Instacart Automation

What This Skill Does

The Instacart Automation skill enables users to automate Instacart operations through Composio's Instacart toolkit via Rube MCP. It is designed for developers and business users who need to programmatically interact with the Instacart platform. This skill simplifies tasks by providing tools to discover, connect, and execute Instacart-related tasks.

When to Use

• Automate product listing updates.
• Manage inventory levels programmatically.
• Retrieve order information in real-time.
• Automate promotional campaigns.
• Monitor sales performance.
• Manage Instacart connections programmatically.

Key Features

• Automates Instacart operations via Rube MCP.
• Uses RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS for tool discovery.
• Manages Instacart connections with RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS.
• Executes tools with RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL.
• Provides toolkit documentation for reference.
• Requires active Instacart connection.

Manual Installation

Instacart Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Instacart operations through Composio's Instacart toolkit via Rube MCP.

Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/instacart

Prerequisites

Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available) Active Instacart connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit instacart 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 instacart If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete setup Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Tool Discovery

Always discover available tools before executing workflows:

RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS queries: [{use_case: "Instacart 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 Instacart task"}] session: {id: "existing_session_id"}

Step 2: Check Connection

RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS toolkits: ["instacart"] 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
