Can I use EmailOctopus as a CLI?

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

Can I expose EmailOctopus through MCP?

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

Where are EmailOctopus credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for EmailOctopus MCP tools?

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

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

Command Shape

# EmailOctopus CLI for Coding Agents
kosmokrator integrations:configure email-octopus --set api_key="$EMAIL_OCTOPUS_API_KEY" --set list_id="$EMAIL_OCTOPUS_LIST_ID" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call email-octopus.emailoctopus_list_contacts '{"list_id":"example_list_id","limit":1,"before":"example_before","after":"example_after"}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

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

kosmo integrations:docs email-octopus --json
kosmo integrations:docs email-octopus.emailoctopus_list_contacts --json
kosmo integrations:schema email-octopus.emailoctopus_list_contacts --json
kosmo integrations:search "EmailOctopus" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Automation Notes

Use --json for machine-readable output.

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.
