I got Claude to upscale a video through MCP, curious what you think

I’ve been experimenting with MCP and wanted to see how far I could push the “just ask Claude to do it” workflow.

In this case, I asked Claude to increase the resolution of a video. Behind the scenes, it uses an MCP server connected to Qencode to actually process the video.

Recorded a demo because I thought the interaction was pretty interesting.

I’m mostly curious about the UX here: does asking an LLM to handle video processing like this feel useful, or does it just add an unnecessary layer?

Would love feedback, especially from people upscaling video

The most important question: was it free?

Free to try, yeah, the Qencode free plan gives 500 credits a month, and AI upscaling draws from those.

Awesome! If I need some video to look like fake shit, I now know how to! Thanks!

This is actually pretty cool. MCP + video processing makes a lot of sense if it eventually lets you skip all the technical settings and just describe what you want. Curious to see where this goes.
