The original title is: "Cursor + FFmpeg Micro: Ship Video Features Without Learning FFmpeg"

Short summary

FFmpeg Micro exposes an MCP server that lets Cursor generate video processing API calls from plain English descriptions, eliminating the need to learn FFmpeg's 400+ flags. You connect the MCP server via a .mcp.json file, authenticate with OAuth or an API key, and then describe operations like 'convert to MP4 with reasonable quality' — Cursor maps that to the correct parameters. The post includes code examples for transcoding, trimming, and thumbnail generation.
