This guide shows you how to connect Padel Analyst to n8n using the MCP Client Tool node, so your AI Agent workflows can query professional padel data.

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

n8n Instance

A self-hosted or cloud n8n instance with AI features enabled

Padel API Token

Get your token from the API Tokens page

​
Installation Steps

1

Add an MCP Client Tool node

In your workflow, add an AI Agent node, then connect an MCP Client Tool node to its Tool input.
2

Configure the connection

In the MCP Client Tool node, set:
FieldValue
Endpointhttps://padelapi.org/mcp
Server TransportHTTP Streamable
AuthenticationHeader Auth
3

Create the Header Auth credential

Create a new Header Auth credential with the following values, replacing YOUR_API_TOKEN with your token from the API Tokens page:
FieldValue
NameAuthorization
ValueBearer YOUR_API_TOKEN
4

Select the tools to expose

Set Tools to Include to All, or pick specific tools (e.g. search-players, show-player-stats) to limit what the agent can call. Execute the node once to confirm the tool list loads from the server.

​
Example Usage

With the MCP Client Tool connected, your AI Agent can answer prompts such as:
  • “Who won the last Premier Padel Major?”
  • “Show me the head-to-head between Lebron/Galan and Coello/Tapia”
  • “What are Arturo Coello’s statistics this season?”
  • “List all P1 tournaments in 2025”
  • “Simulate a match between the top two ranked pairs”
Combine it with other n8n nodes to automate reports, post results to Slack, or trigger workflows on new match data.

​
Troubleshooting

Verify the endpoint is https://padelapi.org/mcp and the transport is set to HTTP Streamable. Check that your API token is valid and that you have an active Plus plan subscription.
Make sure the Header Auth credential uses the exact name Authorization and value Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN, with a space after Bearer.
The node requires a recent version of n8n. Update your instance to the latest version to access the AI agent and MCP nodes.
