Can I use Harvest as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Harvest through MCP?

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

Where are Harvest credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for Harvest MCP tools?

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

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

Command Shape

# Harvest CLI for Coding Agents
kosmokrator integrations:configure harvest --set access_token="$HARVEST_ACCESS_TOKEN" --set account_id="$HARVEST_ACCOUNT_ID" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call harvest.harvest_list_time_entries '{"user_id":1,"client_id":1,"project_id":1,"is_billed":true,"is_running":true,"from":"example_from","to":"example_to","page":1}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

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

kosmo integrations:docs harvest --json
kosmo integrations:docs harvest.harvest_list_time_entries --json
kosmo integrations:schema harvest.harvest_list_time_entries --json
kosmo integrations:search "Harvest" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

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.
