Can I use Dgraph as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Dgraph through MCP?

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

Where are Dgraph credentials stored?

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

Can I deny write access for Dgraph MCP tools?

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

Dgraph CLI for AI Agents

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

Dgraph CLI Setup

Dgraph can be configured headlessly with `kosmokrator integrations:configure dgraph`.

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 dgraph --set bearer_token="$DGRAPH_BEARER_TOKEN" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmokrator integrations:doctor dgraph --json
kosmokrator integrations:status --json

Credentials

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

Key	Env var	Type	Required	Label
`bearer_token`	`DGRAPH_BEARER_TOKEN`	Secret `secret`	yes	Bearer Token
`base_url`	`DGRAPH_BASE_URL`	Text `string`	no	GraphQL Endpoint URL

Command Patterns

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

Generic CLI call

kosmo integrations:call dgraph.dgraph_list_schema '{}' --json

Provider shortcut

kosmo integrations:dgraph dgraph_list_schema '{}' --json

Discovery

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

Discovery commands

kosmo integrations:docs dgraph --json
kosmo integrations:docs dgraph.dgraph_list_schema --json
kosmo integrations:schema dgraph.dgraph_list_schema --json
kosmo integrations:search "Dgraph" --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.

CLI Functions

Every function below can be called headlessly. Commands are highlighted, copyable, and scroll horizontally when payloads are long.

`dgraph.dgraph_get_schema`

Get the GraphQL schema for a specific type in Dgraph. Returns the type definition including all fields and their types. Provide the type name to inspect.

Read read

Parameters: type_name

Generic call

kosmo integrations:call dgraph.dgraph_get_schema '{"type_name":"example_type_name"}' --json

Generic call

kosmo integrations:call dgraph.dgraph_list_types '{}' --json

Shortcut

kosmo integrations:dgraph dgraph_list_types '{}' --json

`dgraph.dgraph_list_indexes`

List all indexes defined in the Dgraph schema. Returns types with their fields and directives, allowing you to identify indexed fields and their index types (hash, exact, term, fulltext, trigram, etc.).

Read read

Parameters: none

Generic call

kosmo integrations:call dgraph.dgraph_list_indexes '{}' --json

Shortcut

kosmo integrations:dgraph dgraph_list_indexes '{}' --json

`dgraph.dgraph_get_node`

Get a specific node from Dgraph by providing its type and ID. Returns the node data including all populated fields. Use the type name as defined in your GraphQL schema.

Read read

Parameters: type, id

Generic call

kosmo integrations:call dgraph.dgraph_get_node '{"type":"example_type","id":"example_id"}' --json

Shortcut

kosmo integrations:dgraph dgraph_get_node '{"type":"example_type","id":"example_id"}' --json
