Can I use Twitch as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Twitch through MCP?

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

Where are Twitch credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for Twitch MCP tools?

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

Twitch CLI for Cron Jobs

Schedule repeatable integration workflows from cron while keeping credentials in KosmoKrator config.

Use the headless CLI from cron when an operation should run without an interactive agent session. The Twitch CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# Twitch CLI for Cron Jobs
kosmokrator integrations:configure twitch --set access_token="$TWITCH_ACCESS_TOKEN" --set client_id="$TWITCH_CLIENT_ID" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call twitch.twitch_list_streams '{"game_id":"example_game_id","language":"example_language","user_id":"example_user_id","user_login":"example_user_login","first":1,"after":"example_after","before":"example_before"}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

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

kosmo integrations:docs twitch --json
kosmo integrations:docs twitch.twitch_list_streams --json
kosmo integrations:schema twitch.twitch_list_streams --json
kosmo integrations:search "Twitch" --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.
