View Translation Comparison →Bitbucket Automation via Rube MCP
Automate Bitbucket operations including repository management, pull request workflows, branch operations, issue tracking, and workspace administration through Composio's Bitbucket toolkit.
Prerequisites
- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
- Active Bitbucket connection via with toolkit
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONSbitbucket - Always call first to get current tool schemas
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
Setup
Get Rube MCP: Add as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.
https://rube.app/mcp- Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming responds
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS - Call with toolkit
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONSbitbucket - If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Bitbucket OAuth
- Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
Core Workflows
1. Manage Pull Requests
When to use: User wants to create, review, or inspect pull requests
Tool sequence:
- - Discover accessible workspaces [Prerequisite]
BITBUCKET_LIST_WORKSPACES - - Find the target repository [Prerequisite]
BITBUCKET_LIST_REPOSITORIES_IN_WORKSPACE - - Verify source and destination branches exist [Prerequisite]
BITBUCKET_LIST_BRANCHES - - Create a new PR with title, source branch, and optional reviewers [Required]
BITBUCKET_CREATE_PULL_REQUEST - - List PRs filtered by state (OPEN, MERGED, DECLINED) [Optional]
BITBUCKET_LIST_PULL_REQUESTS - - Get full details of a specific PR by ID [Optional]
BITBUCKET_GET_PULL_REQUEST - - Fetch unified diff for code review [Optional]
BITBUCKET_GET_PULL_REQUEST_DIFF - - Get changed files with lines added/removed [Optional]
BITBUCKET_GET_PULL_REQUEST_DIFFSTAT
Key parameters:
- : Workspace slug or UUID (required for all operations)
workspace - : URL-friendly repository name
repo_slug - : Branch with changes to merge
source_branch - : Target branch (defaults to repo main branch if omitted)
destination_branch - : List of objects with
reviewersfield for reviewer assignmentuuid - : Filter for LIST_PULL_REQUESTS -
state,OPEN, orMERGEDDECLINED - : Truncation limit for GET_PULL_REQUEST_DIFF to handle large diffs
max_chars
Pitfalls:
- expects an array of objects with
reviewerskey, NOT usernames:uuid[{"uuid": "{...}"}] - UUID format must include curly braces:
{123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000} - defaults to the repo's main branch if omitted, which may not be
destination_branchmain - is an integer for GET/DIFF operations but comes back as part of PR listing
pull_request_id - Large diffs can overwhelm context; always set (e.g., 50000) on GET_PULL_REQUEST_DIFF
max_chars
2. Manage Repositories and Workspaces
When to use: User wants to list, create, or delete repositories or explore workspaces
Tool sequence:
- - List all accessible workspaces [Required]
BITBUCKET_LIST_WORKSPACES - - List repos with optional BBQL filtering [Required]
BITBUCKET_LIST_REPOSITORIES_IN_WORKSPACE - - Create a new repo with language, privacy, and project settings [Optional]
BITBUCKET_CREATE_REPOSITORY - - Permanently delete a repository (irreversible) [Optional]
BITBUCKET_DELETE_REPOSITORY - - List members for reviewer assignment or access checks [Optional]
BITBUCKET_LIST_WORKSPACE_MEMBERS
Key parameters:
- : Workspace slug (find via LIST_WORKSPACES)
workspace - : URL-friendly name for create/delete
repo_slug - : BBQL query filter (e.g.,
q,name~"api",project.key="PROJ")is_private=true - : Filter repos by user role:
role,member,contributor,adminowner - : Sort field with optional
sortprefix for descending (e.g.,-)-updated_on - : Boolean for repository visibility (defaults to
is_private)true - : Bitbucket project key; omit to use workspace's oldest project
project_key
Pitfalls:
- is irreversible and does not affect forks
BITBUCKET_DELETE_REPOSITORY - BBQL string values MUST be enclosed in double quotes: not
name~"my-repo"name~my-repo - is NOT a valid BBQL field; use
repositoryinsteadname - Default pagination is 10 results; set explicitly for complete listings
pagelen - defaults to private; set
CREATE_REPOSITORYfor public reposis_private: false
3. Manage Issues
When to use: User wants to create, update, list, or comment on repository issues
Tool sequence:
- - List issues with optional filters for state, priority, kind, assignee [Required]
BITBUCKET_LIST_ISSUES - - Create a new issue with title, content, priority, and kind [Required]
BITBUCKET_CREATE_ISSUE - - Modify issue attributes (state, priority, assignee, etc.) [Optional]
BITBUCKET_UPDATE_ISSUE - - Add a markdown comment to an existing issue [Optional]
BITBUCKET_CREATE_ISSUE_COMMENT - - Permanently delete an issue [Optional]
BITBUCKET_DELETE_ISSUE
Key parameters:
