Claude MCP server that runs inside DaVinci Resolve Free — the no-cost edition that doesn't have the Studio Python scripting API. FCPXML export + Lua console snippets + macOS UI automation.

개요

No Studio license required, no API key required. ℹ️ DaVinci Resolve ships in two editions — (no cost) and (~$295 one-time license). Studio exposes a Python scripting API for automation; Free does not — and since , so MCP servers that drive Free through Python stop working there. This project gets Claude-driven editing working in , through a Lua bridge that runs inside Resolve (verified on 20.3; written for 21.1's restricted Lua, not yet tried on a 21.1 install) plus FCPXML and UI automation: Every Resolve action picks the best channel by itself — Studio API, then the live bridge, then paste-able Lua — and tells Claude which one it used. If you only have the free Blackmagic download — this is for you. Requirements that should already be on the machine: - Python 3.11+ - ffmpeg + ffprobe (brew install ffmpeg · winget install ffmpeg · apt install ffmpeg) - DaVinci Resolve (Free or Studio) — the download from blackmagicdesign.com.

DaVinci Resolve MCP — Works in DaVinci Resolve Free

Claude-driven video editing that runs in DaVinci Resolve Free — the no-cost edition that Blackmagic ships at $0. No Studio license required, no API key required.

ℹ️ What “free” means here: DaVinci Resolve ships in two editions — Free (no cost) and Studio (~$295 one-time license). Studio exposes a Python scripting API for automation; Free does not — and since Resolve 21.1, Python scripting (and Resolve’s own MCP server) are Studio-only, so MCP servers that drive Free through Python stop working there. This project gets Claude-driven editing working in Resolve Free too, through a Lua bridge that runs inside Resolve (verified on 20.3; written for 21.1’s restricted Lua, not yet tried on a 21.1 install) plus FCPXML and UI automation:

Channel What it does Free Studio
Live Lua bridge Claude reads and changes the open project directly: import media, build and change timelines clip by clip, import timelines, add markers, color clips, apply LUTs, queue renders, run any Lua ✅ ✅
FCPXML export Build a rough cut outside Resolve, import via File > Import > Timeline (or automatically through the bridge) ✅ ✅
Lua snippets Ready-to-paste Console snippets when nothing live is connected ✅ ✅
UI automation (macOS) Page switching, menu items, Magic Mask & other AI tools via the Accessibility API; screenshots of the Resolve window ✅ ✅
Python scripting API Direct DaVinciResolveScript control ❌ ✅

Every Resolve action picks the best channel by itself — Studio API, then the live bridge, then paste-able Lua — and tells Claude which one it used.

If you only have the free Blackmagic download — this is for you.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/emircbngl/davinci-resolve-mcp-free.git
cd davinci-resolve-mcp-free
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate          # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -e ".[transcribe,ui]"  # Apple Silicon
# pip install -e ".[transcribe-cpu]"   # Windows / Linux / Intel Mac (faster-whisper)

Requirements that should already be on the machine:

  • Python 3.11+
  • ffmpeg + ffprobe (brew install ffmpeg · winget install ffmpeg · apt install ffmpeg)
  • DaVinci Resolve (Free or Studio) — the download from blackmagicdesign.com. The Mac App Store build is sandboxed and cannot talk to the bridge.
  • macOS 12+ for the UI-automation tools; everything else also runs on Windows and Linux.

Connecting Claude
