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

Command Shape

# Bitly CLI for Cron Jobs
kosmokrator integrations:configure bitly --set access_token="$BITLY_ACCESS_TOKEN" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call bitly.bitly_shorten_link '{"long_url":"example_long_url","domain":"example_domain","group_guid":"example_group_guid"}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

Agents and scripts can inspect Bitly docs and schemas 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

Useful Bitly CLI Functions

Function	Type	Parameters	Description
`bitly.bitly_shorten_link`	Write	long_url, domain, group_guid	Shorten a long URL into a Bitlink. Returns the shortened URL and link details.
`bitly.bitly_get_link`	Read	bitlink	Retrieve details for a Bitlink, including the long URL, title, tags, and timestamps.
`bitly.bitly_update_link`	Write	bitlink, title, archived, tags	Update a Bitlink's metadata — set the title, archive/unarchive, or update tags.
`bitly.bitly_get_clicks`	Read	bitlink, unit, units, unit_reference	Get click metrics for a Bitlink. Returns click counts by time unit (minute, hour, day, week, month).
`bitly.bitly_list_groups`	Read	none	List all groups in the Bitly account. Groups organize links and are used when creating new Bitlinks.
`bitly.bitly_get_group`	Read	group_guid	Retrieve details for a specific Bitly group by its GUID.
`bitly.bitly_create_bitlink`	Write	long_url, title, tags, domain, group_guid	Create a new Bitlink with title, tags, and optional custom domain. More full-featured than shorten — use this when you need metadata.
`bitly.bitly_get_current_user`	Read	none	Get the authenticated Bitly user's profile. Use this to verify the connection and see account info.

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.
