Complete MCP server exposing 27 Amazon CloudWatch Application Insights API operations to AI agents.
⚡ Quick Setup
- Import this workflow into your n8n instance
- Credentials Add Amazon CloudWatch Application Insights credentials
- Activate the workflow to start your MCP server
- Copy the webhook URL from the MCP trigger node

🔧 How it Works
This workflow converts the Amazon CloudWatch Application Insights 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 http://applicationinsights.{region}.amazonaws.com
• AI Expressions: Automatically populate parameters via $fromAI() placeholders
• Native Integration: Returns responses directly to the AI agent
