Npm Automation

What This Skill Does

• The NPM Automation skill enables users to automate NPM operations through Composio's NPM toolkit via Rube MCP.
• It is designed for developers who want to streamline their package management workflows.
• This skill simplifies tasks like publishing, installing, and managing NPM packages.

When to Use

• Automate NPM package publishing.
• Programmatically install NPM packages.
• Manage package dependencies automatically.
• Integrate NPM into CI/CD pipelines.
• Update package versions automatically.
• Automate package testing and deployment.

Key Features

• Automates NPM operations via Rube MCP.
• Uses Composio's NPM toolkit.
• Requires an active NPM connection.
• Discovers available tools using RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS.
• Checks connection status with RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS.
• Executes tools using RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL.

Manual Installation

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

Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/npm

Prerequisites

Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available) Active NPM connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit npm 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 npm 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: "NPM 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 NPM task"}] session: {id: "existing_session_id"}

Step 2: Check Connection

RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS toolkits: ["npm"] 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
