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 basecamp If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Basecamp OAuth Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows ### 1. Manage To-Do Lists and Tasks When to use: User wants to create to-do lists, add tasks, or organize work within a Basecamp project Tool sequence: BASECAMP_GET_PROJECTS - List projects to find the target bucket_id [Prerequisite] BASECAMP_GET_BUCKETS_TODOSETS - Get the to-do set within a project [Prerequisite] BASECAMP_GET_BUCKETS_TODOSETS_TODOLISTS - List existing to-do lists to avoid duplicates [Optional] BASECAMP_POST_BUCKETS_TODOSETS_TODOLISTS - Create a new to-do list in a to-do set [Required for list creation] BASECAMP_GET_BUCKETS_TODOLISTS - Get details of a specific to-do list [Optional] BASECAMP_POST_BUCKETS_TODOLISTS_TODOS - Create a to-do item in a to-do list [Required for task creation] BASECAMP_CREATE_TODO - Alternative tool for creating individual to-dos [Alternative] BASECAMP_GET_BUCKETS_TODOLISTS_TODOS - List to-dos within a to-do list [Optional] Key parameters for creating to-do lists: bucket_id: Integer project/bucket ID (from GET_PROJECTS) todoset_id: Integer to-do set ID (from GET_BUCKETS_TODOSETS) name: Title of the to-do list (required) description: HTML-formatted description (supports Rich text) Key parameters for creating to-dos: bucket_id: Integer project/bucket ID todolist_id: Integer to-do list ID content: What the to-do is for (required) description: HTML details about the to-do assignee_ids: Array of integer person IDs due_on: Due date in YYYY-MM-DD format starts_on: Start date in YYYY-MM-DD format notify: Boolean to notify assignees (defaults to false) completion_subscriber_ids: Person IDs notified upon completion Pitfalls: A project (bucket) can contain multiple to-do sets; selecting the wrong todoset_id creates lists in the wrong section Always check existing to-do lists before creating to avoid near-duplicate names Success payloads include user-facing URLs (app_url, app_todos_url); prefer returning these over raw IDs All IDs (bucket_id, todoset_id, todolist_id) are integers, not strings Descriptions support HTML formatting only, not Markdown ### 2. Post and Manage Messages When to use: User wants to post messages to a project message board or update existing messages Tool sequence: BASECAMP_GET_PROJECTS - Find the target project and bucket_id [Prerequisite] BASECAMP_GET_MESSAGE_BOARD - Get the message board ID for the project [Prerequisite] BASECAMP_CREATE_MESSAGE - Create a new message on the board [Required] BASECAMP_POST_BUCKETS_MESSAGE_BOARDS_MESSAGES - Alternative message creation tool [Fallback] BASECAMP_GET_MESSAGE - Read a specific message by ID [Optional] BASECAMP_PUT_BUCKETS_MESSAGES - Update an existing message [Optional] Key parameters: bucket_id: Integer project/bucket ID message_board_id: Integer message board ID (from GET_MESSAGE_BOARD) subject: Message title (required) content: HTML body of the message status: Set to "active" to publish immediately category_id: Message type classification (optional) subscriptions: Array of person IDs to notify; omit to notify all project members Pitfalls: status="draft" can produce HTTP 400; use status="active" as the reliable option bucket_id and message_board_id must belong to the same project; mismatches fail or misroute Message content supports HTML tags only; not Markdown Updates via PUT_BUCKETS_MESSAGES replace the entire body -- include the full corrected content, not just a diff Prefer app_url from the response for user-facing confirmation links Both CREATE_MESSAGE and POST_BUCKETS_MESSAGE_BOARDS_MESSAGES do the same thing; use CREATE_MESSAGE first and fall back to POST if it fails ### 3. Manage People and Access When to use: User wants to list people, manage project access, or add new users Tool sequence: BASECAMP_GET_PEOPLE - List