Wrike Automation

# Wrike Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Wrike project management operations through Composio's Wrike toolkit via Rube MCP.

Prerequisites

- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)

- Active Wrike connection via `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `wrike`

- 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 `wrike`

3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Wrike OAuth

4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Core Workflows

1. Create and Manage Tasks

**When to use**: User wants to create, assign, or update tasks in Wrike

**Tool sequence**:

1. `WRIKE_GET_FOLDERS` - Find the target folder/project [Prerequisite]

2. `WRIKE_GET_ALL_CUSTOM_FIELDS` - Get custom field IDs if needed [Optional]

3. `WRIKE_CREATE_TASK` - Create a new task [Required]

4. `WRIKE_MODIFY_TASK` - Update task properties [Optional]

**Key parameters**:

- `folderId`: Parent folder ID where the task will be created

- `title`: Task title

- `description`: Task description (supports HTML)

- `responsibles`: Array of user IDs to assign

- `status`: 'Active', 'Completed', 'Deferred', 'Cancelled'

- `importance`: 'High', 'Normal', 'Low'

- `customFields`: Array of {id, value} objects

- `dates`: Object with type, start, due, duration

**Pitfalls**:

- folderId is required; tasks must belong to a folder

- responsibles requires Wrike user IDs, not emails or names

- Custom field IDs must be obtained from GET_ALL_CUSTOM_FIELDS

- priorityBefore and priorityAfter are mutually exclusive

- Status field may not be available on Team plan

- dates.start and dates.due use 'YYYY-MM-DD' format

2. Manage Folders and Projects

**When to use**: User wants to create, modify, or organize folders and projects

**Tool sequence**:

1. `WRIKE_GET_FOLDERS` - List existing folders [Required]

2. `WRIKE_CREATE_FOLDER` - Create a new folder/project [Optional]

3. `WRIKE_MODIFY_FOLDER` - Update folder properties [Optional]

4. `WRIKE_LIST_SUBFOLDERS_BY_FOLDER_ID` - List subfolders [Optional]

5. `WRIKE_DELETE_FOLDER` - Delete a folder permanently [Optional]

**Key parameters**:

- `folderId`: Parent folder ID for creation; target folder ID for modification

- `title`: Folder name

- `description`: Folder description

- `customItemTypeId`: Set to create as a project instead of a folder

- `shareds`: Array of user IDs or emails to share with

- `project`: Filter for projects (true) or folders (false) in GET_FOLDERS

**Pitfalls**:

- DELETE_FOLDER is permanent and removes ALL contents (tasks, subfolders, documents)

- Cannot modify rootFolderId or recycleBinId as parents

- Folder creation auto-shares with the creator

- customItemTypeId converts a folder into a project

- GET_FOLDERS with descendants=true returns folder tree (may be large)

3. Retrieve and Track Tasks

**When to use**: User wants to find tasks, check status, or monitor progress

**Tool sequence**:

1. `WRIKE_FETCH_ALL_TASKS` - List tasks with optional filters [Required]

2. `WRIKE_GET_TASK_BY_ID` - Get detailed info for a specific task [Optional]

**Key parameters**:

- `status`: Filter by task status ('Active', 'Completed', etc.)

- `dueDate`: Filter by due date range (start/end/equal)

- `fields`: Additional response fields to include

- `page_size`: Results per page (1-100)

- `taskId`: Specific task ID for detailed retrieval

- `resolve_user_names`: Auto-resolve user IDs to names (default true)

**Pitfalls**:

- FETCH_ALL_TASKS paginates at max 100 items per page

- dueDate filter supports 'equal', 'start', and 'end' fields

- Date format: 'yyyy-MM-dd' or 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss'

- GET_TASK_BY_ID returns read-only detailed information

- customFields are returned by defa
