Watch Skill in Agent Zero

Status: doc-verified ☑ — config matches the official Agent Zero MCP docs; not executed here.

Install

uvx --from "watch-skill[standard]" watch-skill doctor

uvx fetches the package on first use and needs no checkout. Prefer a permanent install? pipx install "watch-skill[standard]", then use "command": "watch-skill", "args": ["serve"] in the config below.

From source instead (contributors)

git clone https://github.com/oxbshw/watch-skill && cd watch-skill
uv sync --extra all
uv run watch-skill doctor

Then run watch-skill setup, which writes the config pointing at your checkout rather than the published package.

Configure

Agent Zero's Settings UI → MCP → external servers takes the standard mcpServers JSON (persisted to tmp/settings.json under "mcp_servers"):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "watch-skill": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "watch-skill[standard]", "watch-skill", "serve"]
    }
  }
}

Agent Zero queries the server on startup and injects the tool list into its system prompt, so the tools are visible to the agent immediately.

Smoke test (3 steps)

1. New chat: "Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqz-KE-bpKQ and tell me what happens at 0:10."
2. Watch the tool router pick watch_video.
3. Follow up: "what color is the bird?" — should route to ask_video, no re-processing.

Notes

• Agent Zero usually runs dockerized. Run the MCP server inside the same container (or use watch-skill serve --http on the host and configure a remote streaming-HTTP entry instead) so frame paths in reports are readable where the agent runs, and mount ~/.watch-skill/ if the container is ephemeral.
