Can I use Argo CD as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Argo CD through MCP?

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

Where are Argo CD credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for Argo CD MCP tools?

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

Argo CD CLI for Cron Jobs

Schedule repeatable integration workflows from cron while keeping credentials in KosmoKrator config.

Use the headless CLI from cron when an operation should run without an interactive agent session. The Argo CD CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# Argo CD CLI for Cron Jobs
kosmokrator integrations:configure argocd --set api_key="$ARGOCD_API_KEY" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call argocd.argocd_list_applications '{"project":"example_project","selector":"example_selector","repo":"example_repo"}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

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

kosmo integrations:docs argocd --json
kosmo integrations:docs argocd.argocd_list_applications --json
kosmo integrations:schema argocd.argocd_list_applications --json
kosmo integrations:search "Argo CD" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Useful Argo CD CLI Functions

Function	Type	Parameters	Description
`argocd.argocd_list_applications`	Read	project, selector, repo	List all Argo CD applications. Optionally filter by project or label selector.
`argocd.argocd_get_application`	Read	name, project, refresh	Get details for a specific Argo CD application, including sync status, health, source, and destination.
`argocd.argocd_create_application`	Write	name, project, repo_url, path, revision, dest_server, dest_namespace, sync_policy, sync_options, labels, description	Create a new Argo CD application. Requires application name, project, source repository with path and revision, and destination cluster/namespace.
`argocd.argocd_list_projects`	Read	none	List all Argo CD projects.
`argocd.argocd_get_project`	Read	name	Get details for a specific Argo CD project, including source/destination rules and cluster configurations.
`argocd.argocd_list_repositories`	Read	repo	List all configured Git repositories in Argo CD, including connection status.
`argocd.argocd_get_current_user`	Read	none	Get the authenticated Argo CD user's profile information.

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.
