Davinci Resolve Lite MCP server
What it does
An MCP server that runs inside DaVinci Resolve (Lite or Studio) on macOS and exposes control over editing, color work, media management, and Fusion title styling through 163 tools. Designed for AI clients like Claude Code to automate video editing tasks in plain language.
- Build Fusion titles and effects by describing them in plain language, which Claude translates to node graphs and styling.
- Automate video editing workflows like adding clips to the timeline, adjusting colors, or applying transitions without manual clicking.
- Query and manage media in the media pool, retrieve project metadata, and render compositions programmatically.

Before you enable it
An MCP server runs with whatever access you give it. Start with a development account rather than production, and check which tools the server exposes before you let an agent call them unattended.
