This MCP server enables AI coding assistants to interact with DaVinci Resolve, allowing for project management, timeline operations, and media pool manipulation via natural language.
The MCP server offers convenient control over DaVinci Resolve but introduces risks due to write capabilities. It is safe when used with careful command construction and a clear understanding of the potential impact on DaVinci Resolve projects. Risky scenarios involve automated or unsupervised operation where unintended modifications can occur.
Performance is limited by the DaVinci Resolve scripting API and the speed of the AI assistant. Complex commands may take longer to execute.
No direct cost, but AI assistant usage may incur costs depending on the platform.

The MCP server offers convenient control over DaVinci Resolve but introduces risks due to write capabilities. It is safe when used with careful command construction and a clear understanding of the potential impact on DaVinci Resolve projects. Risky scenarios involve automated or unsupervised operation where unintended modifications can occur.
The level of autonomy depends on the AI assistant and the commands it generates. There is no built-in sandboxing or rollback mechanism, so caution is advised.
Production Tip
Monitor the log file for errors and ensure DaVinci Resolve is running before starting the server.
DaVinci Resolve 18.5 and later are officially supported.
DaVinci Resolve Studio is required.
Cursor and Claude Desktop are the primary supported AI assistants.
You need to create a `mcp.json` file in the Cursor configuration directory with the correct server settings.
Check the log file for errors, verify environment variables, and ensure DaVinci Resolve is running.
Yes, but you need to ensure the server is accessible from the remote machine and properly secured.
No, there is no built-in support for undo/redo. You need to implement this functionality in your AI assistant.
