Can I use Hugging Face as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Hugging Face through MCP?

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

Where are Hugging Face credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for Hugging Face MCP tools?

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

Hugging Face CLI for Shell Scripts

Call integration functions from shell scripts with stable JSON input and output.

Use shell scripts for small local automations that need one or more integration calls. The Hugging Face CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# Hugging Face CLI for Shell Scripts
kosmokrator integrations:configure huggingface --set access_token="$HUGGINGFACE_ACCESS_TOKEN" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call huggingface.huggingface_list_models '{"search":"example_search","author":"example_author","task":"example_task","tags":"example_tags","sort":"example_sort","direction":"example_direction","limit":1,"offset":1}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

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

kosmo integrations:docs huggingface --json
kosmo integrations:docs huggingface.huggingface_list_models --json
kosmo integrations:schema huggingface.huggingface_list_models --json
kosmo integrations:search "Hugging Face" --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.
