DaVinci Resolve MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with DaVinci Resolve and Fusion. This server allows AI assistants like Claude to directly interact with and control DaVinci Resolve through the Model Context Protocol.

Features

  • Two-way communication: Connect Claude AI to DaVinci Resolve through the MCP protocol
  • Project management: Create, open, and manage DaVinci Resolve projects
  • Timeline manipulation: Create, modify, and navigate timelines
  • Media management: Import, organize, and manage media in the Media Pool
  • Fusion integration: Create and modify Fusion compositions
  • Scene inspection: Get detailed information about the current DaVinci Resolve project
  • Code execution: Run arbitrary Python code in DaVinci Resolve from Claude

Installation

Prerequisites

  • DaVinci Resolve Studio (version 17 or higher recommended)
  • Python 3.8 or higher
  • Claude Desktop (for AI integration)

Setup

  1. Clone this repository:

    git clone https://github.com/apvlv/davinci-resolve-mcp.git
    cd davinci-resolve-mcp
    
  2. Install the required dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt
    
  3. Install the MCP server in Claude Desktop:

    mcp install src/resolve_mcp/server.py
    

    Alternatively, you can install with the editable flag for development:

    mcp install src/resolve_mcp/server.py --with-editable .
    

Usage

With Claude Desktop

  1. Start DaVinci Resolve
  2. In Claude Desktop, connect to the "DaVinci Resolve MCP" server
  3. You can now interact with DaVinci Resolve through Claude

With 5ire

5ire is an open-source cross-platform desktop AI assistant and MCP client that's compatible with this server.

  1. Install 5ire from GitHub or using Homebrew on macOS:
    brew tap brewforge/extras
    brew install --cask 5ire
    
  2. Start DaVinci Resolve
  3. In 5ire, add the DaVinci Resolve MCP server
  4. Connect to the server using your preferred AI model (OpenAI, Claude, etc.)
  5. You can now interact with DaVinci Resolve through 5ire
