  "description": "Shotstack's MCP server exposes its cloud video editing API to agents: create renders from JSON timelines, save reusable templates, render merge-field variants, inspect media, and poll render status. For filmmaker-agents it is the programmable render farm lane: fast campaign variants, data-driven video, and cloud assembly jobs that should not depend on a local NLE being open.",

Local stdio uses SHOTSTACK_API_KEY; the hosted endpoint at https://mcp.shotstack.io/ responds as an OAuth-protected MCP resource for web clients. No public source repo was advertised in npm metadata, so verify behavior against package docs and the live endpoint rather than GitHub stars."
