Google Meet Automation via Rube MCP

Create Google Meet video conferences, schedule meetings with Meet links, and manage meeting spaces using Rube MCP (Composio).

Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/googlemeet

Prerequisites

• Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)

• Active connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit googlemeet

• For scheduling meetings with attendees, also connect the googlecalendar toolkit

• 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 googlemeet

• Optionally also connect googlecalendar for scheduling meetings with calendar events

• 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. Create a Standalone Meet Space

Use GOOGLEMEET_CREATE_MEET to create a new Google Meet meeting space with optional access configuration.

Tool: GOOGLEMEET_CREATE_MEET Description: Creates a new Google Meet space, optionally configuring its access type and entry points. Note: Call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS to get the full schema for this tool.

2. Schedule a Meeting with Google Meet Link

Use GOOGLECALENDAR_CREATE_EVENT to create a calendar event that automatically generates a Google Meet link (enabled by default).

Tool: GOOGLECALENDAR_CREATE_EVENT Parameters:

• start_datetime (required): ISO 8601 format (e.g., "2025-01-16T13:00:00")
• summary: Meeting title
• attendees: List of email addresses
• timezone: IANA timezone (e.g., "America/New_York")
• event_duration_hour: Duration hours (default: 0)
• event_duration_minutes: Duration minutes (default: 30, max: 59)
• create_meeting_room: true (default) -- generates Meet link
• description: Meeting agenda/notes
• location: Physical or virtual location

3. Find Available Time Slots

Use GOOGLECALENDAR_FIND_FREE_SLOTS before scheduling to find when participants are available.

Tool: GOOGLECALENDAR_FIND_FREE_SLOTS Parameters:

• items: List of calendar IDs to check (e.g., ["primary", "user@example.com"])
• time_min: Start of time window (ISO format)
• time_max: End of time window (ISO format)
• timezone: IANA timezone

4. Update an Existing Meeting

Use GOOGLECALENDAR_PATCH_EVENT to modify meeting details, reschedule, or update attendees.

Tool: GOOGLECALENDAR_PATCH_EVENT Parameters:

• calendar_id (required): Calendar ID (use "primary")
• event_id (required): Event ID (from search/list)
• summary: Updated title
• start_time / end_time: Rescheduled times
• attendees: Updated attendee list (replaces existing)
• send_updates: Notification preference ("all", "externalOnly", "none")

Common Patterns

• Quick meeting link: Use GOOGLEMEET_CREATE_MEET for an instant meeting space without a calendar event.

• Scheduled meeting with attendees: Use GOOGLECALENDAR_CREATE_EVENT with create_meeting_room: true (default) to create a calendar event with an embedded Meet link. Workspace accounts get a Meet link automatically.

• Check availability first: Use GOOGLECALENDAR_FIND_FREE_SLOTS to find open time slots before scheduling with GOOGLECALENDAR_CREATE_EVENT .

• Resolve names to emails: Use GMAIL_SEARCH_PEOPLE (gmail toolkit) to look up email addresses from names before adding attendees.

• Get current time: Use GOOGLECALENDAR_GET_CURRENT_DATE_TIME with a timezone to get the current date/time for scheduling relative to "now".

Known Pitfalls

• Attendees must be email addresses: GOOGLECALENDAR_CREATE_EVENT only accepts email addresses for attendees, not names. Use GMAIL_SEARCH_PEOPLE to resolve names to emails first.

• Personal Gmail vs Workspace: The create_meeting_room feature works best with Google Workspace accounts. Personal Gmail accounts will gracefully fallback to creating an event without a Meet link.

• start_datetime format: Must be exact ISO 8601 (e.g., 2025-01-16T13:00:00 ). Natural language like "tomorrow at 3pm" is NOT supported.

• Duration limits: event_duration_minutes max is 59. For 1+ hour meetings, use event_duration_hour combined with event_duration_minutes .

• Timezone is critical: Always provide timezone as a valid IANA identifier (e.g., America/New_York ). Abbreviations like "EST" or "PST" are NOT valid.

• Event IDs are opaque: To update or delete events, you must first retrieve the event ID using a search or list tool.
