Can I use World Bank as a CLI?

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

Can I expose World Bank through MCP?

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

Where are World Bank credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for World Bank MCP tools?

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

World Bank CLI for Headless Automation

Use KosmoKrator as a non-interactive integration runtime for local automations and wrappers.

Use headless automation when another tool needs a stable local command surface. The World Bank CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# World Bank CLI for Headless Automation
kosmokrator integrations:configure worldbank --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call worldbank.worldbank_countries '{"query":"example_query","region":"example_region","income_level":"example_income_level"}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

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

kosmo integrations:docs worldbank --json
kosmo integrations:docs worldbank.worldbank_countries --json
kosmo integrations:schema worldbank.worldbank_countries --json
kosmo integrations:search "World Bank" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

`worldbank.worldbank_get_data`	Read	indicator, countries, date_range, mrnev, per_page	Fetch economic indicator data for one or more countries from the World Bank. Supports date ranges and most-recent-value mode. Use `worldbank_indicators` to find indicator codes and `worldbank_countries` to find ISO codes.
`worldbank.worldbank_compare_data`	Read	indicator, countries, date_range	Compare a single economic indicator across multiple countries. Returns the most recent value for each country side-by-side. Use `worldbank_indicators` to find indicator codes.

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.
