Can I use Anthropic as a CLI?

Yes. KosmoKrator exposes a Anthropic CLI through kosmo integrations:call and the provider shortcut command. Commands can return JSON for scripts, CI, and coding agents.

Can I expose Anthropic through MCP?

Yes. The KosmoKrator MCP gateway can expose selected Anthropic tools to clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Where are Anthropic credentials stored?

Anthropic credentials are configured in KosmoKrator's local integration settings and reused by CLI, Lua, and MCP gateway surfaces.

Can I deny write access for Anthropic MCP tools?

Yes. Start the gateway with --write=deny for read-only clients, or use ask/allow only for trusted workspaces.

Connect Anthropic to Generic MCP Clients

Connect any stdio-compatible MCP client to local KosmoKrator integration tools.

Register kosmo mcp:serve as the command for a local stdio MCP server. The gateway is local, scoped to this integration, and starts with --write=deny so MCP clients can inspect read-capable tools without receiving write access by default.

Anthropic MCP Config for Generic MCP Clients

Start with read-only write policy and expand only for trusted projects.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kosmokrator-anthropic": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "kosmo",
      "args": [
        "mcp:serve",
        "--integration=anthropic",
        "--write=deny"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run the Gateway Manually

kosmokrator mcp:serve --integration=anthropic --write=deny
