Observe Skills

Agent skills that let any AI coding agent investigate and manage your Observe data.

Observe is an observability platform for logs, metrics, and traces. These skills teach your AI coding agent how to work with it — investigating incidents, querying telemetry, onboarding data, building visualizations, and more.

Install

Claude Code

# Add this marketplace
claude plugin marketplace add observeinc/skills

# Install the plugin
claude plugin install observe@observe

The plugin bundles the Observe MCP server, which needs your Observe base URL (e.g. 101.observeinc.com).

Cortex Code

# Run from the repo directory with your Observe base URL
OBSERVE_BASE_URL=<your-base-url> cortex

On first run, Cortex will prompt you to complete OAuth in your browser to connect the Observe MCP server. The MCP server and skills are configured automatically from the .cortex-plugin directory.

Codex

Install the skills, then add the Observe MCP server as a separate step:

# Install the skills
npx skills add observeinc/skills

# Add the Observe MCP server — replace <your-base-url> with your Observe host (e.g. 101.observeinc.com)
codex mcp add observe --url https://<your-base-url>/v1/ai/mcp

The server is stored in your global ~/.codex/config.toml; remove it later with codex mcp remove observe.

Other agents

# Install all skills without prompts
npx skills add observeinc/skills --all

# Or choose skills interactively
npx skills add observeinc/skills

# Or install a specific skill
npx skills add observeinc/skills -s <skill-name>
