Manipulates video files using FFmpeg to resize videos and extract audio in various formats.
Connect FFmpeg Video Processor to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Manipulates video files using FFmpeg to resize videos and extract audio in various formats. The ffmpeg video processor mcp server is what makes that connection.
A Node.js server that uses FFmpeg to manipulate video files. This server provides APIs to:
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
macOS — ~/.config/claude-desktop/config.json or ~/Library/Application Support/Claude Desktop/config.jsonWindows — %APPDATA%\Claude Desktop\config.jsonLinux — ~/.config/claude-desktop/config.jsonBefore running this application, you need to have the following installed: 1. Node.js (v14 or higher) 2. FFmpeg - This is required for video processing
The server ships on npm as @smithery/cli, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
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 Video Processor's toolset — macOS, Windows, Linux — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by bitscorp-mcp; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
