Can I use Zoho Bills as a CLI?

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

Can I expose Zoho Bills through MCP?

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

Where are Zoho Bills credentials stored?

Zoho Bills 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 Bills MCP tools?

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

Zoho Bills CLI for AI Agents

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

Zoho Bills CLI Setup

Zoho Bills can be configured headlessly with `kosmokrator integrations:configure zoho-bills`.

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 zoho-bills --set access_token="$ZOHO_BILLS_ACCESS_TOKEN" --set organization_id="$ZOHO_BILLS_ORGANIZATION_ID" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmokrator integrations:doctor zoho-bills --json
kosmokrator integrations:status --json

Credentials

Authentication type: Manual OAuth token oauth2_manual_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`	`ZOHO_BILLS_ACCESS_TOKEN`	Secret `secret`	yes	Access Token
`organization_id`	`ZOHO_BILLS_ORGANIZATION_ID`	Text `string`	yes	Organization ID
`url`	`ZOHO_BILLS_URL`	URL `url`	no	API Base URL

Command Patterns

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

Generic CLI call

kosmo integrations:call zoho-bills.zoho_bills_list_invoices '{"page":1,"per_page":1,"status":"example_status","customer_id":"example_customer_id"}' --json

Provider shortcut

kosmo integrations:zoho-bills zoho_bills_list_invoices '{"page":1,"per_page":1,"status":"example_status","customer_id":"example_customer_id"}' --json

Discovery

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

Discovery commands

kosmo integrations:docs zoho-bills --json
kosmo integrations:docs zoho-bills.zoho_bills_list_invoices --json
kosmo integrations:schema zoho-bills.zoho_bills_list_invoices --json
kosmo integrations:search "Zoho Bills" --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.
