Make Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Make (formerly Integromat) operations through Composio's Make toolkit via Rube MCP.

Prerequisites

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.

Core Workflows

1. Get Operations Data

When to use: User wants to retrieve operation logs or usage data from Make scenarios

2. List Available Languages

When to use: User wants to see supported languages for Make scenarios or interfaces

3. List Available Timezones

When to use: User wants to see supported timezones for scheduling Make scenarios

4. Scenario Configuration Lookup

When to use: User needs to configure scenarios with correct language and timezone values

Common Patterns

Enum Validation

Before configuring any Make scenario properties that accept language or timezone:

1. Call MAKE_LIST_ENUMS_LANGUAGES or MAKE_LIST_ENUMS_TIMEZONES
2. Verify the desired value exists in the returned list
3. Use the exact string value from the enum list

Operations Monitoring

1. Call MAKE_GET_OPERATIONS with date range filters
2. Analyze operation counts, statuses, and error rates
3. Identify failed operations for troubleshooting

Caching Strategy for Enums

Since language and timezone lists are static:

1. Call MAKE_LIST_ENUMS_LANGUAGES once at workflow start
2. Store results in memory or local cache
3. Validate user inputs against cached values
4. Refresh cache only when starting a new session

Operations Analysis Workflow

For scenario health monitoring:

1. Call MAKE_GET_OPERATIONS with recent date range
2. Group operations by scenario ID
3. Calculate success/failure ratios per scenario
4. Identify scenarios with high error rates
5. Report findings to user or notification channel

Integration with Other Toolkits

Make workflows often connect to other apps. Compose multi-tool workflows:

1. Call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS to find tools for the target app
2. Connect required toolkits via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
3. Use Make operations data to understand workflow execution patterns
4. Execute equivalent workflows directly via individual app toolkits

Known Pitfalls

Limited Toolkit:

Operations Data:

Response Parsing:

Rate Limits:

Quick Reference

| Task | Tool Slug | Key Params |

|------|-----------|------------|

| Get operations | MAKE_GET_OPERATIONS | (check schema for filters) |

| List languages | MAKE_LIST_ENUMS_LANGUAGES | (none) |

| List timezones | MAKE_LIST_ENUMS_TIMEZONES | (none) |

Additional Notes

Alternative Approaches

Since the Make toolkit has limited tools, consider these alternatives for common Make use cases:

| Make Use Case | Alternative Approach |

|--------------|---------------------|

| Trigger a scenario | Use Make's native webhook or API endpoint directly |

| Create a scenario | Use Make's scenario management API directly |

| Schedule execution | Use RUBE_MANAGE_RECIPE_SCHEDULE with composed workflows |

| Multi-app workflow | Compose individual toolkit tools via RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL |

| Data transformation | Use RUBE_REMOTE_WORKBENCH for complex processing |

Composing Equivalent Workflows

Instead of relying solely on Make's toolkit, build equivalent automation directly:
