SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the end-to-end management and automation of DaVinci Resolve MCP workflows, enabling deterministic control over projects, timelines, color grading, Fusion compositing, Fairlight audio, and render/export tasks via a local MCP server.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automate common Resolve tasks such as project creation, timeline setup, media import, color grading, Fusion, and rendering using MCP actions.
  • Orchestrate complex pipelines across pages (Color, Fusion, Fairlight) with task classification and conditional routing on a local server.
  • Real-world scenario: automatically prep a project, apply a LUT, encode a deliverable, and generate client-ready reports.

Quick Start

Connect to the local MCP server and start a Resolve workflow by loading a project, opening the color page, and creating a timeline.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate DaVinci Resolve workflows for project creation and rendering?▼

You can automate DaVinci Resolve workflows by connecting to a local MCP server with Local scripting enabled, enabling deterministic control over project creation, timeline setup, and rendering.

Can I use MCP actions to apply LUTs and manage color grading in DaVinci Resolve?▼

Yes, MCP actions can orchestrate the color page to apply LUTs and manage color grading tasks automatically as part of a local server-driven post-production pipeline.

Do I need DaVinci Resolve Studio 20 to run MCP server automation?▼

Yes, automating Resolve workflows via MCP requires Resolve Studio 20 and a locally running MCP server with Local scripting enabled to control post-production tasks.

What is DaVinci Resolve MCP workflow automation used for?▼

DaVinci Resolve MCP workflow automation provides deterministic control over post-production pipelines, orchestrating tasks across the Color, Fusion, and Fairlight pages to prep projects and deliver renders.

Can I orchestrate Fairlight audio adjustments and Fusion compositing through a local MCP server?▼

Yes, you can orchestrate complex pipelines across Fairlight audio adjustments and Fusion compositing by routing conditional tasks through a locally running MCP server.

What are the limitations of automating DaVinci Resolve with a local MCP server?▼

Automation is limited to environments running Resolve Studio 20 with a local server and Local scripting enabled, meaning remote or unsupported versions cannot execute these orchestrated MCP workflows.
