Can I use Zoho Invoice as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Zoho Invoice through MCP?

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

Where are Zoho Invoice credentials stored?

Zoho Invoice 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 Invoice MCP tools?

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

Zoho Invoice CLI Setup

Zoho Invoice can be configured headlessly with `kosmokrator integrations:configure zoho_invoice`.

# Install KosmoKrator first if it is not available on PATH.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenCompanyApp/kosmokrator/main/install.sh | bash

# Configure and verify this integration.
kosmokrator integrations:configure zoho_invoice --set access_token="$ZOHO_INVOICE_ACCESS_TOKEN" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmokrator integrations:doctor zoho_invoice --json
kosmokrator integrations:status --json

Credentials

Authentication type: Manual OAuth token oauth2_manual_token. Configure credentials once, then use the same stored profile from scripts, coding CLIs, Lua code mode, and the MCP gateway.

Key	Env var	Type	Required	Label
`access_token`	`ZOHO_INVOICE_ACCESS_TOKEN`	Secret `secret`	yes	Access Token
`base_url`	`ZOHO_INVOICE_BASE_URL`	URL `url`	no	Base URL
`organization_id`	`ZOHO_INVOICE_ORGANIZATION_ID`	Text `string`	no	Organization ID

Call Zoho Invoice Headlessly

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

kosmo integrations:call zoho_invoice.zohoinvoice_list_invoices '{
  "status": "example_status",
  "customer_id": "example_customer_id",
  "date_start": "example_date_start",
  "date_end": "example_date_end",
  "page": 1,
  "per_page": 1,
  "sort_column": "example_sort_column",
  "sort_order": "example_sort_order"
}' --json

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

kosmo integrations:zoho_invoice zohoinvoice_list_invoices '{
  "status": "example_status",
  "customer_id": "example_customer_id",
  "date_start": "example_date_start",
  "date_end": "example_date_end",
  "page": 1,
  "per_page": 1,
  "sort_column": "example_sort_column",
  "sort_order": "example_sort_order"
}' --json

Agent Discovery Commands

These commands return structured output for coding agents that need to inspect capabilities before choosing a function.

kosmo integrations:docs zoho_invoice --json
kosmo integrations:docs zoho_invoice.zohoinvoice_list_invoices --json
kosmo integrations:schema zoho_invoice.zohoinvoice_list_invoices --json
kosmo integrations:search "Zoho Invoice" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json
