Community n8n node for MentionFox and FoxAPIs.

This package gives n8n workflows direct access to MentionFox's research, vetting, dossier, mention-scanning, lead-enrichment, and GEO/AEO scoring tools through the MentionFox MCP (Model Context Protocol) server.

Features

  • 8 resources with 30+ operations in a single MentionFox node
  • 5 polling triggers for new mentions, high-intent leads, GEO score drops, new battlecards, and crisis signals
  • 8 ready-to-import workflow templates in /templates/
  • JSON-RPC 2.0 / MCP transport to https://mentionfox.com/mcp
  • Bearer-token credential with built-in test endpoint (hits MCP tools/list)

Installation

In your n8n instance, go to Settings → Community Nodes and install:

n8n-nodes-mentionfox

Or, for self-hosted n8n via npm:

npm install n8n-nodes-mentionfox

Authentication

This node uses bearer-token authentication against the MentionFox MCP server.

  1. Visit https://mentionfox.com/connect
  2. Sign in with your MentionFox account
  3. Copy the bearer access token (24-hour expiry; refresh via the same page)
  4. In n8n, create a new MentionFox API credential and paste the token

n8n will run a credential test against tools/list on the MCP server. A green check confirms the token is live.

v0.1 note: full OAuth-grant flow inside the credential editor is on the v1.1 roadmap. v0.1 uses paste-token for simplicity.

Resources

Resource Operations
Subject vet_person, get_dossier, compare_subjects, evaluate_influencer
Mention scan, list_recent, score_intent, get_by_id
Lead find_contact, enrich_person, score_lead, push_to_dealflow
GEOFixer run_audit, get_score, list_gaps, autopilot_status, autopilot_toggle
Outreach build_sequence, send_sequence, get_sequence_status, list_replies
Chat start_session, send_message, get_history, export_transcript
Den list_dens, get_den_widget_data, create_den_task, list_den_tasks
Client list_clients, create_client, get_client_geo_score, list_client_battlecards

Operations whose dedicated MCP tool is pending in v0.1 surface as transparent stubs that return the dashboard URL plus your input arguments unchanged. Workflows wired against stubs light up automatically once MentionFox MCP v1.5 ships dedicated tools — no node version bump required.

See /docs/ for per-resource documentation.

Triggers (5)

Trigger What it does
On New Mention Polls scan_for_mentions, dedupes by source URL
On New High-Intent Lead Polls scan + heuristic intent score (above threshold)
On GEO Score Drop Polls get_geofixer_score, fires on N-point drops
On New Battlecard Generated Polls battlecards (stub — heartbeat only in v0.1)
On Crisis Signal Detected Polls scan filtered to crisis keywords; recommended faster cadence

Worked examples

Example 1: Vet inbound founder leads from HubSpot

Import /templates/01-auto-vet-inbound-founder-leads.json to see the full wiring.

Example 2: Daily GEO health check

  1. Schedule trigger at 09:00 daily
  2. MentionFox node: GEOFixerrun_audit for your domain
  3. MentionFox node: GEOFixerlist_gaps, top 5
  4. Notion node logs score; Slack node summarises

Import /templates/02-daily-geo-health-check.json.

Example 3: Reddit signal to personalised outreach

  1. MentionFox Trigger (On New High-Intent Lead) on your topic + Reddit only
  2. MentionFox node: Leadfind_contact
  3. MentionFox node: Outreachbuild_sequence (stub in v0.1, returns dashboard URL)

Pricing transparency

MentionFox tools cost credits per call. The MentionFox node passes through the same credit charges your account would incur on the dashboard:

Operation Cost
vet_person (founder) 200 credits
vet_person (investor) 30 credits
get_dossier 30 credits cold / FREE on cache hit
compare_subjects 5 credits per cached profile
Mention scan 3 credits per source
enrich_person 5 credits
save_to_my_pipeline FREE
GEOFixer (all ops) FREE for paid GEOFixer subscribers

Disambiguation always returns a candidate list at zero credits — you only pay when a real subject is locked in.
