Can I use Appwrite as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Appwrite through MCP?

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

Where are Appwrite credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for Appwrite MCP tools?

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

Appwrite CLI for Shell Scripts

Call integration functions from shell scripts with stable JSON input and output.

Use shell scripts for small local automations that need one or more integration calls. The Appwrite CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# Appwrite CLI for Shell Scripts
kosmokrator integrations:configure appwrite --set api_key="$APPWRITE_API_KEY" --set project_id="$APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call appwrite.appwrite_list_databases '{"limit":1,"offset":1,"search":"example_search"}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

Agents and scripts can inspect Appwrite docs and schemas before choosing a function.

kosmo integrations:docs appwrite --json
kosmo integrations:docs appwrite.appwrite_list_databases --json
kosmo integrations:schema appwrite.appwrite_list_databases --json
kosmo integrations:search "Appwrite" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

`appwrite.appwrite_list_collections`	Read	database_id, limit, offset	List all collections in an Appwrite database. Returns collection IDs and names.
`appwrite.appwrite_list_documents`	Read	database_id, collection_id, limit, offset	List documents in an Appwrite collection. Returns document data and metadata.
`appwrite.appwrite_get_document`	Read	database_id, collection_id, doc_id	Get a single document from an Appwrite collection by its ID.

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.
