You: "Replace the b-roll at 13:22 with the South Pole takeoff shot"
Claude: Done. Replaced AOA_CLIP_04 with A663C012_SOUTH_POLE_TAKE_OFF on V2.
Same position, same duration, video only — your interview audio is untouched.
An MCP server that connects Claude to a running DaVinci Resolve instance. 53 tools across 11 categories give Claude full read/write access to your projects, timelines, media pool, color page, and render queue — plus AI-powered frame analysis via Moondream.
This isn't a toy. It edits. It replaced a clip on a multi-track documentary timeline, matched the duration, preserved the audio, and exported the result for YouTube. All through conversation.
"Open the tutorial project"
"Switch to the Full Documentary timeline"
"What clips are on V2?"
"Replace clip 2 on V2 with the milky way shot"
"Zoom in to 120% on the interview clip"
"Add a blue marker here that says 'Great take'"
"Export this for YouTube"
"What's in this frame?"
→ A wide shot of a beach in St. Maarten with an airplane on final approach,
turquoise water, and spectators watching from behind a chain-link fence.
"Is there a person at the podium?"
→ Yes, there is a person standing at the podium on the left side of the frame.
"How many people are visible?"
→ 4
The server runs over HTTP with a Cloudflare tunnel, so you can edit from your couch, your car, or another continent. Same tools, same capabilities — just talking to Claude on your phone.
