What is Shortpixel Automation via Rube MCP?

It automates Shortpixel operations using Composio's Shortpixel toolkit through the Rube MCP platform, enabling discovery, connection management, and tool execution in structured workflows.

Do I need API keys to use this skill?

No API keys are required. It uses the MCP endpoint (https://rube.app/mcp) and a Shortpixel toolkit connection managed via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS.

How do I get the current tool schemas?

Use RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS with a Shortpixel-focused use_case (e.g., 'Shortpixel operations') to retrieve tool slugs, input schemas, and recommended execution plans.

Shortpixel Automation via Rube MCP

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

Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/shortpixel

Prerequisites

Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
Active Shortpixel connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit shortpixel
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.

Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit shortpixel
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: "Shortpixel 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 Shortpixel task"}]
session: {id: "existing_session_id"}

Step 2: Check Connection

RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
toolkits: ["shortpixel"]
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

Quick Reference

Operation	Approach
Find tools	`RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` with Shortpixel-specific use case
Connect	`RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `shortpixel`
Execute	`RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL` with discovered tool slugs
Bulk ops	`RUBE_REMOTE_WORKBENCH` with `run_composio_tool()`
Full schema	`RUBE_GET_TOOL_SCHEMAS` for tools with `schemaRef`

Overview

Automate Shortpixel operations through Composio's Shortpixel toolkit via Rube MCP. It emphasizes discovering current tool schemas with RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS before every run and validating an ACTIVE Shortpixel connection. Use this to streamline batch image optimization and related tasks.

How This Skill Works

Workflow begins by discovering available Shortpixel tools with RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS, then checks/establishes an ACTIVE connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS, and finally executes the chosen tool with RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL using the correct memory payload and session_id.

When to Use It

When you need to automate a batch of Shortpixel tasks without manual clicks
When tool schemas update and you must fetch current slugs and args first
When you want to verify connection status before running workflows
When executing multiple tools in a single session to optimize a project
When performing bulk or paginated tool discovery to enumerate all available operations

Quick Start

Step 1: Verify Rube MCP connectivity by running RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS and confirm tool schemas are returned
Step 2: Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit 'shortpixel' and ensure the status is ACTIVE
Step 3: Discover tools with RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS, then execute a chosen tool using RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL with a memory payload and a session_id

Best Practices

Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to fetch current tool schemas
Verify RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS shows ACTIVE before executing tools
Use exact field names and types from search results; avoid hardcoding slugs
Include memory: {} in RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL calls
Reuse session IDs within a workflow and generate new ones for new runs

Example Use Cases

Batch optimize images by discovering TOOL_SLUG_FROM_SEARCH for 'image optimization' and running it with arguments like {image_ids:[...], quality:70} in a single session
Convert assets in a folder to WebP by discovering TOOL_SLUG_FROM_SEARCH with webp conversion use_case and executing with {folder_id:'FOLDER123', target:'webp', quality:80}
Resize and compress a batch by executing TOOL_SLUG_FROM_SEARCH with {width:1024, height:768, mode:'compress'}
Retry a failed optimization by re-running the same TOOL_SLUG_FROM_SEARCH within the same session after a failure
Bulk operations via RUBE_REMOTE_WORKBENCH: run_composio_tool() to execute several Shortpixel tasks collected from discovery
