Can I use Microsoft Outlook as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Microsoft Outlook through MCP?

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

Where are Microsoft Outlook credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for Microsoft Outlook MCP tools?

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

Microsoft Outlook CLI for CI

Run integration calls from CI jobs with JSON output, explicit credentials, and predictable exit status.

Use this shape when a pipeline needs to read or update an external service. The Microsoft Outlook CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# Microsoft Outlook CLI for CI
kosmokrator integrations:configure microsoft-outlook --set access_token="$MICROSOFT_OUTLOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call microsoft-outlook.outlook_list_messages '{"top":1,"filter":"example_filter","orderby":"example_orderby","select":"example_select","skip":1}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

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

kosmo integrations:docs microsoft-outlook --json
kosmo integrations:docs microsoft-outlook.outlook_list_messages --json
kosmo integrations:schema microsoft-outlook.outlook_list_messages --json
kosmo integrations:search "Microsoft Outlook" --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.
