# Qencode — AI Connector Qencode publishes 11 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/developer-tools/qencode/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Developer Tools](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/developer-tools/) # Qencode Video transcoding, streaming packaging, and media analysis Listed in Claude · 11 published tools · Community-listed [Claude connector docs](https://docs.qencode.com/) [cloud.qencode.com](https://cloud.qencode.com/) Overview ## What Qencode does Qencode handles video processing as a service, and the published scope is wide: transcoding to MP4 or WebM, packaging HLS and DASH streams with adaptive ladders, repacking containers without re-encoding, extracting audio, generating thumbnails and sprite sheets with WebVTT seek previews, trimming and stitching, resizing, cropping, deinterlacing, HDR to SDR conversion, watermarking, and subtitle handling. Analysis sits alongside it: transcription with speaker labels and timestamps, subtitle export and translation, content description and moderation, text or image search within video, VMAF quality scoring, detection of AI-generated video, and metadata reads. Eleven tools carry all of that, so each is parameter-heavy rather than task-specific. A Qencode account is required. ### Who it is for Media engineers building video pipelines for delivery or analysis. ### Tool surface Eleven published tools against dozens of named operations implies heavy parameterisation, and since the endpoint asked for credentials before listing, how the operations are grouped is not observable. Availability ## Where Qencode is listed Qencode is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Qencode Corp. has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them. The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one. Claude listing ## In the Claude connectors directory Qencode publishes 11 tools to Claude. That is a mid-sized surface: 48% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Developer Tools publishes 13, so this one sits 2 tools below its bucket's median, 51st of 95. It falls in the 11-20 tools band, which holds 22.5% of the Claude directory. Qencode publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally. Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there. Publisher Qencode Corp. Verification Community-listed (61.5% of the Claude directory) Filed under Developer Tools Endpoint `https://mcp.qencode.com/mcp` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://docs.qencode.com/) Published tools 11 · 11-20 tools band Depth rank in Developer Tools 51 of 95 Snapshot August 2026 Qencode is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality. In the publisher's words ## How Qencode Corp. describes it > Qencode makes it simple to build great video experiences. Convert any video file to MP4 or WebM Create HLS and DASH streams (including WebM DASH) with adaptive quality ladders Swap containers without re-encoding (repack) Extract audio as MP3, M4A, FLAC, or audio-only HLS Make thumbnails, thumbnail sets, or sprite sheets with WebVTT seek previews Let AI pick the best frame; turn clips into GIFs Describe, categorize, or moderate video; search it by text or image; ask custom questions Transcribe speech with speaker labels and timestamps; export SRT/VTT subtitles; translate to 15 languages Detect AI-generated video; score quality with VMAF; read metadata (duration, codecs) Trim or stitch clips Resize, crop, rotate, deinterlace; change aspect ratio or frame rate Convert HDR to SDR; adjust or remap audio Add logos or watermarks Add, keep, or strip subtitles and captions Tag and process 360°/VR Cut bandwidth with per-title encoding and AV1, HEVC, VP9 Add or remove quality levels on a stream without re-encoding Protect with AES-128, DRM (Widevine, FairPlay, PlayReady), and forensic watermarks Send outputs to AWS, Google Cloud, R2, Azure, Backblaze, or FTP — even several at once Get webhooks when jobs finish; auto-retry failures Start jobs from URLs, S3, or direct uploads; track progress; get file URLs, sizes, durations Create many outputs in one job (HLS + MP4 + thumbnails + transcript) List, browse, and create buckets; share time-limited links; import files from URLs; or use temp storage Search built-in recipes and guides so your AI agent builds correct jobs on the first try Our goal is to democratize the latest video technology and help developers create amazing video experiences, whether they work from a conversational chat or an agentic pipeline, without writing API code by hand.
