Intercom Automation via Rube MCP
Automate Intercom operations through Composio's Intercom toolkit via Rube MCP.
Prerequisites
- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
- Active Intercom connection via
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit intercom
- 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 intercom
- If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Intercom OAuth
- Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
Core Workflows
1. Manage Conversations
When to use: User wants to create, list, search, or manage support conversations
Tool sequence:
INTERCOM_LIST_ALL_ADMINS - Get admin IDs for assignment [Prerequisite]
INTERCOM_LIST_CONVERSATIONS - List all conversations [Optional]
INTERCOM_SEARCH_CONVERSATIONS - Search with filters [Optional]
INTERCOM_GET_CONVERSATION - Get conversation details [Optional]
INTERCOM_CREATE_CONVERSATION - Create a new conversation [Optional]
Key parameters:
from: Object with type ('user'/'lead') and id for conversation creator
body: Message body (HTML supported)
id: Conversation ID for retrieval
query: Search query object with field, operator, value
Pitfalls:
- CREATE_CONVERSATION requires a contact (user/lead) as the
from field, not an admin
- Conversation bodies support HTML; plain text is auto-wrapped in
<p> tags
- Search query uses structured filter objects, not free-text search
