Can I use Intercom as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Intercom through MCP?

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

Where are Intercom credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for Intercom MCP tools?

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

Intercom CLI Setup

Intercom can be configured headlessly with `kosmokrator integrations:configure intercom`.

# Install KosmoKrator first if it is not available on PATH.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenCompanyApp/kosmokrator/main/install.sh | bash

# Configure and verify this integration.
kosmokrator integrations:configure intercom --set access_token="$INTERCOM_ACCESS_TOKEN" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmokrator integrations:doctor intercom --json
kosmokrator integrations:status --json

Credentials

Authentication type: Bearer token bearer_token. Configure credentials once, then use the same stored profile from scripts, coding CLIs, Lua code mode, and the MCP gateway.

Key	Env var	Type	Required	Label
`access_token`	`INTERCOM_ACCESS_TOKEN`	Secret `secret`	yes	Access Token
`base_url`	`INTERCOM_BASE_URL`	URL `url`	no	API Base URL

Call Intercom Headlessly

Use the generic call form when another coding CLI or script needs a stable universal interface.

kosmo integrations:call intercom.intercom_list_conversations '{
  "limit": 1,
  "starting_after": "example_starting_after",
  "sort_order": "example_sort_order",
  "status": "example_status"
}' --json

Use the provider shortcut form for shorter human-facing commands.

kosmo integrations:intercom intercom_list_conversations '{
  "limit": 1,
  "starting_after": "example_starting_after",
  "sort_order": "example_sort_order",
  "status": "example_status"
}' --json

Agent Discovery Commands

These commands return structured output for coding agents that need to inspect capabilities before choosing a function.

kosmo integrations:docs intercom --json
kosmo integrations:docs intercom.intercom_list_conversations --json
kosmo integrations:schema intercom.intercom_list_conversations --json
kosmo integrations:search "Intercom" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

All CLI Functions

Every function below can be called headlessly. The generic form is stable across all integrations; the provider shortcut is shorter but specific to Intercom.
