Mcp Server
Let coding agents create, monitor, and download video transcodes through the FFmpeg Micro API without hand-rolling REST calls.
Overview
com.ffmpeg-micro/mcp-server is a MCP server for the Build phase that wraps the FFmpeg Micro transcoding API so agents can create, monitor, and download transcodes.
What is this MCP server?
- MCP tools for FFmpeg Micro: create transcodes, monitor jobs, download outputs
- Hosted streamable-http remote at https://mcp.ffmpeg-micro.com
- npm package @ffmpeg-micro/mcp-server v0.3.1 with stdio transport
- Requires FFMPEG_MICRO_API_KEY from the FFmpeg Micro dashboard
- Open-source repo javidjamae/ffmpeg-micro-mcp on GitHub
- Package and server version 0.3.1
- Two transports: streamable-http remote and npm stdio
- One required secret env var: FFMPEG_MICRO_API_KEY
What problem does it solve?
Agents can reason about video tasks but lack a safe, keyed path to run cloud transcodes and track job completion.
Who is it for?
Solo builders shipping content features, course platforms, or social pipelines who want agent-driven transcoding against a hosted API.
Skip if: Projects that require only local ffmpeg CLI with no API key or teams avoiding third-party media processing.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can drive FFmpeg Micro jobs end-to-end from MCP tools and pull finished media when jobs succeed.
- Transcode jobs created and tracked via MCP
- Downloadable transcoded outputs when jobs complete
- Repeatable agent workflow for format changes and derivatives

How it compares
API-backed MCP integration for video jobs, not a design or analytics skill.
