short-io-automation

Lets your agent automate link shortening with Short IO. It helps manage URLs more practically and organized.

What it does

This tool lets you automate Short IO tasks, which is a service for shortening links. It uses a system called Rube MCP to find and perform the necessary actions.

When to use it

  • ✓When you need to shorten multiple links at once.
  • ✓To check if your Short IO account is connected correctly.
  • ✓To run specific Short IO commands you know.

Example of what to ask your AI

“I want to shorten this list of URLs: [list of URLs]”

Ready-to-paste message

Use this skill to help me: https://github.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills/blob/master/composio-skills/short-io-automation/SKILL.md Read the SKILL.md file at that link and follow its instructions for my task.
How it works

First, the tool checks which Short IO commands are available. Then, it connects to your Short IO account and runs the command you requested, making sure everything is set up correctly.

Installation

Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.

In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

npx skills add ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills --skill short-io-automation

Or download just the file:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills/master/composio-skills/short-io-automation/SKILL.md -o SKILL.md

Short IO Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Short IO operations through Composio's Short IO toolkit via Rube MCP.

Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/short_io

Prerequisites

  • Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
  • Active Short IO connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit short_io
  • 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 short_io
  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: "Short 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 Short IO task"}]
session: {id: "existing_session_id"}

Step 2: Check Connection

RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
toolkits: ["short_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_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 Short IO-specific use case
Connect RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit short_io
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

FAQ

What is Rube MCP?

It's a system that helps the AI find and use other tools, like Short IO, without you needing to know the technical details.

Do I need a Short IO account?

Yes, you need an active Short IO account and connect it to the Rube MCP system to use this tool.

What are 'tool schemas'?

They are like the 'instruction manuals' for each available command. The tool always checks the latest manuals before running anything to ensure it works correctly.
