Generate a personal newsfeed using Bright Data web scraping and GPT-4.1


How it Works

Disclaimer: This template is for self-hosted n8n instances only.

This workflow is designed for developers, data analysts, and automation enthusiasts seeking to automate personalized news collection and delivery. It seamlessly combines n8n, OpenAI (e.g., GPT-4.1), and [Bright Data’s Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://github.com/luminati-io/brightdata-mcp) to collect, extract, and email the latest global news headlines. On a schedule or via a manual trigger, the workflow prompts an AI agent to gather fresh news. The agent leverages context-aware memory and integrated MCP tools to conduct both search engine queries and direct web page scraping in real time, delivering more than just meta search results—it extracts actual on-page headlines and trusted links. Results are formatted and delivered automatically by email via your SMTP provider, requiring zero manual effort once configured.
