FFmpeg as a service for AI agents. KinoPipe gives agents hosted video editing over remote MCP: 39 typed tools (trim, resize, crop, compress, convert, subtitles, watermark, GIF, scene and silence detection, local-file uploads) plus composable single-pass recipes with create_video_job. OAuth 2.1 sign-in, async jobs with get_job, signed download URLs. No shell commands: every request is validated before anything renders.

Free plan: 100 credits, no credit card. Docs: https://kinopipe.com/docs. Connect guide: https://kinopipe.com/connect

How to connect

How to connect KinoPipe to Claude

The server address to paste into Claude settings:

https://kinopipe--nicolas-coutureau.run.tools

Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
Go to Settings → Connectors.
Click Add custom connector.
Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

Authorization

After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

How to connect KinoPipe to ChatGPT

The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

https://kinopipe--nicolas-coutureau.run.tools

Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

Authorization

On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

How to connect KinoPipe to Cursor

The server address to paste into Cursor settings:

https://kinopipe--nicolas-coutureau.run.tools

Fastest: click Open in Cursor below and confirm the prompt.

Manually:

In Cursor open Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP and click Add new global MCP server.
Paste the JSON copied below into ~/.cursor/mcp.json (per project: .cursor/mcp.json in the repo root).
Save the file. The server appears in the MCP list; authorize it there if asked.

Authorization

If the service needs sign-in, an authorize button appears next to the server in the MCP list.

Server tool list (39)

Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

get_video_metadata	Read the duration, dimensions, rotation-corrected display size, frame rate, codecs and audio tracks of a media URL before choosing an edit. The finished job returns the metadata in result.input and as a downloadable JSON file. Runs no encode. The edit is asynchronous; call get_job with the returned jobId to retrieve the download URL.
convert_video_to_vertical	Turn a landscape video into a 9:16 vertical MP4 by padding it over a blurred (or black) background — the standard TikTok, Reels and Shorts look, with no cropping. The edit is asynchronous; call get_job with the returned jobId to retrieve the download URL.
change_video_speed	Speed a video up or slow it down between 0.25x and 4x with pitch-corrected audio. The edit is asynchronous; call get_job with the returned jobId to retrieve the download URL.
detect_scenes	List the timestamps where the picture cuts to a new scene, as JSON in result.analysis — use them to choose trim, split or clip boundaries before editing. The edit is asynchronous; call get_job with the returned jobId to retrieve the download URL.
detect_silence	List silent passages (start, end, duration) as JSON in result.analysis without editing anything — for chaptering, cut planning or deciding whether remove-silence is worth running. The edit is asynchronous; call get_job with the returned jobId to retrieve the download URL.
analyze_audio	Measure mean and peak volume, integrated loudness (LUFS), loudness range and true peak, as JSON in result.analysis — decide whether and how to normalize before editing. The edit is asynchronous; call get_job with the returned jobId to retrieve the download URL.
auto_orient_video	Fix a video that displays sideways or upside down: the rotation stored in metadata is baked into the pixels and the result plays upright everywhere. The edit is asynchronous; call get_job with the returned jobId to retrieve the download URL.
strip_video_metadata	Remove GPS location, device model, creation time and encoder tags from a video without re-encoding — a fast stream copy that rewrites only the container. The edit is asynchronous; call get_job with the returned jobId to retrieve the download URL.
create_audiogram	Turn audio into a shareable MP4 with an animated waveform — over a background image you supply or a solid dark canvas. The classic podcast and music share format. The edit is asynchronous; call get_job with the returned jobId to retrieve the download URL.
add_progress_bar	Overlay a thin animated progress bar that fills over the video duration — the TikTok-style retention cue. The edit is asynchronous; call get_job with the returned jobId to retrieve the download URL.

generate_audio_waveform	Draw the waveform of an audio file (or a video soundtrack) as a single image — transparent PNG by default, with configurable size and color. The edit is asynchronous; call get_job with the returned jobId to retrieve the download URL.
normalize_audio	Normalize loudness to platform targets: streaming (-14 LUFS, YouTube and Spotify), podcast (-16) or broadcast (-23). The edit is asynchronous; call get_job with the returned jobId to retrieve the download URL.
remove_silence_from_audio	Strip silent passages from a video or audio source and return a tightened MP3 or WAV. The edit is asynchronous; call get_job with the returned jobId to retrieve the download URL.

create_video_job	Queue a custom KinoPipe recipe containing bounded trim, resize, crop, thumbnail, subtitles, audio, composition or split operations. Prefer a focused tool when one matches the requested edit.
get_job	Read the current state of a KinoPipe video job. Poll until succeeded or failed. A succeeded job contains temporary downloadable output URLs.
create_upload	Create a signed upload slot so a LOCAL media file can be used as an input_url. byte_size must be the exact file size in bytes (macOS: stat -f%z file; Linux: stat -c%s file). Upload by running the returned command (or an equivalent multipart POST sending every field before the file), then pass media_url as the input_url of any editing tool within 24 hours.
