### Description (declared)

# vfx-mcp 🎬

A powerful video editing MCP (Model Context Protocol) server built with FastMCP and ffmpeg-python. This server allows LLMs to perform video editing operations through a standardized interface, enabling AI-powered video manipulation and processing workflows.

## Features

### Core Video Operations
- **Trimming & Cutting**: Extract specific segments from videos
- **Concatenation**: Join multiple videos together
- **Format Conversion**: Transcode between different video formats
- **Resolution & Quality**: Resize, change bitrate, adjust quality
- **Audio Processing**: Extract, replace, or mix audio tracks
- **Effects & Filters**: Apply ffmpeg filters and effects
- **Analysis**: Get video metadata, generate thumbnails
- **Advanced Operations**: Speed changes, reverse playback, loops

### MCP Capabilities
- **Tools**: Execute video editing operations
- **Resources**: Access and manage video files
- **Context**: Progress reporting for long operations
- **Streaming**: Support for both file-based and streaming workflows

## Installation

### Using uv (Recommended)

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/conneroisu/vfx-mcp.git
cd vfx-mcp

## Quick Start

### Basic Usage

```python
# Connect to the VFX MCP server
from fastmcp import Client

async with Client("python main.py") as client:
    # Trim a video
    result = await client.call_tool("trim_video", {
        "input_path": "input.mp4",
        "output_path": "trimmed.mp4",
        "start_time": 10.0,
        "duration": 30.0
    })
    
    # Get video information
    info = await client.call_tool("get_video_info", {
        "video_path": "input.mp4"
 …
