Overview

What is mcp-ffmpeg?

mcp-ffmpeg is a Node.js server that uses FFmpeg to manipulate video files. It provides APIs to resize videos to different resolutions (360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p) and extract audio in MP3, AAC, WAV, and OGG formats. This server is designed for users who want to process videos through an MCP-compatible client, such as Claude Desktop.

How to use mcp-ffmpeg?

Install Node.js (v14+) and FFmpeg on your system. Clone the repository, run npm install, then start the server with npm start. Alternatively, run directly with npx /path/to/mcp-ffmpeg. For integration with Claude Desktop, add the server to your Claude Desktop config file under mcpServers using the npx command. Once configured, use natural language prompts like "resize the video at /path/to/video.mp4 to 720p resolution".
