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 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 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 Headless Automation
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.
