Can I use Render as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Render through MCP?

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

Where are Render credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for Render MCP tools?

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

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

Command Shape

# Render CLI for CI
kosmokrator integrations:configure render2 --set api_key="$RENDER2_API_KEY" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call render2.render_list_services '{"limit":1,"cursor":"example_cursor"}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

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

kosmo integrations:docs render2 --json
kosmo integrations:docs render2.render_list_services --json
kosmo integrations:schema render2.render_list_services --json
kosmo integrations:search "Render" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

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.
