Color / Grade in the DaVinci Resolve MCP — grading, correcting, shot matching, developing looks, or applying/modifying LUTs, CDLs, DRX grades, or copied grades.
Conform / Interchange in the DaVinci Resolve MCP — importing/relinking editorial, checking a conform against a reference, repairing reversed/retimed subclips, tracing grades across a re-conform, or QCing a conformed timeline.
Delivery / Deliverable QC in the DaVinci Resolve MCP — preparing render jobs, validating render settings, QCing a finished render vs spec, building render manifests, expanding texted/textless/stems deliverables, verifying media ingest, or producing a provenance/episode report.
Timeline Edit in the DaVinci Resolve MCP — cutting, trimming, pacing, duplicating/moving clips, copying ranges, building variants, tightening a cut, or generating an editorial changelist.
Media Pool / Ingest in the DaVinci Resolve MCP — importing media, building multicam timelines, organizing/relinking clips, normalizing metadata, or verifying/inventorying a card before ingest.
This is the DaVinci Resolve MCP server: a Python MCP server (34 compound tools, 341 granular in --full mode) driving Resolve via its scripting API, plus an offline Node "advanced" server (18 tools) that authors .drp/.drt/.drx files and patches the project DB with no Resolve running. Kernel coverage: 136 guarded…
