mcp-ffmpeg-tools MCP Server

mcp-ffmpeg-tools is an open-source Python MCP (Model-Command Protocol) server that enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to perform media processing tasks by interpreting natural language instructions. It automatically generates and executes FFmpeg commands, validating results using ffprobe or screenshots.

To use mcp-ffmpeg-tools, install FFmpeg on your system, clone the repository, and set up the MCP server in your application. You can then send natural language commands to perform media processing tasks.
