Drive Premiere Pro timelines, effects, and exports from your agent via a CEP bridge.

What it does

A 283-tool MCP server that controls Premiere Pro through a CEP extension bridge: import media, edit sequences, apply effects and transitions, and export, with context resources and guided prompts alongside the tools. Lets an agent do real NLE assembly inside the editor filmmakers already use, which Adobe's own connector does not offer.

Field notes

No longer a clone-and-build job: the project now publishes to npm as adobe-premiere-pro-mcp (first release 5 Aug 2026, 1.2.0 on 17 Aug 2026, MIT), so a global install plus `--install-cep` is the documented path and the client just runs the premiere-pro-mcp binary. Nothing connects until you open the CEP panel in Premiere and click Start Bridge; run `verify_premiere_connection` first. Adobe DOES have an official MCP — the hosted 'Adobe for Creativity' connector, GA Apr 28 2026, listed separately here — but it is account-scoped and its video surface is reformat/quick-cut class (video_resize, video_create_quick_cut), with no tool that opens or edits a Premiere project, so community CEP/UXP bridges still own real editorial. This one: 480 stars, pushed Aug 17 2026, README claims 283 tools plus 13 context resources and 10 guided prompts (the repo blurb says 282 — treat both as marketing and read live tools/list). CEP is the supported production bridge; UXP is explicitly experimental. Alternatives: leancoderkavy/premiere-pro-mcp (200 stars, MIT, 280 tools, pushed Aug 17 2026) and ayushozha/AdobePremiereProMCP (85 stars, MIT, pushed Aug 16 2026, claims 1,027 tools) — neither is packaged, both are clone-and-build.
