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 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 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 Headless Automation
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.
