Task #48: n8n Rebuild

Created: April 7, 2026
Status: PENDING
Priority: MEDIUM
Location: Command Center (63.143.34.217)


Overview

Rebuild n8n automation workflows from scratch. The previous n8n instance was wiped during infrastructure consolidation. This is the automation backbone for Firefrost operations.


Current State


Planned Integrations

Buffer MCP (Social Media Automation)

Buffer provides an MCP Client node for n8n, enabling automated social media posting.

Covers: Bluesky, X (Twitter), TikTok
Does NOT cover: Facebook, Instagram (would need separate Meta integration)

Configuration:

Setting Value
Node Type MCP Client
Server Transport HTTP Streamable
MCP Endpoint URL https://mcp.buffer.com/mcp
Authentication Bearer Auth
API Key (from https://publish.buffer.com/settings/api)

Automation Ideas:

Trigger Action
New subscriber (Arbiter webhook) Draft "Welcome!" post
Server status change Auto-announce server online/offline
ModpackChecker finds update Post "New version available!"
RSS feed (blog/news) Auto-draft post with link
Weekly cron Send summary of scheduled posts to Discord
Form submission Create draft from submitted content

Example Workflow: New Subscriber Announcement

Webhook (Arbiter) → Filter (new subscriber) → MCP Client (Buffer) → 
  Create draft: "Welcome @{username} to the Firefrost community! 🔥❄️"

Documentation: https://developers.buffer.com/guides/getting-started.html


Discord Webhooks

Send notifications to Discord channels for:

  • Server alerts
  • New subscribers
  • Modpack updates
  • Scheduled maintenance reminders

Arbiter Integration

Connect n8n to Arbiter webhooks for:

  • Subscription lifecycle events
  • Payment notifications
  • Chargeback alerts

Pterodactyl API

Server management automation:

  • Scheduled restarts (ties into Task #94)
  • Backup triggers
  • Resource monitoring alerts

Priority Workflows to Build

  1. Discord notification pipeline — Server alerts, subscriber events
  2. Buffer social automation — Event-triggered posts
  3. Weekly digest — Summary of activity sent to Trinity
  4. Backup verification — Confirm backups completed

  • Task #92: Desktop MCP + Dispatch (Buffer MCP for conversational management)
  • Task #94: Global Restart Scheduler (could trigger via n8n)
  • Task #97: Trinity Console Social Hub (parked — n8n approach preferred)

Notes

  • n8n MCP Client requires Node.js workflow
  • Buffer API is in beta — features may be limited
  • Rate limit: 60 requests/user/minute on Buffer API
