Can I use Avalara as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Avalara through MCP?

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

Where are Avalara credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for Avalara MCP tools?

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

Avalara CLI for CI

Run integration calls from CI jobs with JSON output, explicit credentials, and predictable exit status.

Use this shape when a pipeline needs to read or update an external service. The Avalara CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# Avalara CLI for CI
kosmokrator integrations:configure avalara --set access_token="$AVALARA_ACCESS_TOKEN" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call avalara.avalara_list_transactions '{"top":1,"skip":1,"filter":"example_filter","orderBy":"example_orderBy"}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

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

kosmo integrations:docs avalara --json
kosmo integrations:docs avalara.avalara_list_transactions --json
kosmo integrations:schema avalara.avalara_list_transactions --json
kosmo integrations:search "Avalara" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Automation Notes

Use --json for machine-readable output.

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.
