## MCP tools (7)

### `probe_video` (~50 tokens)

Inspect a tennis recording

Read duration, resolution, rotation, HDR/colour, audio tracks and recording time of a local video file. Run this first to confirm the file is readable.

Input parameters:

- `video` (string, required): Local video path.

### `rank_highlights` (~133 tokens)

Parse and rank a rally list

Parse a rally list and show which rallies would be kept, so the user can confirm before rendering.

Input parameters:

- `highlights_path` (string): Path to a rally list (.txt from sliceapp or .json).
- `highlights_text` (string): Rally list pasted inline, one rally per line, e.g. '27:14 - 28:08 40 hits'. Use either this or highlights_path.
- `sort` (string): Ranking: longest rally first (hits), longest clip, or chronological.
- `top` (integer): Keep the N best rallies (0 = all; free version caps at 5).

### `start_highlight_reel` (~298 tokens)

Render a labeled tennis highlight reel

Start the full pipeline in the background: lossless keyframe-aligned clips, a plain reel, a labeled reel (hit count / venue / wall clock / source timestamp) and manifest.json with self-check results. Returns a job_id; poll get_job. A 47-minute iPhone HDR recording with 5 rallies takes 3-5 minutes on an M-series Mac.

Input parameters:

- `codec` (string)
- `highlights_path` (string): Path to a rally list (.txt from sliceapp or .json).
- `highlights_text` (string): Rally list pasted inline, one rally per line, e.g. '27:14 - 28:08 40 hits'. Use either this or highlights_path.
- `labels` (boolean)
- `outdir` (string, required): Output directory (created).
- `place` (string): Venue text for the label.
- `sort` (string): Ranking: longest rally first (hits), longest clip, or chronological.
- `source_label` (string): Prefix for the source timestamp (default 片源; 'Source').
- `timezone` (string): IANA timezone for the wall clock, e.g. Asia/Shanghai.
- `top` (integer): Keep the N best rallies (0 = all; free version caps at 5).
- `unit` (string): Hit counter unit (default 拍; 'hits').
- `video` (string, required): Local source recording.

### `get_job` (~48 tokens)

Check a render job

Status of a job from start_highlight_reel: running/done/failed, the last log lines, and once done the manifest (outputs and verification).

Input parameters:

- `job_id` (string, required)

### `verify_video` (~46 tokens)

Self-check a finished video

Clean decode, zero start offset, A/V duration match, non-black first/last frame, non-silent audio.

Input parameters:

- `fast` (boolean)
- `path` (string, required)

### `license_status` (~24 tokens)

Show free/Pro status

Whether a Pro licence is active, the free-tier limits and the pricing URL.

### `activate_license` (~29 tokens)

Activate a Pro licence key

Verify a te1.… key offline and store it for future renders.

Input parameters:

- `key` (string, required)

## Common questions

### What is the Tennis Evolution MCP server?

Tennis Evolution is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.bobobo2026/tennis-evolution. Turn a long tennis recording into a labeled highlight reel: lossless rally clips, hit-count labels. This page covers its PyPI package (tennis-evolution).

### Is the Tennis Evolution MCP server safe to use?

Tennis Evolution scores 80 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Tennis Evolution MCP server expose?

Tennis Evolution exposes 7 tools: probe_video, rank_highlights, start_highlight_reel, get_job, verify_video, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 628 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Tennis Evolution MCP server still maintained?

Tennis Evolution is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Tennis Evolution MCP server under?

Tennis Evolution declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
