Can I use Kintone as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Kintone through MCP?

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

Where are Kintone credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for Kintone MCP tools?

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

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

Command Shape

# Kintone CLI for Shell Scripts
kosmokrator integrations:configure kintone --set access_token="$KINTONE_ACCESS_TOKEN" --set domain="$KINTONE_DOMAIN" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call kintone.kintone_list_records '{"app":1,"query":"example_query","fields":"example_fields","limit":1,"offset":1}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

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

kosmo integrations:docs kintone --json
kosmo integrations:docs kintone.kintone_list_records --json
kosmo integrations:schema kintone.kintone_list_records --json
kosmo integrations:search "Kintone" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Useful Kintone CLI Functions

Function	Type	Parameters	Description
`kintone.kintone_list_records`	Read	app, query, fields, limit, offset	Retrieve records from a Kintone app. Supports filtering with a query string, selecting specific fields, and pagination with limit/offset. Use this to search and list data stored in any Kintone app.
`kintone.kintone_get_record`	Read	app, id	Retrieve a single record from a Kintone app by its record ID. Returns all field values for the record.
`kintone.kintone_create_record`	Write	app, record	Create a new record in a Kintone app. The record parameter is an object keyed by field codes, each containing a "value" property (e.g., {"Title": {"value": "Hello"}, "Number": {"value": 42}}).
`kintone.kintone_list_apps`	Read	limit, offset	List available Kintone apps. Returns app IDs, names, and descriptions to help discover which apps are accessible.
`kintone.kintone_get_app`	Read	id	Get details of a specific Kintone app, including its name, description, and settings.
`kintone.kintone_list_spaces`	Read	limit, offset	List Kintone spaces. Spaces are collaborative workspaces that contain apps, threads, and other resources.
`kintone.kintone_get_current_user`	Read	none	Get the profile of the currently authenticated Kintone user, including name, email, and user settings.

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.
