Setup steps:

1. Create a Python 3.11+ venv and pip install the package.
2. Install the bridge script into Resolve.
3. Add the server to Claude Desktop's config.

Safety notes:

* Resolve 21.1 moved Python menu scripting to Studio (per samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp and 2sem/davinci-resolve-lite-mcp READMEs), so free-edition bridges that rely on the Scripts menu may not work on 21.1+.
* UI-automation tools control your Mac's interface.
