Send the key as `Authorization: Bearer` and, for a personal key, add the `x-auth-key` header with the user ID. Do not put `api_key` in the URL\n2. Create sessions with `POST /agents/{agent_id}/sessions`, then poll `GET /sessions/{session_id}`. A 202 means processing or queued, and the reply is not in the response\n3. Supply your own `session_id` when creating a session. A repeat returns 409, which makes a retry safe\n4. For streamed output send the same body with `stream: true` to `ws.gumloop.com`. `api.gumloop.com` answers 400 to it\n5. Treat a webhook trigger URL as a password. It returns `{\"success\": true}` at once and never carries the agent's output\n\n### n8n API + MCP\n\n1. Check the instance version before trusting it. Anything older than the September 2026 patch releases carries published high-severity flaws\n2. Ask for only the OAuth scopes the job needs. `workflow:read` plus `workflow:execute` keeps the builder and delete tools out of the tool list\n3. Call `get_workflow_details` with `detailLevel` set to execution before `execute_workflow`, which returns an execution ID and doesn't wait\n4. Follow `nextCursor` until it's null when paging workflows or executions\n5. On Cloud trial accounts `/api/v1` won't answer. Use the MCP server or a paid plan\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Gumloop or n8n API + MCP?\n\nGumloop scores 61.6 (C) on agent readiness against n8n API + MCP's 53.1 (D), and leads in 1 of 7 scored categories. n8n API + MCP leads on schema \u0026 documentation, agent ergonomics, security \u0026 auth, payments \u0026 pricing and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Gumloop and n8n API + MCP need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Gumloop and n8n API + MCP without installing anything?\n\nGumloop has a hosted endpoint at https://api.gumloop.com/api/v1.
