Uses the host's ffmpeg/ffprobe binaries to work on local video files: probing duration, dimensions, codecs and format via ffprobe JSON output, and extracting thumbnails, frames at a given rate, and audio tracks, plus trimming, transcoding between containers and resizing videos by building ffmpeg argument arrays.
This server does not currently have a deployable release on Glama. Follow the repository's setup instructions to install and configure it for your MCP client, including any required credentials and local dependencies.
Local video file tools as a CLI and a stdio MCP server in one bin. Probe a video for duration, dimensions and codecs; extract a thumbnail, frames or the audio track; trim, transcode and resize.
All work is built as ffmpeg/ffprobe argument arrays (execFile, never a shell string) behind an injectable executor, and probe results are parsed from ffprobe's JSON output — fields a file does not carry come back as null, never invented. This package bundles no ffmpeg: host runs use the host's binaries, and when they are absent the spawn error (ENOENT) is the tool error.
