Automate Updown IO operations through Composio's Updown IO toolkit via Rube MCP.
Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io
Prerequisites
- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
- Active Updown IO connection via
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONSwith toolkitupdown_io - 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 toolkitupdown_io - 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: "Updown IO 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 Updown IO task"}]
session: {id: "existing_session_id"}
Step 2: Check Connection
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
toolkits: ["updown_io"]
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 Updown IO operations using Composio's Updown IO toolkit through Rube MCP. This skill emphasizes discovering current tool schemas with RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS, verifying an active Updown IO connection, and executing chosen tools with properly structured arguments.
How This Skill Works
Start by discovering available Updown IO tools with RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS to obtain slugs, input schemas, and execution plans. Then check the Updown IO connection with RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS and confirm the status is ACTIVE. Finally, run the selected tool via RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL, supplying exact schema fields and including a memory object (even if empty) along with the session_id from your workflow.
When to Use It
- When you need to automate Updown IO tasks and require the latest tool schemas for accuracy
- When establishing or validating a Rube MCP connection to Updown IO and ensuring ACTIVE status
- When executing a multi-step Updown IO workflow using discovered tool slugs
- When integrating Updown IO operations into scheduled tasks or pipelines and reusing session IDs
- When performing bulk operations or audits using bulk tooling workflows
Quick Start
- Step 1: Ensure Rube MCP is connected and that RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds to verify tool schemas
- Step 2: Use RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS to discover available Updown IO tools and select a TOOL_SLUG with its required arguments
- Step 3: Execute the chosen tool with RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL, including memory and a valid session_id after confirming the connection is ACTIVE
Best Practices
- Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to fetch current tool schemas and slugs
- Verify RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS shows ACTIVE before running any tools
- Use exact field names and types from the discovered input schemas
- Always include memory in RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL calls, even if empty
- Reuse session IDs within a workflow and fetch new ones only for separate workflows
Example Use Cases
- Auto-toggle a resource state in Updown IO by discovering the appropriate tool and executing it with the correct arguments
- Sync Updown IO status to a monitoring dashboard by running a read/status tool and logging the results
- Batch update multiple Updown IO resources in a single session using discovered tool slugs
- Schedule a recurring workflow to check connectivity, discover tools, and perform a routine operation
- Bulk apply configuration updates across several Updown IO tools using bulk execution workflows
