Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "watch-cli": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

        "GROQ_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "WATCH_AUDIO_MODE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add watch-cli --env KYMA_API_KEY=your-value --env GROQ_API_KEY=your-value --env WATCH_AUDIO_MODE=your-value -- npx -y @sonpiaz/watch-cli-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{

      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

        "WATCH_AUDIO_MODE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "watch-cli": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@sonpiaz/watch-cli-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "KYMA_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "GROQ_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "WATCH_AUDIO_MODE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

KYMA_API_KEY secret env
Kyma API key (default backend). Get one at https://kymaapi.com — first $0.50 free, then pay-per-use (~$0.05 per 1-hour video). Optional if WATCH_AUDIO_MODE=local (whisper.cpp) or GROQ_API_KEY is set…
GROQ_API_KEY secret env
Groq API key for direct BYOK transcription (alternative to Kyma). Set this instead of KYMA_API_KEY if you prefer direct provider.
WATCH_AUDIO_MODE env
Backend routing override. Values: kyma (default), byok (use GROQ_API_KEY), local (whisper.cpp on $PATH, fully offline).

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Watch Cli safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: KYMA_API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.3.1) reached the registry 6 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

@sonpiaz/watch-cli-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) stdio server that exposes watch-cli as a callable tool.

Watch any social video → get an architecture diagram, working component, runnable notebook, or step-by-step cheat sheet — automatically.

A single MCP server reaches every MCP-capable agent runtime — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, hermes-agent, Cline, Continue.dev, Windsurf, Zed, Codex, Kiro, VS Code Copilot — without per-IDE plugin work. This package wraps watch-cli so any of them can call it through one channel.

Prerequisites

Node.js >= 18.
The watch CLI installed and on PATH. Install with:

  curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sonpiaz/watch-cli/main/install.sh | bash

The MCP server shells out to watch; it does not bundle the CLI.

Install

npm install -g @sonpiaz/watch-cli-mcp

Or run on demand via npx:

npx -y @sonpiaz/watch-cli-mcp

The binary is watch-cli-mcp. It reads JSON-RPC on stdin, writes JSON-RPC on stdout, and logs to stderr.

Tool

One tool is registered: watch.

Input schema:

"type": "object", "properties": { "url": { "type": "string", "format": "uri", "description": "A social video URL. Supported: YouTube, X / Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, Vimeo, Reddit, Facebook." }, "frames": { "type": "integer", "minimum": 1, "maximum": 64, "description": "Number of evenly-spaced frames to extract. Default 8." } }, "required": ["url"], "additionalProperties": false }

Output: the v1 JSON object from docs/output-schema.md, passed through verbatim. Read the schema for the field reference.

Error mapping

CLI exit	MCP response
`0`	Tool result with the v1 JSON as `content[0].text`.
`2`	`InternalError`, message includes `tag=missing-dep:` .
`3` `download-auth` / `download-region`	`InvalidParams`, message includes the tag — caller can recover with cookies or a different URL.
`3` `download-network` / `download-other`	`InternalError`, message includes the tag.
`4` (partial success)	Tool result with `isError: false`. Frames populated, transcript `null`, `exit_code: 4` in the JSON payload. Caller branches on `obj.exit_code === 4`.
`64`	`InvalidParams`, message includes `tag=usage-error`.
`1` / other	`InternalError`, message includes the CLI stderr tail (≤ 1 KB).

Tags always ride in the MCP error message field so callers can grep for the same tag=... token they would see in CLI stderr.

Client configuration

Claude Desktop

Config path:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Merge into the existing mcpServers object:

"mcpServers": { "watch-cli": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@sonpiaz/watch-cli-mcp"] } } }

Restart Claude Desktop after editing.

Cursor

Config path: .cursor/mcp.json (project-scoped) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (user-global). Same mcpServers object shape as Claude Desktop:

"mcpServers": { "watch-cli": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@sonpiaz/watch-cli-mcp"] } } }

hermes-agent

Config path: optional-skills/mcp.json inside the hermes-agent install, or ~/.hermes-agent/mcp.json user-global. Same mcpServers shape as above.

Other MCP clients

Any MCP-capable agent that accepts an npx command will work with the snippet above. Substitute the client's config path; the command / args pair is portable.
