We built an MCP server for Qencode

Why we built it

Qencode MCP gives assistants a clearer way to work with the Qencode API. It exposes focused tools for submitting jobs, checking their status, and looking up the relevant documentation.

How it works

The agent connects to https://mcp.qencode.com/mcp, using an existing Qencode API key, or runs the server in a self-hosted environment.

For common jobs, transcode_video provides a structured interface that reduces request-formatting mistakes. For advanced workflows, start_encode2_raw gives the agent access to the full request format.

The server also includes documentation lookup and job-monitoring tools, so the assistant can find the correct configuration and follow an encode through completion.
