Communityby Community (samuelgursky)freeverified Aug 11, 2026

Full AI control of DaVinci Resolve Studio — edit, grade, Fusion, and render via scripting.

What it does

MCP server built on Resolve's official Scripting API covering project management, media pool, timeline editing, color grading, Fusion comps, Fairlight audio, and the render queue. The most mature NLE MCP available — a filmmaker-agent can conform timelines, apply grades, and kick off renders without touching the GUI.

Field notes

~2.1k stars, MIT, v2.93.0 released Aug 10 2026 — the most actively maintained NLE MCP in this directory, and still shipping. Requires Resolve STUDIO 18.5+ (the free edition has no external scripting) and Python 3.10-3.12. The setup wizard auto-configures Claude Desktop/Cursor/VS Code. tools_sample is null because the exposed tool list tracks Resolve's scripting API and moves between releases — read tools/list rather than trusting a cached name.
