DaVinci Resolve MCP
MCP server that bridges AI assistants (Cursor, Claude Desktop) with DaVinci Resolve's scripting API. Enables natural language control of Resolve for project management, timeline operations, media pool management, marker placement, and page/workspace navigation.
Best When
You use DaVinci Resolve and want to control basic project/timeline/media operations through natural language via Cursor or Claude Desktop.
Avoid When
You need advanced Resolve features (color grading, Fusion, Fairlight), are on Linux, or don't have Resolve 18.5+. The tool surface covers basics, not deep editing.
Use Cases
- • Querying project and timeline information from DaVinci Resolve via AI chat
- • Creating new projects and timelines with natural language commands
- • Importing media files and organizing bins through an AI assistant
- • Adding markers to timelines programmatically
- • Switching between Resolve pages (Edit, Color, Fusion, etc.) via chat
Not For
- • Linux users (macOS and Windows only)
- • Users without DaVinci Resolve 18.5+
- • Complex color grading or Fusion compositing workflows (limited API surface)
- • Batch rendering or export automation (not documented)
