Zoho CRM MCP Integration for Codex
Connect Zoho CRM to Codex through the local KosmoKrator MCP gateway with scoped tools, credentials, and write policy.
Connect Zoho CRM to Codex
Use KosmoKrator as a local MCP proxy for Codex so coding sessions can reach selected integrations with explicit write policy.
Register kosmo mcp:serve as a local stdio server and choose the integration allowlist. The gateway is local, scoped to this integration, and starts with
--write=deny so Codex can inspect read-capable tools without receiving write access by default.
Zoho CRM MCP Config for Codex
Keep write access denied or ask-based unless the workspace is trusted.

kosmokrator mcp:serve --integration=zoho_crm --write=deny Why Use KosmoKrator Here
Expose only Zoho CRM instead of a broad multi-service tool list.
Reuse credentials already configured for the KosmoKrator CLI and Lua runtime.
Start read-only, then opt into ask or allow for trusted workspaces.
