Local-first FFmpeg tools, Video Receipts, quality gates, Hyperframes, and Shorts/Reels repurposing — for Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP client. Free, Apache-2.0. Formerly mcp-video.
Who it is for: people who need agent-repeatable local video edits with a receipt a human can approve — not a hosted editor.
What you get: CLI + MCP tools that turn a local interview or podcast into captioned vertical clips with a Video Receipt you can re-run.
- Repurposing with receipts — one recording → captioned Shorts/Reels/TikTok packages with manifests and review artifacts
- Podcast and interview cuts — strongest segment, audio normalize, chapters, export
- Agent-driven media in CI — repeatable edits from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex-style clients, or scripts
