davinci-resolve-mcp is an MCP server that lets AI assistants control DaVinci Resolve Studio through its scripting API, including editing, media organization, rendering, grading, and other project tasks. It is for users who want agents to operate Resolve and inspect media through a local control panel. The catalogue entries support agent workflows for this Resolve integration.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00108 | $0.02160 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00054 | $0.01080 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00432 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00216 |
Grade A, and why
resolve-conform 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 yesterday.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 147 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Resolve Conform / Interchange
Bridges online-editing / finishing craft to this repo's tools.
- Craft / finishing — the global
online-editorskill (conform, relink, finishing philosophy in Resolve and Flame). Use for how a finishing editor thinks, not tool mechanics. - Live tool mechanics —
docs/kernels/timeline-conform-interchange-kernel.md(thetimelineconform/interchange boundary). - Offline conform engine —
resolve-advanced/README.md→conform,color_trace,offline_ref,editorial,drt,project_db.
No Resolve? The work does not have to stop
timeline author_offline writes an importable timeline (drt / otio / edl) from a
file-path clip plan without any connection, and every not-connected error now carries an
offline_alternative block pointing at it.
Say plainly what happened: the live operation failed and a file was written — the
timeline is not in a project until someone imports it. Read the warnings back too.
media_tc_origin_assumed is the one that matters: OTIO source frames are
timecode-absolute, and an event without media_start_tc_frame imports as an empty
timeline with no error at all.
Default to drt (Resolve-native, project version 17 / Resolve 21.0 — older builds need
drt downgrade). Pick otio when the plan carries retimes; a .drt flattens them.
Two servers
| Job | Server | Tools |
|---|---|---|
| Import / relink / compare a running conform | davinci-resolve (Python, live) |
timeline (conform actions), media_pool (safe_relink, safe_import_sequence) |
Conform QC math, reverse-clip repair, lineage, grade tracing, .drt/.drp/DB edits with no Resolve open |
davinci-resolve-advanced (Node) |
conform, color_trace, offline_ref, editorial, drt, project_db |
What this build cannot do (check before you offer it)
The scripting API changes per patch release, so "Resolve 21" is not a usable
label. Read resolve_control get_version → build.unavailable_on_this_build
before offering a gated surface; check_version_support asks about one named
symbol. Gated on the relink/media side this domain leans on:
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.

resolve-conform is a skill published in the GitHub repository samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp (2,622 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 108 tokens to every session and 2,160 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
