8# Wrike Automation via Rube MCP
9 
10Automate Wrike project management operations through Composio's Wrike toolkit via Rube MCP.
11 
12## Prerequisites
13 
14- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
15- Active Wrike connection via `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `wrike`
16- Always call `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` first to get current tool schemas
17 
18## Setup
19 
20**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.
21 
22 
231. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` responds
242. Call `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `wrike`
253. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Wrike OAuth
264. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
27 
28## Core Workflows
29 
30### 1. Create and Manage Tasks
31 
32**When to use**: User wants to create, assign, or update tasks in Wrike
33 
34**Tool sequence**:
351. `WRIKE_GET_FOLDERS` - Find the target folder/project [Prerequisite]
362. `WRIKE_GET_ALL_CUSTOM_FIELDS` - Get custom field IDs if needed [Optional]
373. `WRIKE_CREATE_TASK` - Create a new task [Required]
384. `WRIKE_MODIFY_TASK` - Update task properties [Optional]
39 
40**Key parameters**:
41- `folderId`: Parent folder ID where the task will be created
42- `title`: Task title
43- `description`: Task description (supports HTML)
44- `responsibles`: Array of user IDs to assign
45- `status`: 'Active', 'Completed', 'Deferred', 'Cancelled'
46- `importance`: 'High', 'Normal', 'Low'
47- `customFields`: Array of {id, value} objects
48- `dates`: Object with type, start, due, duration
49 
50**Pitfalls**:
51- folderId is required; tasks must belong to a folder
52- responsibles requires Wrike user IDs, not emails or names
53- Custom field IDs must be obtained from GET_ALL_CUSTOM_FIELDS
54- priorityBefore and priorityAfter are mutually exclusive
55- Status field may not be available on Team plan
56- dates.start and dates.due use 'YYYY-MM-DD' format
57 
58### 2. Manage Folders and Projects
59 
60**When to use**: User wants to create, modify, or organize folders and projects
61 
62**Tool sequence**:
631. `WRIKE_GET_FOLDERS` - List existing folders [Required]
642. `WRIKE_CREATE_FOLDER` - Create a new folder/project [Optional]
653. `WRIKE_MODIFY_FOLDER` - Update folder properties [Optional]
664. `WRIKE_LIST_SUBFOLDERS_BY_FOLDER_ID` - List subfolders [Optional]
675. `WRIKE_DELETE_FOLDER` - Delete a folder permanently [Optional]
68 
69**Key parameters**:
70- `folderId`: Parent folder ID for creation; target folder ID for modification
71- `title`: Folder name
72- `description`: Folder description
73- `customItemTypeId`: Set to create as a project instead of a folder
74- `shareds`: Array of user IDs or emails to share with
75- `project`: Filter for projects (true) or folders (false) in GET_FOLDERS
76 
77**Pitfalls**:
78- DELETE_FOLDER is permanent and removes ALL contents (tasks, subfolders, documents)
79- Cannot modify rootFolderId or recycleBinId as parents
80- Folder creation auto-shares with the creator
81- customItemTypeId converts a folder into a project
82- GET_FOLDERS with descendants=true returns folder tree (may be large)
83 
84### 3. Retrieve and Track Tasks
85 
86**When to use**: User wants to find tasks, check status, or monitor progress
87 
88**Tool sequence**:
891. `WRIKE_FETCH_ALL_TASKS` - List tasks with optional filters [Required]
902. `WRIKE_GET_TASK_BY_ID` - Get detailed info for a specific task [Optional]
91 
92**Key parameters**:
93- `status`: Filter by task status ('Active', 'Completed', etc.)
