How we tested

Method: sandbox-run testbuilder2. npm pack + node bin/install.js doctor; system ffmpeg generated sample; Python MCP client to package/mcp/server.py for probe, cut 2s, loudness; edge: corrupt.mp4 and missing path. No ASR/model downloads.. Tester: Testbuilder2. Date: 2026-10-19T10:21:00-07:00.

Test log (from our notes)

What works

  • npm pack [email protected] into sandbox. doctor reported ok: ffmpeg/ffprobe 7.1.5, 67 capabilities, 0 required missing
  • optional missing only external:parakeet and external:whisper (left disabled). Generated a 5 s testsrc+sine sample with system ffmpeg. MCP stdio (python3 mcp/server.py) started
  • tools/list returned 12 core tools including probe
  • cut
  • loudness. probe returned duration 5.0, 320x240 h264+aac. cut start=0 end=2 wrote cut2s.mp4 (ffprobe ~2.09 s). loudness normalize completed to loud.mp4 (ffprobe ~2.09 s). Corrupt file and missing file both returned clear isError probe failures (moov atom not found / input not found).

What breaks

  • Nothing broke on the tested probe/cut/loudness path. ASR/whisper/parakeet not enabled (optional missing). Full 42-tool list (FFMPEG_SKILL_MCP_FULL=1)
  • captions
  • and a real MCP host app were not exercised.

Release claims checked

  • verified No cloud, no API keys for core tools source
  • verified doctor reports ffmpeg capability gaps (npx ffmpeg-skill doctor)
  • verified Contract-derived MCP server over stdio (mcp/server.py tools/list + tools/call)
  • unverified Optional local Whisper/Parakeet ASR (README)
