Overview

What is MCP Video App?

The MCP Video App is a local web application that allows users to upload and process videos using FFmpeg. It runs on Node.js and provides a browser-based interface for selecting and processing video files. This server is intended for developers or users who need a simple video processing tool on their own machine.

To use it, follow the setup steps: install Node.js (v14+) and FFmpeg, create the project folder, run npm init -y, install dependencies (express, cors, multer, morgan, body-parser), create the server.js and frontend files (from the provided artifacts), create uploads/ and processed/ directories, then start the server with node server.js. Access the app in a browser at http://localhost:3000.
