Summary
The edit you can describe but not spell in flags.
FFmpeg's power was never the problem; remembering its syntax is. Breaking it into named steps lets the assistant chain trim, scale, overlay and export without you touching a command line.
What it is
An MCP server that puts FFmpeg behind a set of small, single-purpose tools. Each one is a validated Python function, so the model composes an edit out of steps rather than assembling one long command line.
What you get
- A file probed for streams, codecs and duration
- Sub-clips cut by start time and duration
- Crops to a region, and scaling to the usual HD, 2k and 4k targets with aspect preserved
- Frames saved as images, evenly, by interval or one per second
- Audio pulled out to a .wav file
- An image overlaid on video, clips concatenated with or without a transition, and a segment turned into an optimised GIF
Requirements
Python 3.12 or newer, and FFmpeg available on the machine since every tool is a wrapper around it. Paths are checked for existence, emptiness and validity before FFmpeg runs.
