Salesforce Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Salesforce CRM operations through Composio's Salesforce toolkit via Rube MCP.

Prerequisites

• Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)

• 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 salesforce
3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Salesforce OAuth
4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Common Patterns

SOQL Syntax

Basic query:

SELECT Id, Name, Email FROM Contact WHERE LastName = 'Smith'

With relationships:

SELECT Id, Name, Account.Name FROM Contact WHERE Account.Industry = 'Technology'

Date filtering:

SELECT Id, Name FROM Lead WHERE CreatedDate = TODAY
SELECT Id, Name FROM Opportunity WHERE CloseDate = NEXT_MONTH

Pagination

• SOQL queries with large results return pagination tokens
• Use SALESFORCE_QUERY with nextRecordsUrl for pagination
• Check done field in response; if false, continue paging

Known Pitfalls

Field API Names:

• Always use API names, not display labels
• Custom fields end with __c suffix
• Use SALESFORCE_GET_ALL_CUSTOM_OBJECTS to discover custom objects

ID Formats:

• Salesforce IDs are 15 (case-sensitive) or 18 (case-insensitive) characters
• Both formats are accepted in most operations
