ffpipe MCP server

Which MCP servers are ffpipe's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry namedev.ffpipe/ffpipeverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under ffpipe.dev. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-26 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 50 ms.

Should an agent connect itNot proven either way yet
  • Its tools do every use case we checked: inspect a media file's codecs, duration and dimensions; extract still frames from a video as JPEG, WebP or PNG.
  • Checked on 2 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Once connected

  • For "inspect a media file's codecs, duration and dimensions", the likely first call is probe_media.
  • For "extract still frames from a video as JPEG, WebP or PNG", the likely first call is extract_frames.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

What an agent can do with it

  • not sure · convert a video to fit within 1920x1080
  • can do · inspect a media file's codecs, duration and dimensions
  • can do · extract still frames from a video as JPEG, WebP or PNG

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

  • convert_video

    Queue an asynchronous video conversion: fetches sourceUrl (or, with upload: true, waits for you to PUT the bytes to the returned uploadUrl), converts to MP4 scaled to fit maxWidth x maxHeight (defaults 1920x1080, cap 4096). Returns {…

  • probe_media

    Queue an asynchronous media inspection: fetches sourceUrl (or, with upload: true, waits for you to PUT the bytes to the returned uploadUrl) and returns its technical metadata as a downloadable file. In the default json format the result…

  • extract_frames

    Queue an asynchronous frame extraction - the tool to reach for when you need to SEE a video: fetches sourceUrl (or, with upload: true, waits for you to PUT the bytes to the returned uploadUrl) and extracts still frames as jpeg, webp or…

  • get_job_status

    Free status lookup for a job accepted by convert_video / probe_media / extract_frames. Requires the job's ownership token - the `t` query parameter of the statusUrl returned at acceptance (store the whole statusUrl; it cannot be…

  • get_balance

    Free. Reports the credit balance of the account this client is connected to, plus what one credit is worth, what each operation costs in credits, the monthly free allowance and whether a card is on file to unlock it. Takes no input: it…

  • leave_feedback

    Tell us what you needed. If ffpipe does not offer the operation you came for - another output format, extracting a frame, a different transformation entirely - say so here: these requests are aggregated and they drive directly what gets…

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ffpipe": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://ffpipe.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http ffpipe https://ffpipe.dev/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://ffpipe.dev/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
