Shotstack MCP Server (hosted)

Other

Video and image edits usually mean a timeline editor and a lot of manual dragging. Shotstack skips that: it takes a JSON edit timeline describing clips, transitions, overlays, and audio, then renders the finished asset on its own render farm. Neotask's agent can build that timeline from a plain description of the edit you want, submit it to Shotstack, and poll the render job until the output file is ready.

• Builds a JSON edit timeline from a plain-language description of the cuts, overlays, and audio you want
• Ingests source video, image, and audio clips as timeline inputs
• Submits the render job and checks its status until the output asset is ready

What you can automate

Shotstack MCP Server

Submit programmatic video, image, and audio edits to Shotstack using a JSON edit timeline; ingest source media, render an output asset, and check rendering job status.

Real workflows

Turn raw clips into a finished video

Point the agent at a set of source clips and describe the edit — trim to the highlight, add a title card, layer in a voiceover. It assembles the Shotstack timeline, submits the render, and checks back until the finished video is ready to download.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to write the JSON edit timeline myself?

No — describe the edit you want and the agent constructs the Shotstack timeline JSON for you, including clip order, transitions, and overlays.

How do I know when my render is done?

The agent polls the render job status through Shotstack and lets you know as soon as the output asset finishes processing.
