Can I use Confluent Cloud as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Confluent Cloud through MCP?

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

Where are Confluent Cloud credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for Confluent Cloud MCP tools?

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

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

Command Shape

# Confluent Cloud CLI for Headless Automation
kosmokrator integrations:configure confluent --set api_token="$CONFLUENT_API_TOKEN" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call confluent.confluent_list_topics '{"cluster_id":"example_cluster_id"}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

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

kosmo integrations:docs confluent --json
kosmo integrations:docs confluent.confluent_list_topics --json
kosmo integrations:schema confluent.confluent_list_topics --json
kosmo integrations:search "Confluent Cloud" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Useful Confluent Cloud CLI Functions

Function	Type	Parameters	Description
`confluent.confluent_list_topics`	Read	cluster_id	List Kafka topics in a Confluent cluster. Returns topic names, partition counts, replication factors, and status.
`confluent.confluent_get_topic`	Read	topic_name, cluster_id	Get full details of a specific Kafka topic by name. Returns partition count, replication factor, and topic configuration.
`confluent.confluent_create_topic`	Write	topic_name, partitions_count, replication_factor, configs, cluster_id	Create a new Kafka topic in a Confluent cluster. Specify the topic name, partition count, and optional replication factor and configs.
`confluent.confluent_list_clusters`	Read	none	List Kafka clusters in your Confluent Cloud environment. Returns cluster IDs, names, types, and status.
`confluent.confluent_get_cluster`	Read	cluster_id	Get details of a specific Kafka cluster. Returns broker count, controller info, and cluster configuration.
`confluent.confluent_list_environments`	Read	none	List Confluent Cloud environments. Returns environment IDs, names, and associated cluster resources.
`confluent.confluent_get_current_user`	Read	none	Get the currently authenticated Confluent Cloud user. Useful for verifying credentials and identifying the connected account.

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.
