Video Tools MCP

An MCP server that gives Claude the ability to process videos: transcribe with Whisper, cut reels with FFmpeg, and manage video files.

Tools

Tool Description
vt_transcribe Transcribe video audio using OpenAI Whisper, saves timestamped .md
vt_cut_reel Cut a segment from a video using FFmpeg (fast seek + re-encode or stream copy)
vt_rename Rename video + transcript following a configurable naming convention
vt_info Get video metadata (duration, resolution, codec, fps, size)
vt_list List all videos in the working directory with transcript/cut status

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+
  • FFmpeg installed and on PATH (or set FFMPEG_PATH env var)
  • Claude Desktop or Claude Code

Quick Start

cd video-tools-mcp
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate    # Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

      }
    }
  }
}

Workflow

  1. Transcribevt_transcribe generates a timestamped .md alongside the video
  2. Analyze — Claude reads the transcript, identifies key segments
  3. Cutvt_cut_reel extracts each segment as a separate file
  4. Organizevt_rename applies consistent naming conventions
