Can I use openFDA as a CLI?

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

Can I expose openFDA through MCP?

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

Where are openFDA credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for openFDA MCP tools?

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

openFDA CLI for AI Agents

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

openFDA CLI Setup

openFDA can be configured headlessly with `kosmokrator integrations:configure openfda`.

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 openfda --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmokrator integrations:doctor openfda --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 openfda.openfda_drug_event '{}' --json

Provider shortcut

kosmo integrations:openfda openfda_drug_event '{}' --json

Discovery

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

Discovery commands

kosmo integrations:docs openfda --json
kosmo integrations:docs openfda.openfda_drug_event --json
kosmo integrations:schema openfda.openfda_drug_event --json
kosmo integrations:search "openFDA" --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.

Permissions

Headless calls still follow the integration read/write permission policy. Configure read/write defaults with integrations:configure. Add --force only for trusted automation that should bypass that policy.
