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.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings SMPTE Timecode Calculator data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 3 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
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 VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
