Can I use Spotify as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Spotify through MCP?

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

Where are Spotify credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for Spotify MCP tools?

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

Spotify CLI Setup

Spotify can be configured headlessly with `kosmokrator integrations:configure spotify`.

# 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 spotify --set access_token="$SPOTIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmokrator integrations:doctor spotify --json
kosmokrator integrations:status --json

Credentials

Authentication type: Manual OAuth token oauth2_manual_token. Configure credentials once, then use the same stored profile from scripts, coding CLIs, Lua code mode, and the MCP gateway.

Key	Env var	Type	Required	Label
`access_token`	`SPOTIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN`	Secret `secret`	yes	Access Token
`url`	`SPOTIFY_URL`	URL `url`	no	API URL

Call Spotify Headlessly

Use the generic call form when another coding CLI or script needs a stable universal interface.

kosmo integrations:call spotify.spotify_search '{
  "q": "example_q",
  "type": "example_type",
  "limit": 1,
  "offset": 1
}' --json

Use the provider shortcut form for shorter human-facing commands.

kosmo integrations:spotify spotify_search '{
  "q": "example_q",
  "type": "example_type",
  "limit": 1,
  "offset": 1
}' --json

Agent Discovery Commands

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

kosmo integrations:docs spotify --json
kosmo integrations:docs spotify.spotify_search --json
kosmo integrations:schema spotify.spotify_search --json
kosmo integrations:search "Spotify" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json
