What it does
This server provides access to Rendobar, a serverless media processing API. It lets AI agents transform video, audio, and images using FFmpeg commands, compress files to size targets, burn captions, generate images from prompts, and edit existing images—with results hosted and returned as URLs.
- Apply FFmpeg filters or commands to video, audio, or images without installing FFmpeg locally.
- Compress video or audio files to meet a specific file size limit while maintaining quality.
- Generate images from text prompts or edit images based on written instructions.
Tools this server exposes
| Tool | Does |

| submit_job | Submit a media processing job (FFmpeg, compression, image generation, image editing, upscaling, or caption burning) to Rendobar. |
| get_job | Check the status of a submitted job and retrieve the result URL when complete. |
| list_job_types | Retrieve the current list of available job types from the registry. |
| inspect | Examine a media file and get a normalized summary plus full ffprobe output. |
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.
