Can I use Bitly as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Bitly through MCP?

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

Where are Bitly credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for Bitly MCP tools?

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

Bitly CLI Setup

Bitly can be configured headlessly with `kosmokrator integrations:configure bitly`.

# Install KosmoKrator first if it is not available on PATH.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenCompanyApp/kosmokrator/main/install.sh | bash

# Configure and verify this integration.
kosmokrator integrations:configure bitly --set access_token="$BITLY_ACCESS_TOKEN" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmokrator integrations:doctor bitly --json
kosmokrator integrations:status --json

Credentials

Authentication type: Bearer token bearer_token. Configure credentials once, then use the same stored profile from scripts, coding CLIs, Lua code mode, and the MCP gateway.

Key	Env var	Type	Required	Label
`access_token`	`BITLY_ACCESS_TOKEN`	Secret `secret`	yes	Access Token

Call Bitly Headlessly

Use the generic call form when another coding CLI or script needs a stable universal interface.

kosmo integrations:call bitly.bitly_shorten_link '{
  "long_url": "example_long_url",
  "domain": "example_domain",
  "group_guid": "example_group_guid"
}' --json

Use the provider shortcut form for shorter human-facing commands.

kosmo integrations:bitly bitly_shorten_link '{
  "long_url": "example_long_url",
  "domain": "example_domain",
  "group_guid": "example_group_guid"
}' --json

Agent Discovery Commands

These commands return structured output for coding agents that need to inspect capabilities before choosing a function.

kosmo integrations:docs bitly --json
kosmo integrations:docs bitly.bitly_shorten_link --json
kosmo integrations:schema bitly.bitly_shorten_link --json
kosmo integrations:search "Bitly" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Permissions

Headless calls still follow the integration read/write permission policy. Configure read/write defaults with integrations:configure. Add --force only for trusted automation that should bypass that policy.
