About
Probe, trim, transcode and extract frames or audio from local video files with ffmpeg.
Security Report
videokit is a clean local video tool that builds ffmpeg and ffprobe argument arrays and runs them via execFile without a shell, so shell injection is not a concern. The only notable points are that file paths are passed through without restriction (expected for a local file tool) and that ffmpeg's protocol handling could let a path argument reference a URL, both rated low. Permissions match the stated purpose of local video processing. Supply chain analysis found 4 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 2 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

videokit
Local video file tools as a CLI and a stdio MCP server in one bin. Probe a video for duration, dimensions and codecs; extract a thumbnail, frames or the audio track; trim, transcode and resize.
All work is built as ffmpeg/ffprobe argument arrays (execFile, never a shell string) behind an injectable executor, and probe results are parsed from ffprobe's JSON output — fields a file does not carry come back as null, never invented. This package bundles no ffmpeg: host runs use the host's binaries, and when they are absent the spawn error (ENOENT) is the tool error.
Install
npx -y @reneturcios/videokit mcp
CLI
videokit mcp
videokit probe <file>
videokit thumbnail <file> <output> [timestamp-seconds]
videokit audio <file> <output>
videokit trim <file> <output> <start-seconds> [duration-seconds]
videokit resize <file> <output> <width> <height>
videokit --version
Exit codes: 0 success, 1 ffmpeg error, 2 usage error.
