Qencode MCP server

What it does

An MCP server that connects AI clients to the Qencode Transcoding API over OAuth. Developers can submit, monitor, and manage video transcoding jobs and manage media storage buckets through an AI assistant.

• Submit video transcoding jobs with parameters like codec, bitrate, and output format through natural language requests.
• Monitor the status and progress of transcoding jobs and wait for them to complete.
• Manage media storage buckets and download transcoded videos from Qencode Media Storage.

Before you enable it

An MCP server runs with whatever access you give it. Start with a development account rather than production, and check which tools the server exposes before you let an agent call them unattended.
