sourcegraph-automation

Helps your agent automate tasks on Sourcegraph. It can search and manage code more efficiently.

What it does

This tool helps automate tasks within Sourcegraph, a code search platform. It uses a system called Rube MCP to connect and run commands.

When to use it

  • ✓When you need to quickly find specific information within your codebase.
  • ✓To automate the execution of multiple searches or analyses on Sourcegraph.
  • ✓When integrating Sourcegraph with other development tools.

Example of what to ask your AI

“Search for all functions using 'user_id' in the 'my-project' repository.”

Ready-to-paste message

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

First, the tool asks Rube MCP which Sourcegraph commands are available. Then, it connects to your Sourcegraph account and executes the command you requested, ensuring everything is up-to-date.

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 sourcegraph-automation

Or download just the file:

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

Sourcegraph Automation via Rube MCP

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

Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/sourcegraph

Prerequisites

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

Step 2: Check Connection

RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
toolkits: ["sourcegraph"]
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 Sourcegraph-specific use case
Connect RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit sourcegraph
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 Sourcegraph, without needing complicated passwords or keys.

Do I need to set anything up beforehand?

Yes, you need to ensure Rube MCP is installed and your Sourcegraph account is connected through Rube MCP.

Why do I always need to search for tools first?

Because the commands and their settings can change. Searching first ensures the AI uses the latest information and avoids errors.
