Your Favourite Open Source Software?

I've been playing with n8n in my homelab to create AI agents with my self-hosted Ollama. I'm hoping I can automate the process of compiling posts for the software list from URL and posting as a draft in Wordpress.

I'm also hoping I can use it to update the entries that were imported from the original list to include the same level of information the ones that were added after the site moved to Wordpress. N8n has a Wordpress node that can be used as a tool for the AI Agent.

Came across quite few new projects with my AI Agents experiments.

My AI agent stack is currently n8n, Ollama, Firecrawl (for scraping) and the n8n Wordpress node. Self-hosted Firecrawl works quite well but I need to figure out how to install the Firecrawl MCP server so I can use it as a tool in the agent. Also having trouble with the AI outputting additional info and summaries, practically ignoring the very specfic instructions in the system prompt so more work to do there.

First entries successfully created from URL with n8n AI Agents . Self-hosted n8n and Firecrawl but so far free models seem to be too dumb to execute the Firecrawl MCP tool properly so I had to resort to crediting a few dollar to Openrouter and used gpt-4.1-nano which seems to be a bit more successful.

The agent is prompted to scrape the url using Firecrawl, determine the info we need for the post and output JSON according to a set output template. The JSON is passed to an HTML template node to format the post and then to a Wordpress node to create the post in draft.

Still needs a bit of testing but quite chuffed to get it sort of working.
