What are the prerequisites?
Python 3.10 or higher and Shaka Packager installed and available in your PATH. An MCP-compatible client like Claude Desktop is also required.
How does file path handling work?
The server automatically translates paths between Docker and host environments using the VIDEO_PATH and DOCKER_PATH environment variables. Manual configuration may be needed for custom setups.
