Video Processing with Cursor

Connect FFmpeg Micro to Cursor via MCP and process videos without leaving your editor. Ask Cursor's AI to transcode, crop, add overlays, or batch-convert files while you keep coding.

Setup

Add the MCP server to your project's .mcp.json in the project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ffmpeg-micro": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.ffmpeg-micro.com"
    }
  }
}

Cursor will detect the MCP server automatically. On first use, it opens a browser window for OAuth sign-in with your FFmpeg Micro account.

Example prompts

  • “Transcode this demo video to WebM so I can embed it in my docs site”
  • “Crop the tutorial recording to 16:9 and compress it under 10MB”
  • “Add a 'DRAFT' watermark to this preview video”
  • “Check the status of my last transcode job”

Great for developer workflows

When you're building an app that involves video, you often need to test transcoding, generate sample outputs, or process assets. With FFmpeg Micro in Cursor, you can do all of that from the same window where you write code — no context switching to a terminal or dashboard.

The MCP server accepts public HTTPS URLs directly, so you can point it at test videos, CDN assets, or storage bucket URLs without uploading anything manually.
