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
    RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
    with toolkit
    bitbucket
  • 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.
  1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming
    RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
    responds
  2. Call
    RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
    with toolkit
    bitbucket
  3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Bitbucket OAuth
  4. 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:
  1. BITBUCKET_LIST_WORKSPACES
    - Discover accessible workspaces [Prerequisite]
  2. BITBUCKET_LIST_REPOSITORIES_IN_WORKSPACE
    - Find the target repository [Prerequisite]
  3. BITBUCKET_LIST_BRANCHES
    - Verify source and destination branches exist [Prerequisite]
  4. BITBUCKET_CREATE_PULL_REQUEST
    - Create a new PR with title, source branch, and optional reviewers [Required]
  5. BITBUCKET_LIST_PULL_REQUESTS
    - List PRs filtered by state (OPEN, MERGED, DECLINED) [Optional]
  6. BITBUCKET_GET_PULL_REQUEST
    - Get full details of a specific PR by ID [Optional]
  7. BITBUCKET_GET_PULL_REQUEST_DIFF
    - Fetch unified diff for code review [Optional]
  8. BITBUCKET_GET_PULL_REQUEST_DIFFSTAT
    - Get changed files with lines added/removed [Optional]
Key parameters:
  • workspace
    : Workspace slug or UUID (required for all operations)
  • repo_slug
    : URL-friendly repository name
  • source_branch
    : Branch with changes to merge
  • destination_branch
    : Target branch (defaults to repo main branch if omitted)
  • reviewers
    : List of objects with
    uuid
    field for reviewer assignment
  • state
    : Filter for LIST_PULL_REQUESTS -
    OPEN
    ,
    MERGED
    , or
    DECLINED
  • max_chars
    : Truncation limit for GET_PULL_REQUEST_DIFF to handle large diffs
Pitfalls:
  • reviewers
    expects an array of objects with
    uuid
    key, NOT usernames:
    [{"uuid": "{...}"}]
  • UUID format must include curly braces:
    {123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000}
  • destination_branch
    defaults to the repo's main branch if omitted, which may not be
    main
  • pull_request_id
    is an integer for GET/DIFF operations but comes back as part of PR listing
  • Large diffs can overwhelm context; always set
    max_chars
    (e.g., 50000) on GET_PULL_REQUEST_DIFF

2. Manage Repositories and Workspaces

When to use: User wants to list, create, or delete repositories or explore workspaces
Tool sequence:
  1. BITBUCKET_LIST_WORKSPACES
    - List all accessible workspaces [Required]
  2. BITBUCKET_LIST_REPOSITORIES_IN_WORKSPACE
    - List repos with optional BBQL filtering [Required]
  3. BITBUCKET_CREATE_REPOSITORY
    - Create a new repo with language, privacy, and project settings [Optional]
  4. BITBUCKET_DELETE_REPOSITORY
    - Permanently delete a repository (irreversible) [Optional]
  5. BITBUCKET_LIST_WORKSPACE_MEMBERS
    - List members for reviewer assignment or access checks [Optional]
Key parameters:
  • workspace
    : Workspace slug (find via LIST_WORKSPACES)
  • repo_slug
    : URL-friendly name for create/delete
  • q
    : BBQL query filter (e.g.,
    name~"api"
    ,
    project.key="PROJ"
    ,
    is_private=true
    )
  • role
    : Filter repos by user role:
    member
    ,
    contributor
    ,
    admin
    ,
    owner
  • sort
    : Sort field with optional
    -
    prefix for descending (e.g.,
    -updated_on
    )
  • is_private
    : Boolean for repository visibility (defaults to
    true
    )
  • project_key
    : Bitbucket project key; omit to use workspace's oldest project
Pitfalls:
  • BITBUCKET_DELETE_REPOSITORY
    is irreversible and does not affect forks
  • BBQL string values MUST be enclosed in double quotes:
    name~"my-repo"
    not
    name~my-repo
  • repository
    is NOT a valid BBQL field; use
    name
    instead
  • Default pagination is 10 results; set
    pagelen
    explicitly for complete listings
  • CREATE_REPOSITORY
    defaults to private; set
    is_private: false
    for public repos

