Premiere Pro MCP Server

Give AI full control over Adobe Premiere Pro.

269 tools across 28 modules — the most comprehensive MCP server for video editing.

What is this?

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants like Claude, Windsurf, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client directly control Adobe Premiere Pro — importing media, editing timelines, applying effects, managing keyframes, exporting, and more.

"Add the B-roll clips to V2, apply a cross dissolve between each, color correct them to match the A-roll, and export a 1080p ProRes."

The AI handles the entire workflow through 269 tools that cover nearly every ExtendScript and QE DOM API available in Premiere Pro.

Quick Start

1. Install

Option A — npm (recommended):

npm install -g premiere-pro-mcp

Option B — Clone from source:

git clone https://github.com/ppmcp/premiere-pro-mcp.git
cd premiere-pro-mcp
npm install
npm run build

2. Install the CEP plugin

If installed via npm:

This symlinks the plugin into Premiere Pro's extensions folder and enables debug mode.

Manual installation (macOS)

mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions

  defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.$v PlayerDebugMode 1
done

Manual installation (Windows)

Copy the cep-plugin folder to %APPDATA%\Adobe\CEP\extensions\MCPBridgeCEP
