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 Cline?
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code. it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including SMPTE Timecode Calculator tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 3 tools through Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.

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 Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