all people visible to the current user [Required] BASECAMP_GET_PROJECTS - Find the target project [Prerequisite] BASECAMP_LIST_PROJECT_PEOPLE - List people on a specific project [Required] BASECAMP_GET_PROJECTS_PEOPLE - Alternative to list project members [Alternative] BASECAMP_PUT_PROJECTS_PEOPLE_USERS - Grant or revoke project access [Required for access changes] Key parameters for PUT_PROJECTS_PEOPLE_USERS: project_id: Integer project ID grant: Array of integer person IDs to add to the project revoke: Array of integer person IDs to remove from the project create: Array of objects with name, email_address, and optional company_name, title for new users At least one of grant, revoke, or create must be provided Pitfalls: Person IDs are integers; always resolve names to IDs via GET_PEOPLE first project_id for people management is the same as bucket_id for other operations LIST_PROJECT_PEOPLE and GET_PROJECTS_PEOPLE are near-identical; use either Creating users via create also grants them project access in one step ### 4. Organize To-Dos with Groups When to use: User wants to organize to-dos within a list into color-coded groups Tool sequence: BASECAMP_GET_PROJECTS - Find the target project [Prerequisite] BASECAMP_GET_BUCKETS_TODOLISTS - Get the to-do list details [Prerequisite] BASECAMP_GET_TODOLIST_GROUPS - List existing groups in a to-do list [Optional] BASECAMP_GET_BUCKETS_TODOLISTS_GROUPS - Alternative group listing [Alternative] BASECAMP_POST_BUCKETS_TODOLISTS_GROUPS - Create a new group in a to-do list [Required] BASECAMP_CREATE_TODOLIST_GROUP - Alternative group creation tool [Alternative] Key parameters: bucket_id: Integer project/bucket ID todolist_id: Integer to-do list ID name: Group title (required) color: Visual color identifier -- one of: white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, aqua, purple, gray, pink, brown status: Filter for listing -- "archived" or "trashed" (omit for active groups) Pitfalls: POST_BUCKETS_TODOLISTS_GROUPS and CREATE_TODOLIST_GROUP are near-identical; use either Color values must be from the fixed palette; arbitrary hex/rgb values are not supported Groups are sub-sections within a to-do list, not standalone entities ### 5. Browse and Inspect Projects When to use: User wants to list projects, get project details, or explore project structure Tool sequence: BASECAMP_GET_PROJECTS - List all active projects [Required] BASECAMP_GET_PROJECT - Get comprehensive details for a specific project [Optional] BASECAMP_GET_PROJECTS_BY_PROJECT_ID - Alternative project detail retrieval [Alternative] Key parameters: status: Filter by "archived" or "trashed"; omit for active projects project_id: Integer project ID for detailed retrieval Pitfalls: Projects are sorted by most recently created first The response includes a dock array with tools (todoset, message_board, etc.) and their IDs Use the dock tool IDs to find todoset_id, message_board_id, etc. for downstream operations ### ID Resolution Basecamp uses a hierarchical ID structure. Always resolve top-down: Project (bucket_id): BASECAMP_GET_PROJECTS -- find by name, capture the id To-do set (todoset_id): Found in project dock or via BASECAMP_GET_BUCKETS_TODOSETS Message board (message_board_id): Found in project dock or via BASECAMP_GET_MESSAGE_BOARD To-do list (todolist_id): BASECAMP_GET_BUCKETS_TODOSETS_TODOLISTS People (person_id): BASECAMP_GET_PEOPLE or BASECAMP_LIST_PROJECT_PEOPLE Note: bucket_id and project_id refer to the same entity in different contexts ### Pagination Basecamp uses page-based pagination on list endpoints: Response headers or body may indicate more pages available GET_PROJECTS, GET_BUCKETS_TODOSETS_TODOLISTS, and list endpoints return paginated results Continue fetching until no more results are returned ### Content Formatting All rich text fields use HTML, not Markdown Wrap content in
tags; use , ,
