Automate Strava operations through Composio's Strava toolkit via Rube MCP.
Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/strava
Prerequisites
- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
- Active Strava connection via
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONSwith toolkitstrava - 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 toolkitstrava - 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: "Strava 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 Strava task"}]
session: {id: "existing_session_id"}
Step 2: Check Connection
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
toolkits: ["strava"]
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 Strava operations through Composio's Strava toolkit using Rube MCP. The skill centers on discovering current tool schemas with RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS and managing Strava connections with RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS to execute workflows reliably.
How This Skill Works
First discover available tools with RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS to get up-to-date input schemas. Then verify the Strava connection is ACTIVE with RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS, and finally execute the chosen tool using RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL, including a memory payload and the session_id. Tool schemas change, so never hardcode slugs or arguments.
When to Use It
- When you need to automate a Strava operation but want the latest tool schemas from the ecosystem
- When establishing a Strava connection in a workflow and ensuring it's ACTIVE before actions
- When you have a discovered tool slug and want to execute it with proper arguments
- When chaining multiple Strava steps in a single session and reusing session IDs
- When performing bulk or advanced tasks via RUBE_REMOTE_WORKBENCH or paginated results and needing memory and schemas
Quick Start
- Step 1: RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS with use_case: "Strava operations"
- Step 2: RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS for toolkit "strava"
- Step 3: RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL with tool_slug from search results and memory: {}
Best Practices
- Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS before any workflow to get current tool schemas
- Verify ACTIVE status with RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS before executing tools
- Use exact field names and types from the search results; do not guess
- Include memory in RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL calls, even if empty ({})
- Reuse session IDs within a workflow; create new sessions for new flows
Example Use Cases
- Discover Strava tools with RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS, connect using RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS, then run a discovered tool slug to fetch recent activities
- After discovering a tool, verify ACTIVE status and execute with the required arguments and memory
- Chain: fetch activities (session X) then update an activity using the same session to avoid duplication
- Handle pagination by inspecting tokens in tool responses and continuing fetches until complete
- Use RUBE_REMOTE_WORKBENCH to run multiple composio tools in bulk with run_composio_tool
