Can I expose Zoho Bills through MCP?

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

Where are Zoho Bills credentials stored?

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

Call Zoho Bills Headlessly

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

kosmo integrations:call zoho_bills.zoho_bills_list_invoices '{
  "page": 1,
  "per_page": 1,
  "status": "example_status",
  "customer_id": "example_customer_id"
}' --json

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

kosmo integrations:zoho_bills zoho_bills_list_invoices '{
  "page": 1,
  "per_page": 1,
  "status": "example_status",
  "customer_id": "example_customer_id"
}' --json
