Google Tasks Automation via Rube MCP

Create, manage, organize, and bulk-operate on Google Tasks and task lists using Rube MCP (Composio).

Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks

Prerequisites

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

Core Workflows

1. List All Task Lists

Use

GOOGLETASKS_LIST_TASK_LISTS

to fetch all available task lists for the authenticated user.

Tool: GOOGLETASKS_LIST_TASK_LISTS
Parameters:
  - maxResults: Maximum task lists to return
  - pageToken: Pagination token for next page

2. Create a New Task

Use

GOOGLETASKS_INSERT_TASK

to add a new task to a specific task list.

Tool: GOOGLETASKS_INSERT_TASK
Parameters:
  - tasklist_id (required): ID of the target task list
  - title (required): Task title
  - notes: Task description/notes
  - due: Due date in RFC3339 format (e.g., "2025-01-20T00:00:00.000Z")
  - status: "needsAction" or "completed"
  - task_parent: Parent task ID (to create subtask)
  - task_previous: Previous task ID (for ordering)

3. List All Tasks Across Lists

Use

GOOGLETASKS_LIST_ALL_TASKS

to fetch tasks across all task lists with optional filters.

Tool: GOOGLETASKS_LIST_ALL_TASKS
Parameters:
  - max_tasks_total: Maximum total tasks to return
  - showCompleted: Include completed tasks
  - showDeleted: Include deleted tasks
  - showHidden: Include hidden tasks
  - dueMin / dueMax: Filter by due date range
  - completedMin / completedMax: Filter by completion date
  - updatedMin: Filter by last update time
  - showAssigned: Include assigned tasks

4. Update an Existing Task

Use

GOOGLETASKS_UPDATE_TASK

to modify a task's title, notes, due date, or status.

Tool: GOOGLETASKS_UPDATE_TASK
Parameters:
  - tasklist_id (required): Task list ID
  - task_id (required): Task ID to update
  - title: New title
  - notes: Updated notes
  - due: New due date (RFC3339)
  - status: "needsAction" or "completed"

5. Bulk Insert Tasks

Use

GOOGLETASKS_BULK_INSERT_TASKS

to create multiple tasks at once in a single operation.

Tool: GOOGLETASKS_BULK_INSERT_TASKS
Parameters:
  - tasklist_id (required): Target task list ID
  - tasks (required): Array of task objects (each with title, notes, due, status)
  - batch_size: Number of tasks per batch request

6. Delete or Clear Tasks

Use

GOOGLETASKS_DELETE_TASK

to remove a specific task, or

GOOGLETASKS_CLEAR_TASKS

to permanently remove all completed tasks from a list.

Tool: GOOGLETASKS_DELETE_TASK
Parameters:
  - tasklist_id (required): Task list ID
  - task_id (required): Task ID to delete

Tool: GOOGLETASKS_CLEAR_TASKS
Parameters:
  - tasklist (required): Task list ID to clear completed tasks from

Common Patterns

Get task list ID first: Always start with
```
GOOGLETASKS_LIST_TASK_LISTS
```
to discover available task lists and their IDs before creating or listing tasks.

List then update: Use

GOOGLETASKS_LIST_ALL_TASKS

GOOGLETASKS_LIST_TASKS

to find task IDs, then use

GOOGLETASKS_UPDATE_TASK

to modify them.

Mark complete: Update a task with

status: "completed"

using

GOOGLETASKS_UPDATE_TASK

Create subtasks: Use
```
GOOGLETASKS_INSERT_TASK
```
with the
```
task_parent
```
parameter set to the parent task's ID.
Reorder tasks: Use
```
GOOGLETASKS_MOVE_TASK
```
to change a task's position within its list or reparent it.
Batch creation: Use
```
GOOGLETASKS_BULK_INSERT_TASKS
```
for creating many tasks at once (e.g., importing from another system).

Known Pitfalls

Both
```
tasklist_id
```
and
```
task_id
```
are required for
```
GOOGLETASKS_UPDATE_TASK
```
,
```
GOOGLETASKS_DELETE_TASK
```
, and
```
GOOGLETASKS_GET_TASK
```
. You cannot operate on a task without knowing which list it belongs to.
All date/time strings must be in RFC3339 format (e.g.,
```
2025-01-20T00:00:00.000Z
```
). Other formats will be rejected.
```
GOOGLETASKS_CLEAR_TASKS
```
permanently deletes all completed tasks from a list. This action is irreversible.
```
GOOGLETASKS_LIST_ALL_TASKS
```
fetches across all lists but results may be paginated -- check for pagination tokens.
Task list IDs are not the same as task list names. Always resolve names to IDs using
```
GOOGLETASKS_LIST_TASK_LISTS
```
.
The default task list is typically named "My Tasks" but its ID is an opaque string, not "default" or "primary".
