AI-Powered Threat Intelligence with urlscan.io
detail.loadingPreview
This workflow intelligently connects n8n's AI capabilities with urlscan.io, enabling automated website scanning and threat intelligence gathering. Leverage natural language to trigger comprehensive URL analyses and receive crucial security insights. It's perfect for enhancing your security operations with smart automation.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow showcases a powerful synergy between AI-driven automation and critical cybersecurity tools. By utilizing the Multimodal Conversational Processing (MCP) Trigger, this workflow exposes the full capabilities of the urlscan.io service to an AI agent. It allows for natural language interaction to initiate, retrieve, and manage website scans. Whether you need to perform a new scan, get a specific scan's report, or get many scans for broader analysis, the AI can orchestrate these actions seamlessly. This setup empowers security teams, researchers, and IT professionals to integrate sophisticated threat intelligence into their automated workflows, drastically reducing manual effort and speeding up incident response or proactive security monitoring by leveraging AI to interpret and act on commands related to URL analysis.
Key Features
- AI-Driven Operations: Control urlscan.io actions using natural language prompts via the MCP Trigger.
- Comprehensive Scan Management: Easily initiate new scans, retrieve single scan reports, or fetch multiple scan results.
- Automated Threat Intelligence: Integrate real-time website analysis into your security automation pipelines.
- Seamless Integration: Connects n8n's AI layer directly with the powerful urlscan.io public sandbox for deep website inspection.
- Extensible Security: Build advanced threat detection and response workflows with AI-orchestrated tools.
How To Use
- Set up the MCP Server: Configure the
urlscan.io Tool MCP Servernode with your desired AI model (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) and its respective API credentials. This node will act as the AI's interface. - Authenticate urlscan.io: Ensure the
Get a scan,Get many scans, andPerform a scanurlscan.io nodes are authenticated with your personal urlscan.io API key. - Define AI Tools: The
ai_toolconnections from the urlscan.io nodes to the MCP Server automatically expose these actions as callable tools for your AI agent. - Trigger with AI Prompts: Interact with your configured AI agent (e.g., via a chat interface or another n8n AI node) using prompts that describe the desired urlscan.io action. For example, 'Perform a scan on example.com' or 'Get the latest scan reports.'
- Monitor & Analyze: The workflow will execute the appropriate urlscan.io action, and the results will be available for further processing within your n8n workflow or returned to your AI agent.
