Can I use Strapi as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Strapi through MCP?

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

Where are Strapi credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for Strapi MCP tools?

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

Strapi CLI for Coding Agents

Let coding agents discover schemas and execute integration functions through CLI commands or MCP.

Use this pattern when another coding agent needs exact commands and schema discovery. The Strapi CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# Strapi CLI for Coding Agents
kosmokrator integrations:configure strapi --set api_token="$STRAPI_API_TOKEN" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call strapi.strapi_list_entries '{"content_type":"example_content_type","page":1,"page_size":1,"sort":"example_sort","populate":"example_populate"}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

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

kosmo integrations:docs strapi --json
kosmo integrations:docs strapi.strapi_list_entries --json
kosmo integrations:schema strapi.strapi_list_entries --json
kosmo integrations:search "Strapi" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Useful Strapi CLI Functions

Function	Type	Parameters	Description
`strapi.strapi_list_entries`	Read	content_type, page, page_size, sort, populate	List entries for a content type in Strapi. Supports pagination, sorting, and field population (relations, media, components).
`strapi.strapi_get_entry`	Read	content_type, id, populate	Get a single entry from Strapi by content type and ID. Supports population of relations and media.
`strapi.strapi_create_entry`	Write	content_type, data	Create a new entry in Strapi for a given content type. The data is automatically wrapped in the required "data" envelope.
`strapi.strapi_update_entry`	Write	content_type, id, data	Update an existing entry in Strapi by content type and ID. The data is automatically wrapped in the required "data" envelope.
`strapi.strapi_delete_entry`	Write	content_type, id	Delete an entry from Strapi by content type and ID. This action is permanent.
`strapi.strapi_list_content_types`	Read	none	List all content types defined in the Strapi Content-Type Builder. Returns API IDs, display names, and schema information.
`strapi.strapi_get_current_user`	Read	none	Get the currently authenticated Strapi user. Useful for verifying the API token and checking permissions.

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.
