Can I use Basecamp 3 as a CLI?

Yes. KosmoKrator exposes a Basecamp 3 CLI through kosmo integrations:call and the provider shortcut command. Commands can return JSON for scripts, CI, and coding agents.

Can I expose Basecamp 3 through MCP?

Yes. The KosmoKrator MCP gateway can expose selected Basecamp 3 tools to clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Where are Basecamp 3 credentials stored?

Basecamp 3 credentials are configured in KosmoKrator's local integration settings and reused by CLI, Lua, and MCP gateway surfaces.

Can I deny write access for Basecamp 3 MCP tools?

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

Basecamp 3 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 Basecamp 3 CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# Basecamp 3 CLI for CI
kosmokrator integrations:configure basecamp --set access_token="$BASECAMP_ACCESS_TOKEN" --set account_id="$BASECAMP_ACCOUNT_ID" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call basecamp.basecamp_list_projects '{}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

Agents and scripts can inspect Basecamp 3 docs and schemas before choosing a function.

kosmo integrations:docs basecamp --json
kosmo integrations:docs basecamp.basecamp_list_projects --json
kosmo integrations:schema basecamp.basecamp_list_projects --json
kosmo integrations:search "Basecamp 3" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

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.
