What it does

Wraps the FFmpeg CLI as MCP tools for finding, probing, cutting, merging, compositing, and resizing local video files. The workhorse for agent-side post tasks on generated clips — no cloud upload, no credits.

Field notes

134 stars, pushed May 2026 — the best-maintained ffmpeg MCP (egoist/ffmpeg-mcp is dormant since Mar 2025). Caveat: README states macOS only. Cross-platform lighter alternatives: kevinwatt/ffmpeg-mcp-lite and KyaniteLabs/mcp-video (guardrailed, active Jun 2026).
