Key facts (verified)

  • GitHub: 1044 stars · 123 forks · pushed 2026-05-14.
  • License: MIT · owner avatar + repo URL verified via GitHub API.
  • README-backed entrypoint: git clone https://github.com/samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp.git && cd davinci-resolve-mcp && python install.py.

Main

  • Use compound mode first: README recommends the 31-tool surface unless you need the full one-tool-per-method set.

  • Treat source media as immutable: README documents a “source media safety” posture and sidecar analysis outputs.

  • Validate Resolve settings: external scripting must be set to Local (Preferences → General) before connecting.

  • Keep context low: compound actions group operations behind parameters to reduce token use and tool chatter.

Source-backed notes

  • README shows python install.py as the primary installer and notes it can configure multiple MCP clients.
  • README lists two server modes: 31 compound tools vs 328 granular tools, with 100% API coverage claims in its stats section.
  • README documents Resolve requirements: Studio edition and external scripting enabled.

FAQ

  • Does it work with the free Resolve edition?: README states external scripting requires DaVinci Resolve Studio.
  • Which mode should I use?: Start with compound mode (31 tools). Switch to granular (328) only if you need method-level control.
  • What’s a safe first task?: List projects/timelines and read metadata first, then do writes like render settings after you’re confident.
