Automate Files Com operations through Composio's Files Com toolkit via Rube MCP.
Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/files_com
Prerequisites
- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
- Active Files Com connection via
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONSwith toolkitfiles_com - Always call
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLSfirst 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.
- Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLSresponds - Call
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONSwith toolkitfiles_com - If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete setup
- Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
Tool Discovery
Always discover available tools before executing workflows:
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
queries: [{use_case: "Files Com 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 Files Com task"}]
session: {id: "existing_session_id"}
Step 2: Check Connection
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
toolkits: ["files_com"]
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_CONNECTIONSshows ACTIVE status before executing tools - Schema compliance: Use exact field names and types from the search results
- Memory parameter: Always include
memoryinRUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOLcalls, 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

Automate Files Com operations through Composio's Files Com toolkit using Rube MCP. This skill emphasizes discovering current tool schemas first and maintaining an ACTIVE connection before executing workflows.
How This Skill Works
You first discover available tools with RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS to obtain tool slugs and input schemas. Then you verify the connection to the files_com toolkit via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS and activate it if needed. Finally, you execute the chosen tool with RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL, including a memory object and the required arguments.
When to Use It
- You need to automate a Files Com operation and tool schemas change frequently
- You want to run a recurring Files Com task using the latest tool slugs and schemas
- You must ensure an ACTIVE Files Com connection before executing any tools
- You are building a multi-step workflow that discovers tools, validates the connection, then executes
- You need to handle pagination or large tool lists when discovering available tools
Quick Start
- Step 1: Add the MCP endpoint https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration and verify RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
- Step 2: Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with the toolkit files_com and set the connection to ACTIVE (auth if required)
- Step 3: Use RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL with the discovered tool_slug and the required arguments, including memory
Best Practices
- Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to fetch current tool schemas before any run
- Check that the Files Com connection is ACTIVE via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS before executing tools
- Pass exact field names and types from the discovered tool schemas; do not hardcode slugs or args
- Include memory in every RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL call, even if it is empty
- Reuse session IDs within a workflow and avoid creating new sessions for every step
Example Use Cases
- Discover the latest Files Com tools, select a slug for listing files, and execute with the appropriate folder input
- Validate an active connection to Files Com, then run a tool to fetch metadata for a batch of files
- Synchronize a local folder with Files Com by discovering the upload tool and invoking it with file details
- Orchestrate a multi-step automation: discover tools, confirm connection, and run a move or copy operation
- Debug a workflow by listing tools, confirming ACTIVE connection, and logging tool responses for auditing
