Video Editor MCP Server

What does “Video Editor” MCP Server do?

The Video Editor MCP Server is a tool that bridges AI assistants with the Video Jungle video platform, enabling seamless integration for video upload, editing, searching, and generation tasks. By connecting AI workflows with Video Jungle’s APIs and resources, developers and users can automate video project creation, manage assets, generate edits based on context or search results, and interact with video content at scale. This server empowers large language models to perform complex video-related operations, such as analyzing video/audio content, live editing, and retrieving project metadata, all while leveraging the power of cloud and local resources. To use it, users must sign up for a Video Jungle account and provide their API key.

How to use this MCP inside flows

Using MCP in FlowHunt

To integrate MCP servers into your FlowHunt workflow, start by adding the MCP component to your flow and connecting it to your AI agent:

Click on the MCP component to open the configuration panel. In the system MCP configuration section, insert your MCP server details using this JSON format:

{
  "video-editor-mcp": {
    "transport": "streamable_http",
    "url": "https://yourmcpserver.example/pathtothemcp/url"
  }
}

Once configured, the AI agent is now able to use this MCP as a tool with access to all its functions and capabilities.

Overview

I would rate the Video Editor MCP as a 7 out of 10: it offers robust tool and resource integration, secure setup, and supports several platforms. However, it lacks documented prompt templates and explicit support for advanced MCP features like roots and sampling.
