sidetracker-automation

Lets your agent automate Sidetracker to manage tasks and projects. It helps keep track of progress and activities.

What it does

This tool automates Sidetracker tasks using Rube MCP. It helps connect to and execute actions within Sidetracker programmatically.

When to use it

  • ✓When you need to perform multiple Sidetracker tasks automatically.
  • ✓When integrating Sidetracker with other tools or systems.
  • ✓To manage connections and check Sidetracker status.

Example of what to ask your AI

“Connect Sidetracker and list all pending tasks.”

How it works

First, it checks if Rube MCP is connected and if Sidetracker is set up. Then, it searches for available tools for the desired task and executes them.

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 sidetracker-automation

Sidetracker Automation via Rube MCP

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

Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/sidetracker

Prerequisites

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

Step 2: Check Connection

RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
toolkits: ["sidetracker"]
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 Sidetracker-specific use case
Connect RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit sidetracker
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 allows AI to connect to and control other tools, like Sidetracker.

Do I need API keys?
