Video Processing with Claude Desktop
Connect FFmpeg Micro to Claude Desktop via MCP and process videos from a chat interface. No terminal, no code — just describe what you want and Claude takes care of the rest.
Setup
Open Claude Desktop settings, go to the MCP Servers section, and add a new server:
- Name: FFmpeg Micro
- Type: HTTP
- URL:
https://mcp.ffmpeg-micro.com
When you first use a video tool, Claude Desktop will open a browser window for you to sign in with your FFmpeg Micro account. The token is cached after the first approval.
Example prompts
- “Take this video and crop it to a 9:16 vertical format for Instagram Reels”
- “Add captions to this interview video”
- “Convert this MOV file to MP4 at 1080p”
- “Show me all my transcode jobs from today”
Who is this for?
Claude Desktop is ideal for non-technical users who want video processing power without learning FFmpeg commands or writing code. Content creators, marketers, and social media managers can process videos through a familiar chat interface.
For developers who prefer the terminal, check out the Claude Code integration instead.
