About MCP Media Processing Server

MCP Media Processing Server is a Node.js MCP server for video and image manipulation, covering conversion, compression, trimming, resizing and effects. It requires FFmpeg and ImageMagick to be installed on the host system.

Key features

  1. 01Arbitrary FFmpeg commands with custom options
  2. 02Video format conversion and compression
  3. 03Video trimming by start time and duration
  4. 04Image format conversion, resizing and rotation
  5. 05Image watermarking and visual effects

Use cases

  1. 01Having an AI assistant convert videos to a target format
  2. 02Compressing videos or PNG images to reduce file size
  3. 03Adding watermarks or applying filters to images

MCP support

This is an MCP server that exposes media tools such as execute-ffmpeg, convert-video, compress-image and resize-image to MCP clients.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
"mcpServers": {
"media-processor": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-media-processor"
]
}
}
}
Run commandnpx -y mcp-media-processor

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
