# Premiere Pro MCP and Claude integrations Premiere connectors talk to the app through Adobe's CEP (ExtendScript) panels or the newer UXP plugin system. CEP bridges are more mature today. UXP ones usually need Adobe's free UXP Developer Tool open while you work. Last checked 2026-10-17. 10 tools. ## What is a Premiere Pro MCP server? It's a bridge that lets an AI assistant read and edit your Premiere Pro project through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Most talk to Premiere through a CEP panel running ExtendScript. Newer ones use Adobe's UXP plugin system and usually need Adobe's free UXP Developer Tool open while you work ## Premiere Pro tools compared | Tool | Type | Setup | Supported versions | Price | License | GitHub stars | Last updated | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | [adb-mcp (Photoshop + Premiere)](https://agentcut.dev/tools/adb-mcp-photoshop-premiere/) | MCP server + UXP plugin | hard | Photoshop 26.0+ (Premiere version see README); Python 3 | free | MIT | 726 | 2026-07-08 | | [MCP Bridge for Adobe Premiere Pro](https://agentcut.dev/tools/mcp-bridge-for-adobe-premiere-pro/) | MCP server + CEP panel | medium | Node.js 20+; CEP bridge supported, UXP experimental; Premiere version not stated | free | MIT | 712 | 2026-10-13 | | [MCP for Adobe Premiere Pro (leancoderkavy)](https://agentcut.dev/tools/mcp-for-adobe-premiere-pro-leancoderkavy/) | MCP server | medium | Premiere Pro 2020-2026 on Windows and macOS | free | MIT | 400 | 2026-10-17 | | [PremierPro MCP Server (ayushozha)](https://agentcut.dev/tools/premierpro-mcp-server-ayushozha/) | MCP server | hard | Targets Premiere 23.x-26.x; 26.5.2 tested on macOS arm64 for 8 core workflows; broader matrix pending | free | MIT | 123 | 2026-10-05 | | [podcli](https://agentcut.dev/tools/podcli/) | CLI + MCP server | easy | macOS (Apple Silicon), Linux, Windows x64 | free | AGPL-3.0 | 78 | 2026-10-17 | | [Premiere Pro MCP Server (170+ tools)](https://agentcut.dev/tools/premiere-pro-mcp-server-170-tools/) | MCP server + CEP panel | medium | Premiere Pro 2023+ (tested on 2026); Node.js 18+; Windows only | free | MIT | 38 | 2026-08-25 | | [Premiere Pro MCP (PPMCP)](https://agentcut.dev/tools/premiere-pro-mcp-ppmcp/) | MCP server + UXP panel | medium | Windows setup via PowerShell; Node 18+ if building from source; Premiere version not stated | free | MIT | 5 | 2026-10-15 | | [Premiere Pro MCP (execute-script)](https://agentcut.dev/tools/premiere-pro-mcp-execute-script/) | MCP server + UXP plugin | medium | Premiere Pro 2025 (v25.3.0+); Node.js 18+ | free | unknown | 5 | 2026-02-10 | | [Jumper (MCP for footage search)](https://agentcut.dev/tools/jumper-mcp/) | Commercial app (local MCP) | easy | macOS and Windows; Final Cut is export-only (no live round trip) | paid | proprietary | n/a | unknown | | [EditAssist (MCP)](https://agentcut.dev/tools/editassist-mcp/) | Commercial app (local MCP) | easy | unknown | unknown | proprietary | n/a | unknown | ## Questions ### How many Premiere Pro tools does AgentCut list? 10 as of 2026-10-17: 8 free, 1 paid and 1 with unclear pricing ### Which Premiere Pro tool is easiest to set up? podcli, Jumper (MCP for footage search) and EditAssist (MCP) are rated easy setup.
