Overview

This server provides structured control over Adobe Premiere Pro, enabling AI assistants to execute complex editing workflows. It exposes 369 core tools across 53 modules and 17 guided workflows, allowing for fine-grained interaction with project bins and render handoffs. Built with TypeScript and supporting Node.js 20.19+, it includes a connected UXP host that adds 93 capability-gated tools. The project has been tested for After Effects render handoffs, providing automated import receipts and file validation.

Our verdict

With a security score of 48/100, this server is classified as high risk. The rating is primarily due to the fact that its authentication methods and read-only mode support have not yet been editorially reviewed. While it offers extensive automation, users should exercise caution as it is a community-maintained project rather than an official Adobe integration, making it better suited for power users and developers rather than sensitive corporate environments.

Supports 369 core tools across 53 distinct modules.
Small dependency footprint with only eight direct dependencies.
Active development with the most recent commit occurring today.
Includes documentation for After Effects render handoff workflows.

Authentication methods have not undergone a security review.
Community-maintained project lacking official Adobe vendor support.
Read-only mode implementation is currently unverified.

Setup

Claude Desktop

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "premiere-pro-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "premiere-pro-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows), then restart Claude Desktop. Some servers require API keys or tokens as environment variables — check the project's README and add an "env" object if needed.

No read-only mode — running this grants full read/write access.
No built-in authentication — anyone with access to this config can invoke every tool it exposes.
