Can I use API Template IO as a CLI?

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

Can I expose API Template IO through MCP?

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

Where are API Template IO credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for API Template IO MCP tools?

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

API Template IO CLI for Headless Automation

Use KosmoKrator as a non-interactive integration runtime for local automations and wrappers.

Use headless automation when another tool needs a stable local command surface. The API Template IO CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# API Template IO CLI for Headless Automation
kosmokrator integrations:configure apitemplateio --set api_key="$APITEMPLATEIO_API_KEY" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call apitemplateio.apitemplateio_create_pdf '{"template_id":"example_template_id","data":"example_data","output_html":true,"expire":1,"meta":"example_meta"}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

Agents and scripts can inspect API Template IO docs and schemas before choosing a function.

kosmo integrations:docs apitemplateio --json
kosmo integrations:docs apitemplateio.apitemplateio_create_pdf --json
kosmo integrations:schema apitemplateio.apitemplateio_create_pdf --json
kosmo integrations:search "API Template IO" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

`apitemplateio.apitemplateio_create_pdf`	Write	template_id, data, output_html, expire, meta	Generate a PDF document from an API Template IO template. Provide a template ID and the data to merge into the template.
`apitemplateio.apitemplateio_create_image`	Write	template_id, data, output_format, output_html, expire, meta	Generate an image (PNG or JPEG) from an API Template IO template. Provide a template ID, data, and the desired output format.
`apitemplateio.apitemplateio_list_templates`	Read	limit, offset, filter	List available templates in API Template IO. Returns a paginated list of template IDs, names, and metadata.
`apitemplateio.apitemplateio_get_template`	Read	template_id	Get details for a specific API Template IO template by ID. Returns the template definition, schema, and configuration.
`apitemplateio.apitemplateio_get_current_user`	Read	none	Get the current authenticated user's account information from API Template IO, including usage and subscription details.

Automation Notes

Use --json for machine-readable output.
Keep credentials out of argv by using environment variables or stored KosmoKrator configuration.
Configure read/write policy before unattended runs; use --force only for trusted automation.
Use the MCP gateway instead when the agent needs dynamic tool discovery inside a conversation.
