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 Windsurf?
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple SMPTE Timecode Calculator tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 3 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

Why teams choose Vinkius for SMPTE Timecode Calculator in Windsurf
The SMPTE Timecode Calculator MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 3 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Windsurf only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
SMPTE Timecode Calculator for Windsurf
Every tool call from Windsurf to the SMPTE Timecode Calculator MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
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 Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
