hetpatel-11/Adobe_Premiere_Pro_MCP

npm install -g adobe-premiere-pro-mcp
premiere-pro-mcp --install-cep (installs CEP bridge, enables debug setting, configures supported local MCP clients)
premiere-pro-mcp --doctor (verifies server build, CEP installation, bridge directory, debug setting, client config)
Claude Desktop: install the matching adobe-premiere-pro-mcp-<version>.mcpb bundle from GitHub Releases

Usage

• •Restart Premiere Pro, open Window > Extensions > MCP Bridge (CEP), set the bridge directory, and start the bridge
• •First run `verify_premiere_connection` (read-only host readiness check) before editing; attach the premiere://config/get_instructions resource for operating guidance
• •Codex plugin: codex plugin marketplace add . && codex plugin add premiere-pro-mcp@adobe-premiere-pro-mcp; Claude Code plugin: /plugin marketplace add . then /plugin install
• •Example prompts: "Import these three shots and build a rough product spot", "Add cross dissolves to every cut on video track 1", "Razor the interview sequence at 12.5 seconds"

AI-driven editing of local Premiere Pro projects - ingest, assembly, timeline operations, effects, and export - from Codex, Claude Code, or Claude Desktop.

Caveats

• ⚠Requires Node.js 20+, Adobe Premiere Pro 2020+ (tested on 26.0), and Premiere Pro + MCP client + package all on the same computer
• ⚠CEP is the supported production bridge; UXP is an experimental preview and not installed by the CLI
• ⚠Self-signed CEP .zxp confirms archive integrity but is not Adobe Marketplace approval; MCPB bundle is unsigned - install only from GitHub Releases
• ⚠Premiere scripting does not expose every UI operation cleanly; get_render_queue_status only useful with Adobe Media Encoder integration; import_ae_comps intentionally not advertised (generic .aep import can wedge the bridge)
• ⚠Caption-tool read_captions notes Premiere's DOM often cannot read existing caption text; destructive operations (delete_project_item, etc.) require explicit intent
