Quality & Safety
Based on automated analysis of tool definitions and protocol compliance.
Context Cost
This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

Tools (4)
🟢list_converters
List every conversion CutConvert supports (source format, output format, and the target id to pass to convert_file).
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {},
"additionalProperties": false
}🟢convert_file(filename, content, content_base64, caption_language, frame_rate, ...)
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).

}🟢inspect_file(filename, content, content_base64)
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.

}🟢timecode_calculate(timecode, rate, to_rate, mode)
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.
