Can I use Bitly as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Bitly through MCP?

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

Where are Bitly credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for Bitly MCP tools?

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

Bitly CLI for AI Agents

Use the Bitly CLI from KosmoKrator to call Bitly tools headlessly, return JSON, inspect schemas, and automate workflows from coding agents, scripts, and CI.

Bitly CLI Setup

Bitly can be configured headlessly with `kosmokrator integrations:configure bitly`.

Install, configure, and verify

# 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 bitly --set access_token="$BITLY_ACCESS_TOKEN" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmokrator integrations:doctor bitly --json
kosmokrator integrations:status --json

Credentials

Authentication type: Bearer token bearer_token. Configure credentials once, then reuse the same stored profile from scripts, coding CLIs, Lua, and MCP.

Key	Env var	Type	Required	Label
`access_token`	`BITLY_ACCESS_TOKEN`	Secret `secret`	yes	Access Token

Command Patterns

The generic command is stable across every integration. The provider shortcut is shorter for humans.

Generic CLI call

kosmo integrations:call bitly.bitly_shorten_link '{"long_url":"example_long_url","domain":"example_domain","group_guid":"example_group_guid"}' --json

Provider shortcut

kosmo integrations:bitly bitly_shorten_link '{"long_url":"example_long_url","domain":"example_domain","group_guid":"example_group_guid"}' --json

Discovery

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

Discovery commands

kosmo integrations:docs bitly --json
kosmo integrations:docs bitly.bitly_shorten_link --json
kosmo integrations:schema bitly.bitly_shorten_link --json
kosmo integrations:search "Bitly" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Automation Contexts

The same configured command surface works in these environments. The command does not change unless the host wrapper, credentials, or permissions change.

CI Run integration calls from CI jobs with JSON output, explicit credentials, and predictable exit status. Cron Jobs Schedule repeatable integration workflows from cron while keeping credentials in KosmoKrator config. Shell Scripts Call integration functions from shell scripts with stable JSON input and output. Headless Automation Use KosmoKrator as a non-interactive integration runtime for local automations and wrappers. Coding Agents Let coding agents discover schemas and execute integration functions through CLI commands or MCP.

Permissions

Headless calls still follow the integration read/write permission policy. Configure read/write defaults with integrations:configure. Add --force only for trusted automation that should bypass that policy.
