Can I use Open Library as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Open Library through MCP?

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

Where are Open Library credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for Open Library MCP tools?

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

Open Library CLI for AI Agents

Use the Open Library CLI from KosmoKrator to call Open Library tools headlessly, return JSON, inspect schemas, and automate workflows from coding agents, scripts, and CI.

Open Library CLI Setup

Open Library can be configured headlessly with `kosmokrator integrations:configure open-library`.

Install, configure, and verify

# 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 open-library --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmokrator integrations:doctor open-library --json
kosmokrator integrations:status --json

Credentials

Authentication type: No credentials none. Configure credentials once, then reuse the same stored profile from scripts, coding CLIs, Lua, and MCP.

No credentials are required.

Command Patterns

The generic command is stable across every integration. The provider shortcut is shorter for humans.

Generic CLI call

kosmo integrations:call open-library.open_library_search_books '{}' --json

Provider shortcut

kosmo integrations:open-library open_library_search_books '{}' --json

Discovery

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

Discovery commands

kosmo integrations:docs open-library --json
kosmo integrations:docs open-library.open_library_search_books --json
kosmo integrations:schema open-library.open_library_search_books --json
kosmo integrations:search "Open Library" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Automation Contexts

The same configured command surface works in these environments. The command does not change unless the host wrapper, credentials, or permissions change.

CI Run integration calls from CI jobs with JSON output, explicit credentials, and predictable exit status. Cron Jobs Schedule repeatable integration workflows from cron while keeping credentials in KosmoKrator config. Shell Scripts Call integration functions from shell scripts with stable JSON input and output. Headless Automation Use KosmoKrator as a non-interactive integration runtime for local automations and wrappers. Coding Agents Let coding agents discover schemas and execute integration functions through CLI commands or MCP.
