DaVinci Resolve MCP connects DaVinci Resolve to Claude AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing Claude to directly interact with and control DaVinci Resolve. This integration enables AI-assisted video editing, color grading, and timeline manipulation.

Give feedback, get inspired, and build on top of the MCP: Discord

• Two-way communication: Connect Claude AI to DaVinci Resolve through a socket-based server
• Project Management: Get project information, set project settings (resolution, frame rate, color science)
• Timeline Editing: Create timelines, add/delete clips, add transitions and effects
• Media Management: Import media files, get clip information, export completed timelines
• Color Grading: Apply and modify color grades and effects
• Markers and Annotations: Add markers to the timeline
• Code Execution: Run arbitrary Python or Lua scripts in DaVinci Resolve from Claude

The system consists of two main components:

1. DaVinci Resolve Integration (src/davinci_mcp/addon.py): Connects to DaVinci Resolve's API to send and receive commands
2. MCP Server (src/davinci_mcp/server.py): A Python server that implements the Model Context Protocol and connects to DaVinci Resolve
