Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security74
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability71
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 660 tokens (~165/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management83
- Stability observed for 25 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
How do I install the CutConvert MCP server?
CutConvert is a hosted endpoint at https://cutconvert.com/api/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
convert_file Convert a post-production file ~272
Convert a subtitle, transcript, caption, EDL, FCPXML, or Premiere .prtranscript file. Pass text file contents in `content`; pass binary files (.prtranscript) as base64 in `content_base64`. The filename extension drives format detection. Use `target` from list_converters to pick the output, or leave it as "auto" to get the default output for the detected format. Returns the converted file content (text formats inline; DOCX/ZIP as base64).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| caption_language | string | – | BCP 47 caption language for ITT/TTML, e.g. en-US or ja. Defaults to the source language or undetermined. |
| content | string | – | The file content for text formats (SRT, VTT, TXT, EDL, JSON, FCPXML, …). |
| content_base64 | string | – | Base64-encoded bytes for binary formats (.prtranscript). |
| filename | string | yes | Original file name including extension, e.g. "episode1.srt" — drives format detection. |
| frame_rate | string | – | Frame rate for frame-based outputs such as ITT. Defaults to auto. |
| target | string | – | Conversion target id from list_converters, or "auto" for the default output. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
inspect_file Detect a file’s format ~85
Detect the format of a subtitle/transcript/EDL/FCPXML file and report what CutConvert would produce from it, without performing the conversion or using quota.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| content | string | – | File content (text formats). |
| content_base64 | string | – | Base64 bytes (binary formats like .prtranscript). |
| filename | string | yes | Original file name including extension. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_converters List supported converters ~32
List every conversion CutConvert supports (source format, output format, and the target id to pass to convert_file).
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
timecode_calculate SMPTE timecode calculator ~145
Parse an SMPTE timecode at a frame rate (including 29.97/59.94 drop-frame) and report its frame count and real elapsed seconds; optionally re-express it at another rate.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| mode | string | – | When converting rates: "time" keeps the same real-world moment (conform, default); "frames" keeps the frame count (reinterpret). |
| rate | string | yes | Frame rate the timecode is expressed in. |
| timecode | string | yes | Timecode like "01:00:02:12" (use ";" before frames for drop-frame). |
| to_rate | string | – | Optional target frame rate to convert to. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
