Web Service API (public or authorized)
- Compatible AI agent supporting MCP tools (e.g., based on LangChain)

## Benefits and outcomes
- Accelerates access to scientific data through AI interfaces
- Eliminates manual API work for researchers
- Enables building autonomous AI assistants for climate data analysis
- Supports MCP standard for compatibility across AI frameworks
- Maintains NSIDC response format, simplifying integration into existing systems
