PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 10, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • convert_video

    Queue an asynchronous video conversion: fetches sourceUrl (or, with upload: true, waits for you to PUT the bytes to the returned uploadUrl), converts to MP4 scaled to fit maxWidth x maxHeight (defaults 1920x1080, cap 4096). Returns { jobId, status: "queued" | "awaiting_upload", s

  • probe_media

    Queue an asynchronous media inspection: fetches sourceUrl (or, with upload: true, waits for you to PUT the bytes to the returned uploadUrl) and returns its technical metadata as a downloadable file. In the default json format the result is the full raw analysis plus one added top

  • extract_frames

    Queue an asynchronous frame extraction - the tool to reach for when you need to SEE a video: fetches sourceUrl (or, with upload: true, waits for you to PUT the bytes to the returned uploadUrl) and extracts still frames as jpeg, webp or png. mode is REQUIRED and picks the sampling

  • get_job_status

    Free status lookup for a job accepted by convert_video / probe_media / extract_frames. Requires the job's ownership token - the `t` query parameter of the statusUrl returned at acceptance (store the whole statusUrl; it cannot be regenerated). Status goes [awaiting_upload ->] queu

  • get_balance

    Free. Reports the credit balance of the account this client is connected to, plus what one credit is worth, what each operation costs in credits, the monthly free allowance and whether a card is on file to unlock it. Takes no input: it reads the account behind the credential your

  • leave_feedback

    Tell us what you needed. If ffpipe does not offer the operation you came for - another output format, extracting a frame, a different transformation entirely - say so here: these requests are aggregated and they drive directly what gets built next, so a one-line "I wanted X" is g

Common questions

Is ffpipe — video conversion, probe & frames safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.0) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?