94- `dueDate`: Filter by due date range (start/end/equal)
95- `fields`: Additional response fields to include
96- `page_size`: Results per page (1-100)
97- `taskId`: Specific task ID for detailed retrieval
98- `resolve_user_names`: Auto-resolve user IDs to names (default true)
99 
100**Pitfalls**:
101- FETCH_ALL_TASKS paginates at max 100 items per page
102- dueDate filter supports 'equal', 'start', and 'end' fields
103- Date format: 'yyyy-MM-dd' or 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss'
104- GET_TASK_BY_ID returns read-only detailed information
105- customFields are returned by default for single task queries
106 
107### 4. Launch Task Blueprints
108 
109**When to use**: User wants to create tasks from predefined templates
110 
111**Tool sequence**:
1121. `WRIKE_LIST_TASK_BLUEPRINTS` - List available blueprints [Prerequisite]
1132. `WRIKE_LIST_SPACE_TASK_BLUEPRINTS` - List blueprints in a specific space [Alternative]
1143. `WRIKE_LAUNCH_TASK_BLUEPRINT_ASYNC` - Launch a blueprint [Required]
115 
116**Key parameters**:
117- `task_blueprint_id`: ID of the blueprint to launch
118- `title`: Title for the root task
119- `parent_id`: Parent folder/project ID (OR super_task_id)
120- `super_task_id`: Parent task ID (OR parent_id)
121- `reschedule_date`: Target date for task rescheduling
122- `reschedule_mode`: 'RescheduleStartDate' or 'RescheduleFinishDate'
123- `entry_limit`: Max tasks to copy (1-250)
124 
125**Pitfalls**:
126- Either parent_id or super_task_id is required, not both
127- Blueprint launch is asynchronous; tasks may take time to appear
128- reschedule_date requires reschedule_mode to be set
129- entry_limit caps at 250 tasks/folders per blueprint launch
130- copy_descriptions defaults to false; set true to include task descriptions
131 
132### 5. Manage Workspace and Members
133 
134**When to use**: User wants to manage spaces, members, or invitations
135 
136**Tool sequence**:
1371. `WRIKE_GET_SPACE` - Get space details [Optional]
1382. `WRIKE_GET_CONTACTS` - List workspace contacts/members [Optional]
1393. `WRIKE_CREATE_INVITATION` - Invite a user to the workspace [Optional]
1404. `WRIKE_DELETE_SPACE` - Delete a space permanently [Optional]
141 
142**Key parameters**:
143- `spaceId`: Space identifier
144- `email`: Email for invitation
145- `role`: User role ('Admin', 'Regular User', 'External User')
146- `firstName`/`lastName`: Invitee name
147 
148**Pitfalls**:
149- DELETE_SPACE is irreversible and removes all space contents
150- userTypeId and role/external are mutually exclusive in invitations
151- Custom email subjects/messages require a paid Wrike plan
152- GET_CONTACTS returns workspace-level contacts, not task-specific assignments
153 
154## Common Patterns
155 
156### Folder ID Resolution
157 
158```
1591. Call WRIKE_GET_FOLDERS (optionally with project=true for projects only)
1602. Navigate folder tree to find target
1613. Extract folder id (e.g., 'IEAGKVLFK4IHGQOI')
1624. Use as folderId in task/folder creation
163```
164 
165### Custom Field Setup
166 
167```
1681. Call WRIKE_GET_ALL_CUSTOM_FIELDS to get definitions
1692. Find field by name, extract id and type
1703. Format value according to type (text, dropdown, number, date)
1714. Include as {id: 'FIELD_ID', value: 'VALUE'} in customFields array
172```
173 
174### Task Assignment
175 
176```
1771. Call WRIKE_GET_CONTACTS to find user IDs
1782. Use user IDs in responsibles array when creating tasks
1793. Or use addResponsibles/removeResponsibles when modifying tasks
180```
181 
182### Pagination
183 
184- FETCH_ALL_TASKS: Use page_size (max 100) and check for more results
185- GET_FOLDERS: Use nextPageToken when descendants=false and pageSize is set
186- LIST_TASK_BLUEPRINTS: Use next_page_token and page_size (default 100)
187 
188## Known Pitfalls
189 
190**ID Formats**:
191- Wrike IDs are opaque alphanumeric strings (e.g., 'IEAGTXR7I4IHGABC')
192- Task IDs, folder IDs, space IDs, and user IDs all use this format
193- Custom field IDs follow the same pattern
194- Never guess IDs; always resolve from list/search operations
195 
196**Permissions**:
197- Operations depend on user role and sharing settings
198- Shared folders/tasks are visible only to shared users
199- Admin operations require appropriate role
200- Some features (custom statuses, billing types) are plan-dependent
201 
202**Deletion Safety**:
203- DELETE_FOLDER removes ALL contents permanently
204- DELETE_SPACE removes the entire space and contents
205- Consider using MODIFY_FOLDER to move to recycle bin instead
206- Restore from recycle bin is possible via MODIFY_FOLDER with restore=true
207 
208**Date Handling**:
209- Dates use 'yyyy-MM-dd' format
210- DateTime uses 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ' or with timezone offset
211- Task dates include type ('Planned', 'Actual'), start, due, duration
212- Duration is in minutes
