# Bonsai Automation via Rube MCP
Automate Bonsai operations through Composio's Bonsai toolkit via Rube MCP.
**Toolkit docs**: [composio.dev/toolkits/bonsai](https://composio.dev/toolkits/bonsai)
## Prerequisites
- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
- Active Bonsai connection via `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `bonsai`
- 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 `bonsai`
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: "Bonsai 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 Bonsai task"}]
session: {id: "existing_session_id"}
```
### Step 2: Check Connection
```
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
toolkits: ["bonsai"]
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 Bonsai-specific use case |
| Connect | `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `bonsai` |
| 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` |

*Powered by [Composio](https://composio.dev)*
This skill automates Bonsai tasks through Composio's Bonsai toolkit using the Rube MCP. It provides a reproducible pattern: discover tools, confirm Bonsai connection, and execute composio tools via RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL. The skill emphasizes dynamic tool discovery and strict schema compliance to avoid runtime errors.
The skill always starts by calling RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS to fetch current tool slugs, input schemas, recommended execution plans, and pagination tokens. Next it verifies or establishes an active Bonsai connection using RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS. Finally it runs one or more tools with RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL (including memory and a session ID) or uses RUBE_REMOTE_WORKBENCH for bulk operations.
Why must I call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS every time?
Tool schemas and available tool slugs can change; a fresh RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS call ensures you use the current schema and avoid invalid arguments.
What if RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS shows the toolkit as not ACTIVE?
Follow the provided auth link in the manage connections response to complete authorization, then re-check until the connection status is ACTIVE before executing tools.
