LLMs are notoriously terrible at base-60 and base-30 math. If you ask an AI to add 00:01:23:14 to 00:02:45:21 at 29.97 drop-frame, the result is almost guaranteed to be a hallucination. This MCP fixes that for video automation pipelines.

The Superpowers

  • Flawless Base-60 Math: Perform exact frame-accurate addition and subtraction of SMPTE timecodes.
  • Drop-Frame Support: Automatically accounts for NTSC 29.97 or 59.94 drop-frame logic.

3 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

add_timecodes

Pass the frame count and the framerate (24, 25, 30, etc.). Adds two SMPTE timecodes natively supporting drop-frame math

frames_to_timecode

Pass both timecode strings and the framerate, and receive the summed result. Converts absolute frame counts into SMPTE formatted timecode strings

subtract_timecodes

Pass the timecode and framerate. Subtracts two SMPTE timecodes

Add the timecode `00:01:23:14` to `00:02:45:21` assuming a 29.97 drop-frame video format.

✅ **SMPTE Calculation:** Base-60 addition resulted precisely in `00:04:09:05`.

Subtract exactly 30 frames from the starting timecode `00:01:00:00` at a standard 30fps rate.

✅ **Frames Subtracted:** The resulting timecode is mathematically accurate: `00:00:59:00`.

Translate an absolute position of 1500 frames into a readable timecode string for a 25fps video.

✅ **Timecode Formatted:** 1500 frames at 25fps maps perfectly to `00:01:00:00`.

Yes, pass the dropFrame boolean parameter for exact NTSC compliance.
