Run FFmpeg and FFprobe in the cloud: convert, compress, trim and analyze video and audio. Connect the official FFmpeg API MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor through gate — one gateway URL, no config files, security-checked.
Free to start · No credit card · No hosting needed
Pick your client. Copy, paste, done — or let gate handle sign-ins and policies for you.
claude mcp add --transport http ffmpeg-api https://mcp.ffmpeg-api.com/mcpRun in your terminal, then restart Claude Code. The client will open the vendor's sign-in the first time you use it.

Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“What can FFmpeg API do for me?”
“Show me the tools FFmpeg API exposes.”
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how FFmpeg API holds up.
Operated by FFmpeg API (ffmpeg-api.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
You grant access from your own FFmpeg API account and can revoke it there at any time. gate never sees your password.
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
If FFmpeg API adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
FFmpeg API's server requires OAuth, so it can't be scanned anonymously — connect it in gate and the same scan runs automatically before it goes live.
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Choose FFmpeg API in the gate directory. Sign in to your FFmpeg API account to grant access.
FFmpeg API's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

https://mcp.ffmpeg-api.com/mcpYes — FFmpeg API operates its own remote MCP server at mcp.ffmpeg-api.com. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick FFmpeg API in the directory. You sign in to FFmpeg API via OAuth to grant access. From then on, FFmpeg API's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
No. FFmpeg API runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect FFmpeg API in minutes. No credit card required.
Every server below works through the same gateway URL — connect once, add tools anytime.