- : String identifier for the issue
issue_id - ,
title: Required for creationcontent - :
kind,bug,enhancement, orproposaltask - :
priority,trivial,minor,major, orcriticalblocker - :
state,new,open,resolved,on hold,invalid,duplicate,wontfixclosed - : Bitbucket username for CREATE;
assignee(UUID) for UPDATEassignee_account_id - : ISO 8601 format date string
due_on
Pitfalls:
- Issue tracker must be enabled on the repository () or API calls will fail
has_issues: true - uses
CREATE_ISSUE(username string), butassigneeusesUPDATE_ISSUE(UUID) -- they are different fieldsassignee_account_id - is permanent with no undo
DELETE_ISSUE - values include spaces:
statenot"on hold""on_hold" - Filtering by in LIST_ISSUES uses account ID, not username; use
assigneestring for unassigned"null"
4. Manage Branches
When to use: User wants to create branches or explore branch structure
Tool sequence:
- - List branches with optional BBQL filter and sorting [Required]
BITBUCKET_LIST_BRANCHES - - Create a new branch from a specific commit hash [Required]
BITBUCKET_CREATE_BRANCH
Key parameters:
- : Branch name without
nameprefix (e.g.,refs/heads/)feature/new-login - : Full SHA1 commit hash to branch from (must exist in repo)
target_hash - : BBQL filter (e.g.,
q,name~"feature/")name="main" - : Sort by
sortorname(descending commit date)-target.date - : 1-100 results per page (default is 10)
pagelen
Pitfalls:
- requires a full commit hash, NOT a branch name as
CREATE_BRANCHtarget_hash - Do NOT include prefix in branch names
refs/heads/ - Branch names must follow Bitbucket naming conventions (alphanumeric, ,
/,.,_)- - BBQL string values need double quotes: not
name~"feature/"name~feature/
5. Review Pull Requests with Comments
When to use: User wants to add review comments to pull requests, including inline code comments
Tool sequence:
- - Get PR details and verify it exists [Prerequisite]
BITBUCKET_GET_PULL_REQUEST - - Review the actual code changes [Prerequisite]
BITBUCKET_GET_PULL_REQUEST_DIFF - - Get list of changed files [Optional]
BITBUCKET_GET_PULL_REQUEST_DIFFSTAT - - Post review comments [Required]
BITBUCKET_CREATE_PULL_REQUEST_COMMENT
Key parameters:
- : String ID of the PR
pull_request_id - : Markdown-formatted comment text
content_raw - : Defaults to
content_markup; also supportsmarkdownplaintext - : Object with
inline,path,fromfor inline code commentsto - : Integer ID for threaded replies to existing comments
parent_comment_id
Pitfalls:
- is a string in CREATE_PULL_REQUEST_COMMENT but an integer in GET_PULL_REQUEST
pull_request_id - Inline comments require at minimum;
inline.path/fromare optional line numbersto - creates a threaded reply; omit for top-level comments
parent_comment_id - Line numbers in inline comments reference the diff, not the source file
Common Patterns
ID Resolution
Always resolve human-readable names to IDs before operations:
- Workspace: to get workspace slugs
BITBUCKET_LIST_WORKSPACES - Repository: with
BITBUCKET_LIST_REPOSITORIES_IN_WORKSPACEfilter to find repo slugsq - Branch: to verify branch existence before PR creation
BITBUCKET_LIST_BRANCHES - Members: to get UUIDs for reviewer assignment
BITBUCKET_LIST_WORKSPACE_MEMBERS
Pagination
Bitbucket uses page-based pagination (not cursor-based):
- Use (starts at 1) and
page(items per page) parameterspagelen - Default page size is typically 10; set explicitly (max 50 for PRs, 100 for others)
pagelen - Check response for URL or total count to determine if more pages exist
next - Always iterate through all pages for complete results
BBQL Filtering
Bitbucket Query Language is available on list endpoints:
- String values MUST use double quotes:
name~"pattern" - Operators: (exact),
=(contains),~(not equal),!=,>,>=,<<= - Combine with /
AND:ORname~"api" AND is_private=true
Known Pitfalls
ID Formats
- Workspace: slug string (e.g., ) or UUID in braces (
my-workspace){uuid} - Reviewer UUIDs must include curly braces:
{123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000} - Issue IDs are strings; PR IDs are integers in some tools, strings in others
- Commit hashes must be full SHA1 (40 characters)
Parameter Quirks
- vs
assignee: CREATE_ISSUE uses username, UPDATE_ISSUE uses UUIDassignee_account_id - values for issues include spaces:
state, not"on hold""on_hold" - omission defaults to repo main branch, not
destination_branchliterallymain - BBQL is not a valid field -- use
repositoryname
Rate Limits
- Bitbucket Cloud API has rate limits; large batch operations should include delays
- Paginated requests count against rate limits; minimize unnecessary page fetches
Destructive Operations
- is irreversible and does not remove forks
BITBUCKET_DELETE_REPOSITORY - is permanent with no recovery option
BITBUCKET_DELETE_ISSUE - Always confirm with the user before executing delete operations
