Description
This skill should be used when the user asks about their Amazon Alexa / Echo devices or the smart home Alexa controls — thermostats (temperature, heat/cool setpoints, mode, vacation or away mode), lights (on/off, brightness, colour), plugs, door locks, garage doors, fan mode, robot vacuums, scenes, making Alexa speak or announce, running a routine, reminders, alarms and timers, Do Not Disturb, the equalizer, Bluetooth, Fire TV, or the Alexa shopping / to-do list. Triggers on phrases like "list my Alexa devices", "what's the thermostat set to", "set the heat to 70", "turn on vacation mode on the thermostats", "we're away next week", "turn off the porch light", "make the lamp warm white", "lock the front door", "open the garage", "set the fan to circulate", "remind me at 6 to call mom", "set a 10 minute timer", "cancel my alarm", "turn on Do Not Disturb", "announce on the Echo", "run my good night routine", "add milk to the shopping list", "check off eggs".
Usage Guidance
Install only with a trusted Alexa MCP/server and Amazon session, because the connected tools can affect real household devices. Review each confirmation preview carefully, especially for routines, announcements, door locks, garage doors, timers, reminders, and list changes.
Capability Assessment
ℹ Credentials
The skill can direct tools that read and control household devices and use an Amazon login flow, but those capabilities are expected for Alexa smart-home management and are disclosed.
✓ Install Mechanism
The inspected artifact is a single Markdown SKILL.md with no executable scripts, dependencies, remote payload retrieval, or install-time behavior.
✓ Instruction Scope
Instructions are scoped to Alexa-prefixed tools, include name resolution before action, require confirmation tokens for writes, and explicitly warn before unlocks or garage-door opens.
ℹ Persistence & Privilege
No system persistence or privilege escalation is present in the artifact; the only persistent effects are purpose-aligned user actions such as reminders, lists, device settings, and saved vacation-mode thermostat settings.
✓ Purpose & Capability
The skill's purpose is to help users manage Amazon Alexa, Echo, Fire TV, lists, reminders, and smart-home devices; the described capabilities match that purpose, including high-impact actions like locks and garage doors.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install alexa-mcp
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /alexa-mcp
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
