Best Kdenlive MCP Servers
Kdenlive is a free and open-source video editing software for Linux, Windows, and macOS that provides professional-grade video editing capabilities with a user-friendly interface.
Why this server?
Creates editable Kdenlive project files containing the source video and generated subtitle track.
AlicenseBqualityAmaintenanceThis MCP server enables local-first video subtitle processing on Windows, offering tools for transcription, subtitle formatting, SRT/ASS export, FFmpeg rendering, and Kdenlive project creation without cloud APIs.9MITWhy this server?
Provides tools for AI-driven video editing workflows via Kdenlive, including project management, timeline editing, filters, transitions, guides, and export.
AlicenseBqualityBmaintenanceEnables AI models to perform complex video editing tasks on Kdenlive projects through 36 tools for project management, timeline editing, effects, transitions, and export.735MITWhy this server?
Allows exporting the project timeline as a Kdenlive project and importing hand-made Kdenlive edits back as the project's timeline.
Why this server?
Provides integration with a local Kdenlive/MLT installation for local-first video editing, including versioned JSON project management, revision-checked timeline edits, deterministic MLT compilation, and export of editable Kdenlive 26.04.x projects.
AlicenseNot gradedqualityAmaintenanceEnables local-first video editing through the Model Context Protocol by maintaining versioned JSON projects, applying revision-checked timeline edits, compiling deterministic MLT, queuing renders, generating previews, and verifying outputs with local Kdenlive/MLT and FFmpeg tools.Apache 2.0Why this server?
Provides scripted video editing with Kdenlive, allowing creation of Kdenlive project files, assembly of stringout timelines from footage, verification of rendered frames against sources, audio checks, and safe rendering of projects.
AlicenseNot gradedqualityCmaintenanceEnables AI agents to programmatically drive Kdenlive video editing workflows, including media probing, timeline assembly, render verification, and audio checks.MITWhy this server?
Allows exporting the project as a native Kdenlive project and syncing edits (cuts, titles, and captions) made in Kdenlive back into the explica project.
AlicenseNot gradedqualityBmaintenanceEnables agents to drive a local explanatory-video lab over stdio: inspecting and patching declarative scenes and a multilayer timeline (clips, titles, captions, voice, music), querying media and frames, rendering previews, running recoverable jobs, and exporting bundles. It also handles Kdenlive round-trip sync plus checkpoints, undo and restore, all offline with JSON responses.MITWhy this server?
Provides a headless video editor that uses Kdenlive for review, with a portable JSON project as source of truth and compilable MLT XML.
AlicenseNot gradedqualityAmaintenanceProvides a headless video editing workflow using portable JSON projects and Kdenlive for review, enabling automated video rendering and project management.12Apache 2.0Why this server?
Core target of the server: provides tools for creating, inspecting, validating and editing Kdenlive project files, including guides, media import/relinking, timeline manipulation (append, split, ripple), effects and compositions with keyframed parameters, subtitle authoring, and async rendering to MP4, WebM, ProRes MOV and WAV. A dynamic catalog exposes the effects, producers and transitions installed with the host Kdenlive/MLT installation, and editor-only operations (multi-sequence editing, multicam, proxies, tracking, layouts, etc.) are reachable through the shared ui-control skill.
AlicenseNot gradedqualityAmaintenanceEnables agents to create, inspect and edit Kdenlive project files, import and relink media, query installed MLT effects/transitions, author subtitles, and run asynchronous MLT renders, plus drive the live Kdenlive editor UI. Edits always write new files, and rendering is job-based with verification of the output.60 PyPI2MITWhy this server?
Provides editing capabilities for Kdenlive projects, including creating and managing video/audio tracks, adding and trimming clips, titles, transitions, captions, effects with keyframes, timeline visualization, and exporting or rendering Kdenlive/MLT projects.
AlicenseNot gradedqualityCmaintenanceEnables automated, transactional video editing for Kdenlive, providing tools for timeline manipulation, effects, graphics, captions, visualization, and project export through a local MCP server and scriptable CLI.MIT
