The Odds API Automation

What This Skill Does

• This skill automates The Odds API operations using Composio's The Odds API toolkit via Rube MCP.
• It allows users to discover available tools, check connections, and execute specific tasks, streamlining workflows for retrieving and analyzing sports odds data.

When to Use

• Fetch real-time sports odds.
• Compare odds across bookmakers.
• Analyze historical odds data.
• Automate betting strategy analysis.
• Get notified of odds changes.
• Integrate odds data into applications.

Key Features

• Uses Rube MCP for The Odds API automation.
• Discovers tools via RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS.

Automate The Odds API operations through Composio's The Odds API toolkit via Rube MCP.

Prerequisites

Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available) Active The Odds API connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit the_odds_api Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Setup

• Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.
• 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 the_odds_api 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: "The Odds API 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 The Odds API task"}] session: {id: "existing_session_id"}

Step 2: Check Connection

RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS toolkits: ["the_odds_api"] 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
