Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00000 | $0.26951 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.13475 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.05390 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.02695 |
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.
This is a copy
86% identical to docs — 489 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 1,960 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
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
.pyscripts 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.
What ships with it
60 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

docs is a skill published in the GitHub repository mrsuber/davinci-resolve-mcp (0 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 26,951 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 86% identical to docs, differing in 489 lines, and is treated as a copy.
