Dovetail Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Dovetail operations through Composio's Dovetail toolkit via Rube MCP.

Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/dovetail

Prerequisites

  • Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
  • Active Dovetail connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit dovetail
  • Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Setup

Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

  1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
  2. Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit dovetail
  3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete setup
  4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Tool Discovery

Always discover available tools before executing workflows:

RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
queries: [{use_case: "Dovetail operations", known_fields: ""}]
session: {generate_id: true}

This returns available tool slugs, input schemas, recommended execution plans, and known pitfalls.

Core Workflow Pattern

Step 1: Discover Available Tools

RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
queries: [{use_case: "your specific Dovetail task"}]
session: {id: "existing_session_id"}

Step 2: Check Connection

RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
toolkits: ["dovetail"]
session_id: "your_session_id"

Step 3: Execute Tools

RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL
tools: [{
  tool_slug: "TOOL_SLUG_FROM_SEARCH",
  arguments: {/* schema-compliant args from search results */}
}]
memory: {}
session_id: "your_session_id"

Known Pitfalls

  • Always search first: Tool schemas change. Never hardcode tool slugs or arguments without calling RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
  • Check connection: Verify RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS shows ACTIVE status before executing tools
  • Schema compliance: Use exact field names and types from the search results
  • Memory parameter: Always include memory in RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL calls, even if empty ({})
  • Session reuse: Reuse session IDs within a workflow. Generate new ones for new workflows
  • Pagination: Check responses for pagination tokens and continue fetching until complete

Overview

Dovetail Automation via Rube MCP enables running Dovetail workflows through Composio’s toolkit. It emphasizes discovering current tool schemas with RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS before execution to ensure correct tool slugs and input structures. This approach keeps automation aligned with live schemas and supports reliable, repeatable Dovetail tasks.

How This Skill Works

Requires a connected Rube MCP (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available) and an ACTIVE Dovetail connection (RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit dovetail). The workflow starts by discovering tools, then checking the connection status, and finally executing a discovered tool via RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL with a memory payload and the session_id.

When to Use It

  • Starting a new Dovetail workflow and requiring the latest tool schemas
  • Ensuring a Dovetail connection is ACTIVE before running workflows
  • Executing a discovered tool with the appropriate arguments
  • Reusing a session across multiple Dovetail tasks
  • Handling pagination by fetching all tool schemas and results

Quick Start

  1. Step 1: Verify Rube MCP is available by calling RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
  2. Step 2: Connect to Dovetail with RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS toolkits: ["dovetail"]
  3. Step 3: Discover tools with RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS, choose a tool_slug from the results, and execute with RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL using a session_id

Best Practices

  • Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS before execution to fetch current tool slugs and schemas
  • Check RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS shows ACTIVE before running workflows
  • Use the exact field names and types from the search results
  • Always include memory in RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL calls, even if empty
  • Reuse session IDs across related workflows and manage pagination

Example Use Cases

  • Create a Dovetail task from a chat prompt using a discovered tool slug
  • Update Dovetail records with external status updates by executing a mapped tool
  • Run a batch of Dovetail analyses by sequentially calling discovered tools
  • Bulk import tasks into Dovetail from an external CSV via a discovered tool
  • Audit available Dovetail tools and refresh automation to schema changes
