About SMPTE Timecode Calculator MCP Server
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.
Claude Code registers SMPTE Timecode Calculator as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 3 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where SMPTE Timecode Calculator data drives decisions without human intervention.
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.
The SMPTE Timecode Calculator MCP Server exposes 3 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Claude Code in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
