Use SettleGrid Tools in n8n Workflows
Install the n8n-nodes-settlegrid community node to discover, browse, and invoke SettleGrid tools directly from your n8n visual automations. No code required.
In this guide
Install the Community Node
Install the n8n-nodes-settlegrid community node in your n8n instance. Go to Settings > Community Nodes and search for "settlegrid", or install manually via npm install n8n-nodes-settlegrid in your n8n installation directory.
If you are using n8n Cloud, community nodes can be installed from the Settings panel. For self-hosted n8n, restart your instance after installation for the node to appear in the node palette.
The SettleGrid node appears under the "AI" category in the n8n node palette. You will need a SettleGrid API key to use it — sign up at settlegrid.ai/register if you do not have one.
Configure Credentials
Add your SettleGrid API key as a credential in n8n. Go to Credentials > New Credential > SettleGrid API and enter your consumer API key (starts with sg_). This key will be used for all SettleGrid node operations in your workflows.
The credential is stored securely in n8n and passed automatically to every SettleGrid node in your workflows. You only need to configure it once.
Add SettleGrid Nodes to Your Workflow
Drag the SettleGrid node from the palette into your workflow canvas. The node supports five operations:
- **List Tools** — Browse all available SettleGrid tools with optional category filtering - **Get Tool** — Retrieve full details for a specific tool by its slug - **List Categories** — Get all tool categories with tool counts - **List Servers** — Browse MCP server listings from the registry - **Get Server** — Get detailed MCP server information with pricing extensions
Connect the SettleGrid node to other nodes in your workflow to build AI-powered automations. For example, use List Tools to discover tools, then pass the results to an HTTP Request node to invoke them.
Build AI Automation Workflows
Combine SettleGrid nodes with n8n's 400+ other integrations to build powerful AI workflows. Common patterns include:
- **Scheduled discovery**: Use a Cron node to periodically check for new tools in a category, then notify your team via Slack when new tools appear. - **Tool invocation pipelines**: Use the Get Tool node to fetch tool details, then an HTTP Request node to call the tool via SettleGrid's proxy endpoint. - **Cost monitoring**: Query your SettleGrid usage data and send alerts when spending exceeds thresholds.
All tool invocations through the SettleGrid proxy are metered and billed automatically. View your usage in the SettleGrid dashboard at settlegrid.ai/dashboard.
