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.

Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds

Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit wrike

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

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:

WRIKE_GET_FOLDERS - Find the target folder/project [Prerequisite]

WRIKE_GET_ALL_CUSTOM_FIELDS - Get custom field IDs if needed [Optional]

WRIKE_CREATE_TASK - Create a new task [Required]

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:

WRIKE_GET_FOLDERS - List existing folders [Required]

WRIKE_CREATE_FOLDER - Create a new folder/project [Optional]

WRIKE_MODIFY_FOLDER - Update folder properties [Optional]

WRIKE_LIST_SUBFOLDERS_BY_FOLDER_ID - List subfolders [Optional]

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:

WRIKE_FETCH_ALL_TASKS - List tasks with optional filters [Required]

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 default for single task queries

4. Launch Task Blueprints

When to use: User wants to create tasks from predefined templates

Tool sequence:

WRIKE_LIST_TASK_BLUEPRINTS - List available blueprints [Prerequisite]

WRIKE_LIST_SPACE_TASK_BLUEPRINTS - List blueprints in a specific space [Alternative]

WRIKE_LAUNCH_TASK_BLUEPRINT_ASYNC - Launch a blueprint [Required]

Key parameters:

task_blueprint_id: ID of the blueprint to launch

title: Title for the root task

parent_id: Parent folder/project ID (OR super_task_id)

super_task_id: Parent task ID (OR parent_id)

reschedule_date: Target date for task rescheduling

reschedule_mode: 'RescheduleStartDate' or 'RescheduleFinishDate'

entry_limit: Max tasks to copy (1-250)

Pitfalls:

Either parent_id or super_task_id is required, not both

Blueprint launch is asynchronous; tasks may take time to appear

reschedule_date requires reschedule_mode to be set

entry_limit caps at 250 tasks/folders per blueprint launch

copy_descriptions defaults to false; set true to include task descriptions

5. Manage Workspace and Members

When to use: User wants to manage spaces, members, or invitations

Tool sequence:

WRIKE_GET_SPACE - Get space details [Optional]

WRIKE_GET_CONTACTS - List workspace contacts/members [Optional]

WRIKE_CREATE_INVITATION - Invite a user to the workspace [Optional]

WRIKE_DELETE_SPACE - Delete a space permanently [Optional]

Key parameters:

spaceId: Space identifier

email: Email for invitation

role: User role ('Admin', 'Regular User', 'External User')

firstName/lastName: Invitee name

Pitfalls:

DELETE_SPACE is irreversible and removes all space contents

userTypeId and role/external are mutually exclusive in invitations

Custom email subjects/messages require a paid Wrike plan

GET_CONTACTS returns workspace-level contacts, not task-specific assignments

Common Patterns

Folder ID Resolution

1. Call WRIKE_GET_FOLDERS (optionally with project=true for projects only)
Navigate folder tree to find target

Extract folder id (e.g., 'IEAGKVLFK4IHGQOI')

Use as folderId in task/folder creation

Custom Field Setup

1. Call WRIKE_GET_ALL_CUSTOM_FIELDS to get definitions
Find field by name, extract id and type

Format value according to type (text, dropdown, number, date)

Include as {id: 'FIELD_ID', value: 'VALUE'} in customFields array

Task Assignment

1. Call WRIKE_GET_CONTACTS to find user IDs
Use user IDs in responsibles array when creating tasks

Or use addResponsibles/removeResponsibles when modifying tasks

Pagination

FETCH_ALL_TASKS: Use page_size (max 100) and check for more results

GET_FOLDERS: Use nextPageToken when descendants=false and pageSize is set

LIST_TASK_BLUEPRINTS: Use next_page_token and page_size (default 100)

Known Pitfalls

ID Formats:

Wrike IDs are opaque alphanumeric strings (e.g., 'IEAGTXR7I4IHGABC')

Task IDs, folder IDs, space IDs, and user IDs all use this format

Custom field IDs follow the same pattern

Never guess IDs; always resolve from list/search operations

Permissions:

Operations depend on user role and sharing settings

Shared folders/tasks are visible only to shared users

Admin operations require appropriate role

Some features (custom statuses, billing types) are plan-dependent

Deletion Safety:

DELETE_FOLDER removes ALL contents permanently

DELETE_SPACE removes the entire space and contents

Consider using MODIFY_FOLDER to move to recycle bin instead

Restore from recycle bin is possible via MODIFY_FOLDER with restore=true

Date Handling:

Dates use 'yyyy-MM-dd' format

DateTime uses 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ' or with timezone offset

Task dates include type ('Planned', 'Actual'), start, due, duration

Duration is in minutes
