Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

Control Adobe Premiere Pro from Claude/Codex using the Model Context Protocol. 170+ tools for editing, effects, captions, export, and more.

How it works

LLM ←→ MCP Server (Node.js) ←→ WebSocket ←→ CEP Panel ←→ ExtendScript ←→ Premiere Pro

Requirements

Adobe Premiere Pro 2023+ (tested on 2026)
Node.js 18+
Claude Desktop/Code or Codex
Windows

Quick Start

Automatic Install

git clone https://github.com/antipaster/Adobe-Premiere-Pro-MCP.git
cd Adobe-Premiere-Pro-MCP
install.bat

The installer will:

Enable unsigned CEP extensions (debug mode)
Symlink the CEP panel into Premiere Pro's extensions folder
Install dependencies and build
Configure Claude Desktop and Claude Code or Codex

Connect

Open Premiere Pro
Go to Window > Extensions > MCP Bridge
The panel should show "Connected"
Start Claude/Codex and use Premiere Pro tools

Configuration

Copy config.example.json to config.json and edit:

{
"port": 8097,
"elevenlabs": {
"api_key": "your-elevenlabs-api-key",
"default_voice_id": "21m00Tcm4TlvDq8ikWAM",
"default_model": "eleven_multilingual_v2"
}
}

Questions

What is the Adobe Premiere Pro MCP server?

Control Adobe Premiere Pro from Claude/Codex with 170+ editing tools via Model Context Protocol

What tools does Adobe Premiere Pro expose?

180 in total: 75 read-only, 91 that write, and 14 that can delete or overwrite (clear_all_markers, clear_project_item_in_out, clear_sequence_in_out, delete_project_items, delete_sequence). Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is Adobe Premiere Pro safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it D (69/100) and found 1 critical or high issue in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on. Separately from the audit: 14 of its tools can destroy data, so scope the token you give it to what you actually need.

What credentials does Adobe Premiere Pro need?

It reads ELEVENLABS_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does Adobe Premiere Pro run?

It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as premiere-pro-mcp at 1.0.0.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (8043e0185c8e), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
