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

Command Shape

# Zoho Invoice CLI for Headless Automation
kosmokrator integrations:configure zoho_invoice --set access_token="$ZOHO_INVOICE_ACCESS_TOKEN" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
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

Discovery Before Execution

Agents and scripts can inspect Zoho Invoice docs and schemas 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

Automation Notes

Use --json for machine-readable output.

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.
