FAQ from Shaka Packager MCP Server

What is the current status of this server?

The project is in early alpha stage and is highly experimental. It is not recommended for production use.

What are the prerequisites?

Python 3.10 or higher and Shaka Packager installed and available in your PATH. An MCP-compatible client like Claude Desktop is also required.

How does file path handling work?

The server automatically translates paths between Docker and host environments using the VIDEO_PATH and DOCKER_PATH environment variables. Manual configuration may be needed for custom setups.

What are the known limitations?

You may encounter inconsistent behavior. Advanced features (packaging, conversion, etc.) are still under active development, and path translation may require manual configuration. Expect frequent breaking changes and potential instability.

How do I get help?

Check the README troubleshooting section, review the Shaka Packager documentation, use the get_shaka_documentation tool within Claude, or open an issue on GitHub.
