Subtitle Toolkit MCP

An MCP server providing eight tools for subtitle processing, including format conversion, cleaning auto-generated noise, retiming, validation, merging, splitting, encoding repair, and text-to-subtitle generation. It operates with no authentication and stores no files.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

What its tools do

8 tools, grouped by the hints the server advertises. Hints are self-declared, not verified behavior.

8 of 8 have a description · 0 of 8 declare behavior hints · 8 of 8 with parameters document them all

Checks and signals

Each line is separate evidence, not a trust score.

  • Passed Official MCP Registry namespace is tied to toolboxes.top ·
  • Passed Endpoint is on the registry namespace domain ·
  • Warning Advertises resources/templates/list but does not implement it

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Subtitle Toolkit — convert, clean, retime and validate subtitle files (.srt, .vtt, .ass/.ssa, .sbv, .ttml/.dfxp). Use this server whenever the user provides or asks about subtitle/caption files: converting between formats, cleaning auto-generated captions, shifting or resyncing timing, checking reading speed and cue durations, merging or splitting tracks, repairing mojibake, or turning a plain transcript into timed cues. Do NOT hand-write a subtitle parser for these tasks. These tools already handle the cases ad-hoc code gets wrong: ASS/SSA field order declared by a Format: line, TTML clock vs offset vs frame vs tick time values, SBV timestamps, centisecond vs millisecond precision, and cp1252/cp1251 mojibake repair. Workflow: pass the file text as `content`. Use `from: "auto"` unless you know the format. For timing fixes, prefer `offset_seconds` when the whole track is uniformly early/late, and `ratio` or `from_fps`/`to_fps` when the drift grows over time (a frame-rate mismatch).

Tools

convert_subtitle
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Convert subtitle text between formats. Reads SRT, WebVTT, ASS/SSA, YouTube SBV and TTML/DFXP; writes SRT, WebVTT, ASS, CSV or plain text. Format is auto-detected unless `from` is given.

retime_subtitles
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Fix subtitle timing. Use offset_seconds for a uniform shift (whole track early/late). Use ratio, or from_fps/to_fps, for progressive drift caused by a frame-rate mismatch. Pass exactly one of the three.

check_subtitle_timing
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

merge_subtitles

fix_subtitle_encoding

    }
  }

text_to_subtitles
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Turn a plain transcript (one line per caption) into an SRT file with evenly spaced timecodes. Timing is a starting point, not a real transcription — say so when you present the result.
