Transcodely MCP server

Transcodely MCP Server

A video pipeline for AI agents, over the Model Context Protocol — with nothing on it that can delete your work.

Hand your agent a video URL and it comes back a playable link: transcoded into an ABR ladder, hosted, captioned if you ask. Then let it read back what it actually produced, what it cost, and why an upload did not become a job. No delete, no cancel, no key material. Connect with one OAuth click — no API key to create or paste.

• Server URL (streamable HTTP): https://mcp.transcodely.com/mcp
• Product page: https://www.transcodely.com/mcp
• Connect guide: https://www.transcodely.com/docs/guides/mcp
• Registry identifier: com.transcodely/mcp

This is the public home of the hosted server: connect instructions, the tool surface, and the registry manifest. The server itself is a hosted service — there is nothing to install or run.

Connect

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http transcodely https://mcp.transcodely.com/mcp

Then run /mcp inside Claude Code and pick Authenticate — your browser opens, you approve, and the tools are live. No Transcodely account yet? One is created for you during authorization.

claude.ai / Claude desktop — Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → https://mcp.transcodely.com/mcp.

Cursor — add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "transcodely": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.transcodely.com/mcp" }
  }
}

Any other client that supports remote MCP servers over streamable HTTP works the same way. For headless use (CI, server-side agents), attach a Transcodely API key as a bearer token instead — see the connect guide.

<!-- BEGIN GENERATED TOOLS — npm run readme:gen -->

Tools (15)

Fifteen tools: nine only read, four create something — three of those start work you are billed for, and saving a preset is free — and two overwrite a setting that only affects work created after it. No tool on this surface deletes, cancels, removes or rotates anything.

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
