About DaVinci Resolve MCP Server
Description · AI-summarised from the samuelgursky README
DaVinci Resolve MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that enables AI assistants to control DaVinci Resolve Studio through the official Scripting API. It offers two operational modes: a compound mode with 32 related tools grouped by workflow (recommended for most users) and a granular mode with 329 one-tool-per-method tools for power users. The server provides 100% API coverage (336/336 methods) with 98.5% live test pass rates, supporting editing, media pool organization, multicam prep, media analysis with source-safety guards, timeline conforming, review markers, color grading, Fusion compositing, Fairlight audio, rendering and delivery, and extension authoring. Installation is managed via npm with automatic environment setup and client configuration for Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and other IDEs. The server includes a local control panel, comprehensive documentation for media analysis and editorial workflows, and security guarantees for immutable source media.
