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 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 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 Headless Automation
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.
