Qencode MCP

Connect any MCP-compatible AI client — Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini — to your Qencode account and let it submit, monitor, and reason about transcoding jobs on your behalf.

Transcodehttps://example.com/input.mp4as an HLS ladder at 1080/720/540/360. Put it in my R2 bucketvideos/demo/.

The agent picks thehls_abrrecipe, fills in the per-rendition encoding params, submits viastart_encode2_raw, and polls until the job is done.

There are no API keys to copy into client config — authentication is browser-based OAuth.

Scopes the client should request at authorize time(published via Protected Resource Metadata):

The RS enforcestranscoding:readandtranscoding:writeon access tokens at the transport layer.

Your Qencode API keys never leave the portal. The MCP server derives a short-lived session token per request via an internal portal endpoint.

Bucket management and ingest for Qencode Media Storage. These ride the same OAuth grant as the transcoding tools — no extra scope and no re-consent.

The server ships a knowledge base of recipes and reference docs, exposed as MCP resources so the agent can fetch only what it needs. Notable URIs:

- qencode://docs/best-practices— composition defaults the agent applies automatically
- qencode://docs/storage— destination compatibility matrix (Qencode S3, R2, AWS S3, Azure, B2, FTP/SFTP)
- qencode://docs/error-codes— error code → cause → fix
- qencode://docs/gotchas— non-obvious API quirks
- qencode://schema/digest— full attribute reference forstart_encode2
- qencode://recipe/<slug>— one per feature flow:hls_abr,mp4_ladder,audio_outputs,thumbnails,speech_to_text,subtitles,stitching,drm_widevine_ezdrm,drm_fairplay_ezdrm,drm_playready_ezdrm,drm_aes128,drm_buydrm,drm_expressplay,codec_av1,per_title_encoding,incremental_abr,refresh_abr_playlist,callbacks,reliability,video_metadata

- MAJOR— a breaking surface change: a tool/prompt/resource is removed or renamed, a previously optional argument becomes required, an OAuth scope is added or tightened in a way that forces re-consent, or a supported MCP protocol version is dropped.
- MINOR— a backward-compatible addition: a new tool/prompt/resource, a new optional argument, or a newly supported protocol version.
- PATCH— no change to the surface shape: tool/prompt description rewordings, knowledge-base/doc updates, and bug fixes.
