Description

ffmpeg-mcp is a stdio MCP server that provides a standardized interface for common media operations using FFmpeg. Developed by egoist and sponsored by ChatWise, this implementation allows AI assistants to perform video and audio processing tasks like speeding up videos and extracting audio from video files. The server acts as a bridge between natural language commands and FFmpeg's command-line interface, making media manipulation accessible through simple tool calls without requiring users to understand complex FFmpeg syntax.

Installation 

npx -y ffmpeg-mcp
npm install ffmpeg-mcp
git clone https://github.com/egoist/ffmpeg-mcp
