Ffmpeg Mcp

pedromarianoalmeida/ffmpeg-mcp

Wraps FFmpeg in an MCP interface so Claude can manipulate video and audio files directly. You get six tools: cut_video for trimming segments by timestamp, convert for format changes between mp4/mp3/wav/mov, concat_videos for stitching files together, remove_silence that auto-detects quiet sections above 2 seconds at negative 30dB, image_to_video for static frame conversion, and ffmpeg_raw for passing through arbitrary commands when you need watermarks or rotation. Ships with ffmpeg-static bundled, so no system dependencies. Install globally via npm and point Claude Desktop at it with npx. Useful when you're already working with media files in a conversation and want to skip the manual command line round trip.
