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.
