Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the 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.
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.
Built-in capabilities (3)
Pass the frame count and the framerate (24, 25, 30, etc.). Adds two SMPTE timecodes natively supporting drop-frame math
Pass both timecode strings and the framerate, and receive the summed result. Converts absolute frame counts into SMPTE formatted timecode strings
Pass the timecode and framerate. Subtracts two SMPTE timecodes
Why Vercel AI SDK?
The Vercel AI SDK gives every SMPTE Timecode Calculator tool full TypeScript type inference, IDE autocomplete, and compile-time error checking. Connect 3 tools through Vinkius and stream results progressively to React, Svelte, or Vue components. works on Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and any Node.js runtime.

Frequently asked questions
Does it support drop-frame?
Yes, pass the dropFrame boolean parameter for exact NTSC compliance.
What framerates are supported?
All standard rates: 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94, 60.
Can it convert frames to timecode?
Yes, absolute frame counting to SMPTE string is supported.
How does the Vercel AI SDK connect to MCP servers?
Import createMCPClient from @ai-sdk/mcp and pass the server URL. The SDK discovers all tools and provides typed TypeScript interfaces for each one.
Can I use MCP tools in Edge Functions?
Yes. The AI SDK is fully edge-compatible. MCP connections work on Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and similar runtimes.
Does it support streaming tool results?
Yes. The SDK provides streaming primitives like useChat and streamText that handle tool calls and display results progressively in the UI.
createMCPClient is not a function
Install: npm install @ai-sdk/mcp
