MCP Interface for Video Jungle – upload, search, generate and edit videos via Video Jungle API and custom MCP tools.
https://github.com/burningion/video-editing-mcpStop manually scrubbing through hours of footage to find the perfect clips. This MCP server bridges the gap between AI assistants and professional video editing by letting you search, analyze, and edit videos using natural language commands.
You've got terabytes of video content, but finding the right moments feels like searching for a needle in a haystack. Even worse, once you find those moments, you still need to manually cut, arrange, and export everything.
What if you could just tell your AI assistant: "Create a 30-second compilation of every time someone mentions 'optimization' in this 2-hour conference recording" and have it automatically generate the edit?
This server connects Claude (or any MCP-compatible AI) to Video Jungle's video editing API, giving you:
AI-Powered Content Search: Upload videos and search them using natural language. The system analyzes both audio and visual content, so you can find moments by what's being said or what's happening on screen.
Automated Edit Generation: Generate complete video edits from text prompts. Want all the funny moments? Every product demo? All the times someone said a specific phrase? Just ask.
Professional Integration: Export directly to DaVinci Resolve with OpenTimelineIO compatibility, so your AI-generated rough cuts integrate seamlessly into your existing workflow.
Local Asset Access: Search your macOS Photos app for specific video content using Apple's built-in tagging system.
Content Creators: "Find all the times I mentioned 'subscribe' in my last 10 videos and create a compilation." Perfect for creating highlight reels or extracting clips for social media.
Educators: "Pull out every code example from this programming tutorial series." Instantly create focused study materials from longer-form content.
Podcasters: "Create video clips of the funniest moments from this episode." Turn audio content into shareable video snippets.
Marketing Teams: "Find every customer testimonial mention in our conference footage." Extract social proof content from event recordings.
Technical Documentation: "Show me every time the API was demonstrated in our webinar series." Create focused technical content from broader presentations.
The server provides eight specialized tools that work together:
LOAD_PHOTOS_DB=1)You'll need a Video Jungle API key from their settings page. Then install via Smithery:
npx -y @smithery/cli install video-editor-mcp --client claude
Or configure manually in your Claude Desktop config:
"mcpServers": {
"video-editor-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["video-editor-mcp", "YOUR_API_KEY"]
}
}
Video content is exploding, but our tools for working with it haven't kept pace. This MCP server finally gives you the ability to treat video content like searchable, editable data rather than opaque media files.
Instead of spending hours manually scrubbing through footage, you can focus on the creative decisions that actually matter. The AI handles the tedious work of finding and cutting clips – you handle the storytelling.
The 165 stars and growing adoption show this isn't just a neat demo – it's solving real problems for real creators and developers who work with video content daily.
