Watch Skill in Kimi Code CLI

Status: doc-verified ☑ — config matches Moonshot's official Kimi Code CLI 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.

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

User level: ~/.kimi-code/mcp.json (shared across projects). Project level: .kimi-code/mcp.json in the repo (wins on name conflicts). The format is the common mcpServers shape:

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

Or skip the JSON and use the CLI/TUI: kimi mcp add from the shell, or /mcp-config inside a session.

Smoke test (3 steps)

1. kimi, then: "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, no re-processing.

Notes

• Entries with command are stdio servers; entries with url are HTTP. For a remote setup, watch-skill serve --http and a url entry pointing at http://<host>:8747/mcp also works.
