--- title: Rube Extension description: Add Rube as a goose Extension to connect with 500+ apps --- import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs'; import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem'; import CLIExtensionInstructions from '@site/src/components/CLIExtensionInstructions'; import GooseDesktopInstaller from '@site/src/components/GooseDesktopInstaller'; import { PanelLeft } from 'lucide-react'; This tutorial covers how to add [Rube](https://rube.app) as a goose extension to enable seamless integration with 500+ apps including Slack, Gmail, Notion, Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, GitHub, and many more. :::tip Quick Install [Launch the installer](goose://extension?type=streamable_http&url=https%3A%2F%2Frube.app%2Fmcp&id=rube&name=Rube&description=Seamlessly%20connect%20across%20500%2B%20applications%20including%20Slack%2C%20Gmail%2C%20Notion%2C%20Google%20Workspace%2C%20Microsoft%20Office%2C%20GitHub%2C%20and%20many%20more) Use `goose configure` to add a `Remote Extension (Streaming HTTP)` extension type with: **Endpoint URL** ``` https://rube.app/mcp ``` :::info OAUTH FLOW An OAuth window will open in your browser. Follow the prompts to authorize access to your Rube account. ::: ## What is Rube? Rube is a platform powered by Composio that provides unified access to 500+ apps and services through a single integration. It enables seamless connectivity across different applications without additional setup, making it perfect for both individual users and teams. ## Configuration ## Authentication Rube uses OAuth browser authentication, which means: - No manual API keys to manage - Secure authentication handled automatically - When you first use a Rube tool, your browser will open to authenticate with the relevant service - Authentication tokens are securely stored and managed by Rube ## Example Usage Once Rube is configured, you can interact with 500+ apps directly through goose. Here are some examples: **Email Management** ``` Send an email to john@example.com with subject "Meeting Update" and body "The meeting has been moved to 3 PM" ``` **Slack Communication** ``` Post a message to the #general channel saying "Deploy completed successfully" ``` **GitHub Integration** ``` Create a new issue in my repository with title "Bug Report" and description "Found an issue with the login flow" ``` **Google Sheets** ``` Add a new row to my "Sales Data" spreadsheet with values: Date: today, Amount: 1500, Client: Acme Corp ``` **Calendar Management** ``` Schedule a meeting for tomorrow at 2 PM with title "Project Review" and invite sarah@company.com ``` The first time you use tools for a specific service, you'll be prompted to authenticate through OAuth in your browser. After that, all subsequent interactions with that service will work seamlessly. ## Troubleshooting - **Extension not connecting**: Ensure you have a stable internet connection and that `https://rube.app` is accessible from your network. - **Authentication issues**: If OAuth flows aren't working, try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser. - **Tool timeouts**: Some operations with large datasets may take longer. You can increase the timeout value in the extension settings if needed. - **Rate limits**: Rube respects the rate limits of individual services. If you hit limits, wait a few minutes before retrying. ## Getting Help - Visit [rube.app](https://rube.app) for documentation and support for integration-specific questions - Check the Rube status page for any service interruptions
