YOLO-FFMPEG-MCP 🎬

AI-Powered Video Processing Server with Hierarchical Multi-Agent Intelligence

A comprehensive MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that transforms video processing through intelligent automation, cost-effective analysis, and professional-grade quality assurance.

🌟 What Makes This Special

Evolution Story: Started as FFMPEG wrapping for natural language music video creation, evolved into a sophisticated multi-agent video processing intelligence system.

Claude Code Integration: Deep developer-LLM integration where Claude Code can extend functionality in real-time while end users interact through Claude Desktop with the MCP server.

🎯 Quick Start

FastTrack Video Analysis

# Direct analysis with CLI
./tools/ft testdata/

# Python integration
python3 -c "
from src.haiku_subagent import HaikuSubagent
from pathlib import Path
import asyncio

async def analyze():
    haiku = HaikuSubagent(fallback_enabled=True)
    analysis = await haiku.analyze_video_files([Path('video.mp4')])
    print(f'Strategy: {analysis.recommended_strategy.value}')
    print(f'Confidence: {analysis.confidence:.2f}')

asyncio.run(analyze())
"
