Can I use Zoho Bills as a CLI?

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

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.

Can I deny write access for Zoho Bills MCP tools?

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

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