docs

docs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mrsuber/davinci-resolve-mcp. It costs 0 tokens per session (26,951 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of docs, MIT.

A reference guide for using a DaVinci Resolve MCP server, which lets an AI assistant control Resolve through its scripting interface. It explains available work areas, setup requirements, workflows, errors, and limitations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Working with Resolve projects, timelines, clips, color, Fusion compositions, audio, media, and render jobs through an AI assistant.
Why use it?
It helps an agent choose the right operation and recover from common problems instead of guessing how Resolve works. It also explains when Resolve must be running and how the free and Studio editions differ.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

docs scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

DaVinci Resolve MCP Server — AI Skill Reference

This document gives AI assistants the context needed to use the DaVinci Resolve MCP server effectively. It covers the tool landscape, page prerequisites, common workflow patterns, error recovery, and known gotchas.


What This Server Does

The DaVinci Resolve MCP server bridges AI assistants to DaVinci Resolve Studio via its official Scripting API. You can control every aspect of a post-production session — projects, timelines, clips, color grading, Fusion compositions, audio, render queues, and more — through natural language.

DaVinci Resolve must be running with Preferences > General > "External scripting using" set to Local, or set to Network with RESOLVE_SCRIPT_HOST configured to the Resolve host IP (use 127.0.0.1 on the same machine). The server auto-launches Resolve if it is not running, but that first connection can take up to 60 seconds.

Free edition. Both of those preferences are Studio features; on the free edition scriptapp("Resolve") refuses a foreign process regardless. A third transport reaches it — a script run from Workspace ▸ Scripts is handed the live resolve object on any edition and re-exports it over an authenticated loopback listener. Install with python scripts/install_resolve_bridge.py, start it from that menu, and set DAVINCI_RESOLVE_BRIDGE=1. Existing tool call sites work unchanged. Two things to know when diagnosing it:

  • Resolve lists .py scripts only when it can find a framework Python (python.org). Homebrew/pyenv/conda are not detected and the script simply never appears, with no error. The installer preflights this and ships a Lua canary, which always lists, so "Python not detected" is distinguishable from "wrong folder".
  • The in-Resolve runtime is a copy taken at install time. After changing the repository, re-run the installer and then ask the running bridge to reload — it re-imports from disk in place, so Resolve does not need restarting.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
