Encoding DevOps MCP Server

🎬 Encoding DevOps MCP Server: AI-Powered Video Encoding Assistant

Ever been woken up at 3 AM by a failed encoding job? Say goodbye to those late-night troubleshooting sessions! This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server connects Anthropic's Claude directly to your encoding workflow, making video encoding issues a breeze to handle.

✨ What's Cool About This?

Smart Error Translation: Turns cryptic "moov atom not found" messages into plain English
Real-time Analysis: Connects directly to your encoding workflow and database
Human-Friendly Responses: Generates clear, actionable solutions for your team
Auto-Email Draft: Creates professional client communications with context
Always On Guard: Monitors your encoding jobs 24/7
Keeps You in Control: Suggests actions but lets you make the final call

🚀 Getting Started

You'll Need

Python 3.11 or higher
Claude Desktop
Your encoding workflow API credentials
OMDB API key (optional, for movie metadata)

Quick Setup

Install the package using UV:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
uv pip install encoding-devops

Set up your environment:

# Copy the example config
cp .env.example .env

# Add your API keys
nano .env

Register with Claude Desktop:

uv run mcp install ./src/encoding_devops/main.py

💡 How to Use It

# Start the MCP server
uv run mcp dev ./src/encoding_devops/main.py

# In Claude Desktop, you can now ask things like:
"What's wrong with job XYZ-123?"
"Draft an email about the failed encoding job"
"Check the encoding cluster status"

🔧 Under the Hood

The MCP server uses three main components to help you:

Resources: Email templates, error guides, and documentation
Tools: Job status checks, log analysis, and email drafting
Prompts: Instructions that help Claude understand encoding issues
