Square Automation via Rube MCP
Automate Square payment processing, order management, and invoicing through Composio's Square toolkit via Rube MCP.
Prerequisites
- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
- Active Square connection via
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit square
- 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 square
- If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Square OAuth
- Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
Core Workflows
1. List and Monitor Payments
When to use: User wants to view payment history or check payment status
Tool sequence:
SQUARE_LIST_PAYMENTS - Retrieve payments with optional filters [Required]SQUARE_CANCEL_PAYMENT - Cancel a pending payment if needed [Optional]
Key parameters:
begin_time / end_time: RFC 3339 timestamps for date range filteringsort_order: 'ASC' or 'DESC' for chronological orderingcursor: Pagination cursor from previous responselocation_id: Filter payments by specific location
Pitfalls:
- Timestamps must be RFC 3339 format (e.g., '2024-01-01T00:00:00Z')

- Only pending payments can be cancelled; completed payments require refunds
SQUARE_CANCEL_PAYMENT requires exact payment_id from list results
2. Search and Manage Orders
When to use: User wants to find orders by criteria or update order details
