Watch Skill in Continue

Status: doc-verified ☑ — config matches the official Continue 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

Configure

Continue reads MCP servers from .continue/mcpServers/ in the workspace — one JSON file per server. Create .continue/mcpServers/watch-skill.json:

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

The format is the same one Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Cline use, so an existing block can be copied across unchanged.

Smoke test (3 steps)

1. In the chat, ask: "Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqz-KE-bpKQ and tell me what happens at 0:10."
2. Approve the watch_video call.
3. Follow up: "what color is the bird?" — should call ask_video and answer from the index without re-processing.

Notes

• MCP tools are available in agent mode; chat and edit modes will not call them.
• Keep the file in the repository to share the setup with a team, or put it in the global ~/.continue/ directory for every workspace.
