Can I use DeepL as a CLI?

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

Can I expose DeepL through MCP?

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

Where are DeepL credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for DeepL MCP tools?

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

DeepL CLI Setup

DeepL can be configured headlessly with `kosmokrator integrations:configure deepl`.

# 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 deepl --set api_key="$DEEPL_API_KEY" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmokrator integrations:doctor deepl --json
kosmokrator integrations:status --json

Credentials

Authentication type: API key api_key. 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
`api_key`	`DEEPL_API_KEY`	Secret `secret`	yes	API Key
`base_url`	`DEEPL_BASE_URL`	URL `url`	no	API Base URL

Call DeepL Headlessly

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

kosmo integrations:call deepl.deepl_translate_text '{
  "text": "example_text",
  "target_lang": "example_target_lang",
  "source_lang": "example_source_lang"
}' --json

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

kosmo integrations:deepl deepl_translate_text '{
  "text": "example_text",
  "target_lang": "example_target_lang",
  "source_lang": "example_source_lang"
}' --json

Agent Discovery Commands

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

kosmo integrations:docs deepl --json
kosmo integrations:docs deepl.deepl_translate_text --json
kosmo integrations:schema deepl.deepl_translate_text --json
kosmo integrations:search "DeepL" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

All CLI Functions

Every function below can be called headlessly. The generic form is stable across all integrations; the provider shortcut is shorter but specific to DeepL.

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.
