FFmpeg Micro MCP - Transcode videos in the cloud via n8n or Make, no server setup. Code: https://github.com/javidjamae/ffmpeg-micro-mcp/
Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. FFmpeg Micro MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. FFmpeg Micro MCP - Transcode videos in the cloud via n8n or Make, no server setup. Code: https://github.com/javidjamae/ffmpeg-micro-mcp/.
The request_upload_url + confirm_upload pair lets an MCP host upload a local file to the FFmpeg Micro storage bucket without dealing with raw API keys or gs:// URLs:
The server publishes 4 tools. What each one is for:
Cursor — WindsurfVerify — After the Version Packages PR is merged and the workflow is green:Rules — The Rules tool exposed by this serverTroubleshooting — The Troubleshooting tool exposed by this serverConfiguration is passed through the environment: FFMPEG_MICRO_API_KEY, FFMPEG_MICRO_API_URL, MCP_PRIVATE_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. FFmpeg Micro's toolset — Cursor, Verify, Rules and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
