Teach your Claude Agent to process Zoom recordings and extract audio in 5 minutes (MCP)
As IT developers, we are constantly tasked with building internal tools to automate messy, repetitive workflows. With the rise of AI agents, it’s now incredibly easy to build a Claude-powered bot that manages tickets, audits logs, or summarizes text.
But things fall apart the moment a user drops a massive 2GB raw Zoom recording, a Microsoft Teams .webm export, or a screen-share video into the chat and asks the agent to "compress this for the wiki" or "extract the audio so we can transcribe it."
Suddenly, your lightweight AI agent needs to be a media engineering wizard. Your options? Either force a local installation of FFmpeg (and deal with cross-platform binary dependencies breaking in production) or spend days configuring AWS MediaConvert pipelines, S3 buckets, IAM roles, and webhooks.
Spoiler alert: You shouldn't have to build cloud infrastructure just to downsample a corporate meeting recording.
