Remote URL or a command on your machine? How the two installs differ
Run on PlugMCP
A new server you create. It is not this listing's official endpoint. Use the publisher install when you want their URL and their credentials.
LaunchFrom the publisher
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides video and audio manipulation tools powered by FFmpeg. This server enables AI assistants to perform media operations like cutting videos, converting formats, removing silence, and more.
FFmpeg video/audio tools: cut, convert, concat, remove silence, and raw commands.
ffmpeg-staticnpm install -g ffmpeg-mcp-server
git clone https://github.com/PedroMarianoAlmeida/ffmpeg-mcp
cd ffmpeg-mcp
npm install
npm run build
Every input and output must be inside FFMPEG_MCP_WORKSPACE. If it is unset, the server's current working directory is used. The server resolves symlinks before reading and rejects URL schemes, traversal outside the workspace, and symlink outputs. Create output directories before running a tool.
ffmpeg_raw is deliberately restricted. It accepts local -i inputs, one final local output path, and a small set of codec and timing options. It does not accept filters, forced formats, or arbitrary FFmpeg flags because those options can load extra files or use network protocols.
For example, set a dedicated media directory in your MCP configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ffmpeg": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["ffmpeg-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"FFMPEG_MCP_WORKSPACE": "/absolute/path/to/media-workspace"
}
}
}
}
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ffmpeg": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["ffmpeg-mcp-server"]
}
}
}
Add to your Claude Code MCP settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ffmpeg": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["ffmpeg-mcp-server"]
}
}
}
"Cut the first 30 seconds from video.mp4"
→ Uses cut_video tool
"Convert video.mov to mp4"
"Extract audio from video.mp4 as mp3"
→ Uses convert tool
"Remove silent parts from my podcast recording"
→ Uses remove_silence tool (detects silence > 2s at -30dB by default)
"Convert input.mp4 to output.mp4 using libx264"
→ Uses ffmpeg_raw with local paths and supported codec options

FAQ
Copy the stdio config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.
No required environment variable is listed on this record.
Ffmpeg runs locally over stdio.
