ffmpeg-skill vs plumb-mcp

ffmpeg-skill: ffmpeg-skill is an Agent Skill and MCP server that lets Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any MCP client edit video with local FFmpeg. It teaches a probe → edit → check → verify workflow and ships 42 tools for cutting, silence removal, captions, reframing, loudness and delivery checks, using only the Python standard library and no cloud or API keys.; plumb-mcp: Plumb is a Figma-to-code MCP server with a built-in verification loop. It reads Figma via a desktop plugin (no rate limits, works on Free plans) and outputs a compact normalised design spec (PDS) instead of large JSON tokens. The unique verification tool drives headless Chrome to diff the rendered code against the original design, closing the loop on code quality.

Features

ffmpeg-skill logoffmpeg-skill
0142 tools: cut, join, silence removal, captions and karaoke, overlays, HDR to SDR, LUTs, multicam, loudness
02Every tool callable over MCP; a core 12 are listed by default to keep client context small
03Machine-readable contract describing all tools (npx ffmpeg-skill contract --json)
04Optional local transcription with Parakeet or Whisper; audio is never uploaded
05Tested in CI against FFmpeg 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, 8 and 9
plumb-mcp logoplumb-mcp
01No rate limits: reads Figma via a plugin API, bypassing REST quotas and plan gates.
02Compact spec (PDS): deduplicates design tokens and resolves auto-layout to flexbox, reducing token count by 1–2 orders of magnitude.
03Verification loop: `plumb_verify` MCP tool and CLI diff rendered code against Figma design, outputting structured deltas.
04Twelve MCP tools: outline, node, tokens, assets, screenshot, verify, search, components, and more.
05Two data paths: plugin (no token, real-time) and REST (headless/CI, requires token).
