Overview

What is FFmpeg-MCP?

An MCP server that wraps FFmpeg command-line tools to enable local video search, trimming, stitching, playback, and other operations through natural language dialogue with an AI assistant. It is intended for users who want to manipulate video files on their Mac via an MCP client like Cline.

How to use FFmpeg-MCP?

Clone the repository, run uv sync in the project directory, then configure your MCP client with the stdio transport. The client command is uv --directory /path/to/ffmpeg-mcp run ffmpeg-mcp. Tools are invoked automatically by the AI assistant when it processes natural language requests.
