Premiere Pro MCP (execute-script)

Exposes a single execute-script tool: the model writes JavaScript against the Premiere Pro UXP API on the fly, so anything the API can do is reachable.

How to set it up

  1. Install Node.js 18+ and Adobe UXP Developer Tool (Creative Cloud).
  2. In UXP Developer Tool, Add Plugin > src/plugin/manifest.json and load it.
  3. Register the server in your MCP client.

This is a plain-English summary of the project's own instructions. Commands and versions change, so always follow the current README at the source link.

Safety notes

  • Runs arbitrary JavaScript generated by the model inside Premiere. Use on copies.
  • UXP Developer Tool must stay open while in use.

General rule: open a duplicate of your project before letting any agent make changes, and read what a script does before approving it.
