Can I use Typst as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Typst through MCP?

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

Where are Typst credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for Typst MCP tools?

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

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

Command Shape

# Typst CLI for Coding Agents
kosmokrator integrations:configure typst --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call typst.render_typst '{"markup":"example_markup","title":"example_title"}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

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

kosmo integrations:docs typst --json
kosmo integrations:docs typst.render_typst --json
kosmo integrations:schema typst.render_typst --json
kosmo integrations:search "Typst" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Useful Typst CLI Functions

Function	Type	Parameters	Description
`typst.render_typst`	Write	markup, title	Render a Typst document to PDF. Pass valid Typst markup and get back a downloadable PDF link. Use this tool to generate formatted documents: reports, invoices, proposals, summaries, letters, tables, and more. Example markup: ``` #set page(margin: 2cm) #set text(size: 11pt) = Quarterly Report == Summary Revenue increased by 15% compared to last quarter. #table( columns: (1fr, 1fr, 1fr), [Metric], [Q1], [Q2], [Revenue], [$1.2M], [$1.38M], [Users], [12,000], [15,400], ) ``` Key Typst syntax: - `= Heading` for headings (`==` for h2, `===` for h3) - `bold` for bold, `_italic_` for italic - `#table(columns: ..., [...], [...])` for tables - `#set page(margin: 2cm)` for page settings - `#set text(size: 12pt, font: "...")` for text settings - `- item` for bullet lists, `+ item` for numbered lists - `#line(length: 100%)` for horizontal rules - `#align(center)[...]` for alignment - `#v(1em)` for vertical spacing

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.
