vestaboard-automation

Has your agent automate tasks on Vestaboard. It uses Rube MCP to send messages and manage the board. Ideal for those using Vestaboard for communication and wanting to streamline the process.

What it does

This tool lets you control your Vestaboard (a digital message display) using text commands. You can send messages, check its status, and manage connections.

When to use it

  • ✓Sending a message to the Vestaboard.
  • ✓Checking if the Vestaboard is connected.
  • ✓Automating announcements on the Vestaboard.

Example of what to ask your AI

“Send a message to my Vestaboard saying 'Good morning everyone!'”

How it works

The tool connects to your Vestaboard using a system called Rube MCP. It first checks which commands are available and if the Vestaboard is connected, then it executes your requested command.

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 vestaboard-automation

Or download just the file:

Vestaboard Automation via Rube MCP

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

Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/vestaboard

Prerequisites

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

Step 2: Check Connection

RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
toolkits: ["vestaboard"]
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 Vestaboard-specific use case
Connect RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit vestaboard
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
