What is Rube?

Rube is a platform powered by Composio that provides unified access to 500+ apps and services through a single integration. It enables seamless connectivity across different applications without additional setup, making it perfect for both individual users and teams.

Configuration

<Tabs groupId="interface"> <TabItem value="ui" label="goose Desktop" default> <GooseDesktopInstaller extensionId="rube" extensionName="Rube" description="Seamlessly connect across 500+ applications including Slack, Gmail, Notion, Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, GitHub, and many more" type="http" url="https://rube.app/mcp" /> </TabItem> <TabItem value="cli" label="goose CLI"> <CLIExtensionInstructions name="rube" description="Seamlessly connect across 500+ applications including Slack, Gmail, Notion, Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, GitHub, and many more" type="http" url="https://rube.app/mcp" timeout={300} infoNote="OAuth authentication will happen automatically in your browser when you first use Rube tools" /> </TabItem> </Tabs>

Authentication

Rube uses OAuth browser authentication, which means:

  • No manual API keys to manage
  • Secure authentication handled automatically
  • When you first use a Rube tool, your browser will open to authenticate with the relevant service
  • Authentication tokens are securely stored and managed by Rube

Example Usage

Once Rube is configured, you can interact with 500+ apps directly through goose. Here are some examples:

Email Management

Send an email to [email protected] with subject "Meeting Update" and body "The meeting has been moved to 3 PM"

Slack Communication

Post a message to the #general channel saying "Deploy completed successfully"

GitHub Integration

Create a new issue in my repository with title "Bug Report" and description "Found an issue with the login flow"

Google Sheets

Add a new row to my "Sales Data" spreadsheet with values: Date: today, Amount: 1500, Client: Acme Corp

Calendar Management

Schedule a meeting for tomorrow at 2 PM with title "Project Review" and invite [email protected]

The first time you use tools for a specific service, you'll be prompted to authenticate through OAuth in your browser. After that, all subsequent interactions with that service will work seamlessly.

Troubleshooting

  • Extension not connecting: Ensure you have a stable internet connection and that https://rube.app is accessible from your network.
  • Authentication issues: If OAuth flows aren't working, try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser.
  • Tool timeouts: Some operations with large datasets may take longer. You can increase the timeout value in the extension settings if needed.
  • Rate limits: Rube respects the rate limits of individual services. If you hit limits, wait a few minutes before retrying.
