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

What it solves

Video editing in Premiere Pro is normally done by hand, clicking through menus and panels. This project bridges that gap by letting AI assistants like Codex, Claude Code, or Claude Desktop operate directly on your local Premiere projects. Instead of manual steps, you can ask an AI to import media, build sequences, cut clips, apply effects, or export — all through a standard MCP (Model Context Protocol) connection.

How it works

The system has three parts: your AI client, a Node.js MCP server, and a CEP panel that runs inside Premiere Pro. When the AI calls a tool (like "add a cross dissolve"), the Node server generates a small script, writes it to a temporary folder, the CEP panel picks it up and executes it in Premiere, then returns the result as structured JSON. The server exposes a catalog of 283 tools, plus 13 context resources and 10 guided prompts. You install the bridge once, restart Premiere, open the CEP panel, and verify the connection with a read-only check before any edits.

Who it's for

Video editors who want to speed up repetitive tasks with AI, developers building automated editing workflows, and anyone using MCP-compatible clients (Codex, Claude Code, Claude Desktop) who also work in Premiere Pro. Requirements: Node.js 20+, Premiere Pro 2020+, and all components running on the same computer.

Highlights

  • 283 catalog tools covering project setup, media ingest, timeline editing, effects, keyframes, captions, audio, color, exports, and more.
  • High-level workflow tools like assembling a product spot or building a motion-graphics demo, with optional LLM-directed clip plans.
  • An agent skill that teaches AI assistants how to install, verify, and safely use the bridge.
  • Read-only verification (verify_premiere_connection) and a --doctor command to diagnose installation issues.
  • Works with Codex, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients via simple JSON config.
  • The CEP bridge is production-ready; the UXP panel is experimental and not installed by default.
