Can I use Semantic Scholar as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Semantic Scholar through MCP?

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

Where are Semantic Scholar credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for Semantic Scholar MCP tools?

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

Semantic Scholar for agents

Credentials can be configured manually in web or CLI hosts.

Use this integration from Lua code mode, the headless integrations CLI, or the KosmoKrator MCP gateway. The same package metadata powers all three surfaces.
