Video Processing with VS Code

Connect FFmpeg Micro to VS Code through GitHub Copilot's MCP support. Process videos from the Copilot chat panel without switching to a terminal or browser.

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"
    }
  }
}

VS Code with GitHub Copilot reads MCP server configuration from your project. On first use, it opens a browser for OAuth sign-in with your FFmpeg Micro account.

Example prompts

  • “Transcode this video to MP4 at 720p for the marketing site”
  • “Crop the product demo to a vertical format for mobile”
  • “Add the company logo as a watermark to this video”
  • “What's the status of my last transcode job?”

Works with your existing setup

If you already use GitHub Copilot in VS Code, adding FFmpeg Micro is just a config file. Copilot's agent mode picks up the MCP tools automatically, so you can mix video processing requests with your normal coding questions.

The same .mcp.json file works across VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf, so your whole team can use the same config regardless of their editor.
