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 for Coding Agents

Let coding agents discover schemas and execute integration functions through CLI commands or MCP.

Use this pattern when another coding agent needs exact commands and schema discovery. The DeepL CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# DeepL CLI for Coding Agents
kosmokrator integrations:configure deepl --set api_key="$DEEPL_API_KEY" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call deepl.deepl_translate_text '{"text":"example_text","target_lang":"example_target_lang","source_lang":"example_source_lang"}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

Agents and scripts can inspect DeepL docs and schemas 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

Useful DeepL CLI Functions

Function	Type	Parameters	Description
`deepl.deepl_translate_text`	Write	text, target_lang, source_lang	Translate text using DeepL. Supports automatic source language detection or explicit source language specification. Returns translated text with detected source language.
`deepl.deepl_list_languages`	Read	type	List languages supported by DeepL. Returns language codes and names. Filter by type to get only source or target languages.
`deepl.deepl_get_usage`	Read	none	Get current DeepL API usage. Returns the number of characters translated and the character limit for the current billing period.
`deepl.deepl_list_glossaries`	Read	none	List all glossaries in your DeepL account. Returns glossary IDs, names, language pairs, and entry counts.
`deepl.deepl_get_glossary`	Read	id	Get details of a specific DeepL glossary by ID. Returns glossary name, source/target languages, entry count, and creation timestamp.
`deepl.deepl_create_glossary`	Write	name, source_lang, target_lang, entries	Create a new DeepL glossary. Glossaries define custom translations for specific terms. Entries are tab-separated pairs (source\ttarget), one per line.
`deepl.deepl_get_current_user`	Read	none	Get current DeepL account information. Returns usage statistics and account details.

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.
