shorten-rest-automation

Lets your agent automate tasks in Shorten Rest. It can simplify managing APIs and requests.

What it does

This tool helps automate 'Shorten Rest' tasks using a system called Rube MCP. It finds the right tools and runs them for you.

When to use it

  • ✓When you need to manage 'Shorten Rest' connections.
  • ✓When you want to discover available 'Shorten Rest' operations.
  • ✓To automatically execute specific 'Shorten Rest' tasks.

How it works

First, the system checks for available tools and searches for 'Shorten Rest' information. Then, it connects to the necessary service and executes the requested task using the found tools.

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 shorten-rest-automation

Or download just the file:

Shorten Rest Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Shorten Rest operations through Composio's Shorten Rest toolkit via Rube MCP.

Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/shorten_rest

Prerequisites

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

Step 2: Check Connection

RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
toolkits: ["shorten_rest"]
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 Shorten Rest-specific use case
Connect RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit shorten_rest
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 tools to automate tasks.

Do I need API keys?

No, you just need to add the Rube MCP endpoint to your client configuration.

What does 'schema' mean?

A schema is like a map that describes how a tool works and what information it needs to be used.