3. Manage Issues

When to use: User wants to create, update, list, or comment on repository issues
Tool sequence:
  1. BITBUCKET_LIST_ISSUES
    - List issues with optional filters for state, priority, kind, assignee [Required]
  2. BITBUCKET_CREATE_ISSUE
    - Create a new issue with title, content, priority, and kind [Required]
  3. BITBUCKET_UPDATE_ISSUE
    - Modify issue attributes (state, priority, assignee, etc.) [Optional]
  4. BITBUCKET_CREATE_ISSUE_COMMENT
    - Add a markdown comment to an existing issue [Optional]
  5. BITBUCKET_DELETE_ISSUE
    - Permanently delete an issue [Optional]
Key parameters:
  • issue_id
    : String identifier for the issue
  • title
    ,
    content
    : Required for creation
  • kind
    :
    bug
    ,
    enhancement
    ,
    proposal
    , or
    task
  • priority
    :
    trivial
    ,
    minor
    ,
    major
    ,
    critical
    , or
    blocker
  • state
    :
    new
    ,
    open
    ,
    resolved
    ,
    on hold
    ,
    invalid
    ,
    duplicate
    ,
    wontfix
    ,
    closed
  • assignee
    : Bitbucket username for CREATE;
    assignee_account_id
    (UUID) for UPDATE
  • due_on
    : ISO 8601 format date string
Pitfalls:
  • Issue tracker must be enabled on the repository (
    has_issues: true
    ) or API calls will fail
  • CREATE_ISSUE
    uses
    assignee
    (username string), but
    UPDATE_ISSUE
    uses
    assignee_account_id
    (UUID) -- they are different fields
  • DELETE_ISSUE
    is permanent with no undo
  • state
    values include spaces:
    "on hold"
    not
    "on_hold"
  • Filtering by
    assignee
    in LIST_ISSUES uses account ID, not username; use
    "null"
    string for unassigned

4. Manage Branches

When to use: User wants to create branches or explore branch structure
Tool sequence:
  1. BITBUCKET_LIST_BRANCHES
    - List branches with optional BBQL filter and sorting [Required]
  2. BITBUCKET_CREATE_BRANCH
    - Create a new branch from a specific commit hash [Required]
Key parameters:
  • name
    : Branch name without
    refs/heads/
    prefix (e.g.,
    feature/new-login
    )
  • target_hash
    : Full SHA1 commit hash to branch from (must exist in repo)
  • q
    : BBQL filter (e.g.,
    name~"feature/"
    ,
    name="main"
    )
  • sort
    : Sort by
    name
    or
    -target.date
    (descending commit date)
  • pagelen
    : 1-100 results per page (default is 10)
Pitfalls:
  • CREATE_BRANCH
    requires a full commit hash, NOT a branch name as
    target_hash
  • Do NOT include
    refs/heads/
    prefix in branch names
  • Branch names must follow Bitbucket naming conventions (alphanumeric,
    /
    ,
    .
    ,
    _
    ,
    -
    )
  • BBQL string values need double quotes:
    name~"feature/"
    not
    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:
  1. BITBUCKET_GET_PULL_REQUEST
    - Get PR details and verify it exists [Prerequisite]
  2. BITBUCKET_GET_PULL_REQUEST_DIFF
    - Review the actual code changes [Prerequisite]
  3. BITBUCKET_GET_PULL_REQUEST_DIFFSTAT
    - Get list of changed files [Optional]
  4. BITBUCKET_CREATE_PULL_REQUEST_COMMENT
    - Post review comments [Required]
Key parameters:
  • pull_request_id
    : String ID of the PR
  • content_raw
    : Markdown-formatted comment text
  • content_markup
    : Defaults to
    markdown
    ; also supports
    plaintext
  • inline
    : Object with
    path
    ,
    from
    ,
    to
    for inline code comments
  • parent_comment_id
    : Integer ID for threaded replies to existing comments
Pitfalls:
  • pull_request_id
    is a string in CREATE_PULL_REQUEST_COMMENT but an integer in GET_PULL_REQUEST
  • Inline comments require
    inline.path
    at minimum;
    from
    /
    to
    are optional line numbers
  • parent_comment_id
    creates a threaded reply; omit for top-level comments
  • 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:
    BITBUCKET_LIST_WORKSPACES
    to get workspace slugs
  • Repository:
    BITBUCKET_LIST_REPOSITORIES_IN_WORKSPACE
    with
    q
    filter to find repo slugs
  • Branch:
    BITBUCKET_LIST_BRANCHES
    to verify branch existence before PR creation
  • Members:
    BITBUCKET_LIST_WORKSPACE_MEMBERS
    to get UUIDs for reviewer assignment

Pagination

Bitbucket uses page-based pagination (not cursor-based):
  • Use
    page
    (starts at 1) and
    pagelen
    (items per page) parameters
  • Default page size is typically 10; set
    pagelen
    explicitly (max 50 for PRs, 100 for others)
  • Check response for
    next
    URL or total count to determine if more pages exist
  • 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
    /
    OR
    :
    name~"api" AND is_private=true

Known Pitfalls

ID Formats

  • Workspace: slug string (e.g.,
    my-workspace
    ) or UUID in braces (
    {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

  • assignee
    vs
    assignee_account_id
    : CREATE_ISSUE uses username, UPDATE_ISSUE uses UUID
  • state
    values for issues include spaces:
    "on hold"
    , not
    "on_hold"
  • destination_branch
    omission defaults to repo main branch, not
    main
    literally
  • BBQL
    repository
    is not a valid field -- use
    name

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

  • BITBUCKET_DELETE_REPOSITORY
    is irreversible and does not remove forks
  • BITBUCKET_DELETE_ISSUE
    is permanent with no recovery option
  • Always confirm with the user before executing delete operations
