An open-source MCP server for Adobe Premiere Pro. Automate supported timeline, media, audio, effect, caption, graphics-template, and export workflows through Claude, GPT, or another Model Context Protocol client.
Give it a script and your footage, review the proposed edit, then let it assemble a recoverable rough cut on a duplicated sequence.
"Edit this 5-minute video using script.pdf with the footage in /media/"
The server can parse a script, scan media, generate an edit decision list, and assemble a Premiere Pro timeline. Mutations are checked with timeline/DOM readback where the host API exposes it.
Why This Exists
Video editors spend hours on repetitive tasks: syncing clips, rough cuts, color matching, audio leveling, exporting variants. This MCP server turns Adobe Premiere Pro into an AI-controllable tool, so you can describe edits in plain English and let your AI assistant execute them.
No separate MCP subscription. Local CEP bridge. Fully open source.
Capabilities and Verification Boundary
The source registry contains 1,066 MCP tool schemas backed by 935 literal host command names. The default standard profile exposes 74 curated, readback-first tools,

Questions
What is the Adobe Premiere Pro MCP server?
An open-source bridge between AI assistants and Adobe Premiere Pro, for supported editing workflows. Go, Rust, Python, and TypeScript.
What tools does Adobe Premiere Pro expose?
8 in total: 7 read-only, 1 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. 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 2 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.
What credentials does Adobe Premiere Pro need?
It reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, BRIDGE_CEP_TOKEN, MCP_CEP_TOKEN, OPENAI_API_KEY and PREMIERE_MCP_TOKEN_FILE 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 current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (11b5f5a28f5f), read on 2026-10-07. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
