Overview

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

Operate local Adobe Premiere Pro projects through MCP.

283 Premiere tools behind search_tools / invoke_tool, 13 context resources, and 10 guided prompts for Codex, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients. CEP is the supported production bridge; UXP remains experimental.

Exposed tools (145)

90 read · 51 write · 4 destructive. Blast radius: 4 tools can delete or overwrite — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling this one.

Tool	Risk	Description
`add_audio_keyframes`	write	Adds keyframes to audio levels for dynamic volume changes.
`add_keyframe`	write	Adds a keyframe to a clip component parameter at a specific time.
`add_marker`	write	Adds a marker to the specified sequence for navigation or notes. The sequence does not have to be the active one.
`add_text_overlay`	write	Adds a text overlay from a Motion Graphics Template. Premiere cannot create titles from text alone — mogrtPath is required (a .mogrt file). Without it this tool fails immediately and must not be retried. Supports up to 4 text fields (text, text2, text3, text4) on the Nth AE.ADBE Text component.
`add_to_render_queue`	write	Adds a sequence to the Adobe Media Encoder render queue.
`add_to_timeline`	write	Adds a media clip from the project panel to a sequence timeline at a specific track and time.
`add_track`	write	Adds a new video or audio track to the sequence.
`add_transition`	write	Adds a transition (e.g., cross dissolve) between two adjacent clips on the timeline.
`add_transition_to_clip`	write	Adds a transition to the beginning or end of a single clip. Check status and verified in the result: accepted_unverified means Premiere accepted the command but inspection could not prove the edit, so do not retry automatically.
`adjust_audio_levels`	read	Adjusts the volume (gain) of an audio clip on the timeline.
`apply_audio_effect`	write	Applies an audio effect to a clip.
`apply_audio_effect_to_all_clips`	write	Bulk: applies a single audio effect to ALL audio clips of a sequence in one ExtendScript call. Returns per-clip results. Saves N MCP roundtrips when calibrating or applying same chain.
`apply_effect`	write	Applies a visual or audio effect to a clip, identifies the exact newly created component, and verifies parameter readbacks.
`apply_lut`	write	Applies a Look-Up Table (LUT) to a clip for color grading.
`assemble_product_spot`	read	Builds a production-oriented promo timeline from real media assets. Supports either template defaults or an explicit clipPlan for LLM-directed pacing, transitions, motion, trims, and per-clip effects.

Questions

What is the Premiere Pro Automation MCP server?

Adobe Premiere Pro MCP. Tools for AI-driven video editing via MCP, for Codex, Claude, and other MCP clients.

What tools does Premiere Pro Automation expose?

145 in total: 90 read-only, 51 that write, and 4 that can delete or overwrite (delete_marker, delete_sequence, remove_from_timeline, remove_keyframe). Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is Premiere Pro Automation 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. Separately from the audit: 4 of its tools can destroy data, so scope the token you give it to what you actually need.

What credentials does Premiere Pro Automation need?

It reads ZXP_CERT_PASSWORD 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 (ab2e35d2da91), read on 2026-10-01. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
