Botverse Mcp

MCP server and command-line tool for Botverse — video transcoding and document conversion for AI agents and the humans who configure them.

npm

What it does

• Video transcoding — MP4 (H.264), WebM (VP9), ProRes 422, GIF, MP3 extraction · $0.25/job
• Document conversion — Markdown ↔ DOCX ↔ PDF ↔ HTML ↔ XLSX · $0.05/file
• Transcription — speaker-labelled transcripts (diarization + AI speaker naming) → txt/srt/vtt/docx/pdf · ~$5/hour

Two ways to use it: an MCP server for your AI agents, and a botverse CLI for the shell — evaluation, CI/CD, cron, scripts, and local coding agents. No AWS. No FFmpeg. No infrastructure.

Setup

1. Sign up at botverse.cloud — free to try: $1 credit on signup, no card required. A card + 2FA are only needed at your first top-up ($5 min). No monthly fees.
2. Get an API key or connector URL from your dashboard
3. Add to your MCP client config

Usage

Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "botverse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "botverse-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BOTVERSE_API_KEY": "bv_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Or with a connector URL (recommended for claude.ai):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "botverse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "botverse-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BOTVERSE_CONNECTOR_URL": "https://botverse.cloud/mcp?token=bv_sess_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Command line (botverse)

The same package ships a botverse CLI for the shell — it reads files from disk and streams them straight to the API (no content goes through an LLM), so it's the fast path for evaluation, automation, and local coding agents.

export BOTVERSE_API_KEY=bv_live_…        # or BOTVERSE_CONNECTOR_URL=…?token=bv_sess_…

npx botverse convert report.md --to pdf
npx botverse convert *.md --to docx,pdf -o ./out
npx botverse transcode clip.mov --to mp4 -o ./out
npx botverse transcribe call.mp4 --to docx --attendees "Sarah Chen,Mike Torres"
npx botverse balance

Each job uploads → polls → downloads the finished file to -o (default: current dir). Globs and multiple --to formats run as a batch.

Sandbox note: the CLI needs outbound network to botverse.cloud and S3, so it does not run inside sandboxed agent environments (claude.ai / Claude Desktop), whose egress is allowlisted. There, use the MCP tools (convert_content / get_output_content).
