96
+ > "Please run `npx -y @hybridlabor-api/bdb-antigravity-skills@latest` to install the skills pack and configure the local MCP servers."
82
97
 
83
- ### Option 2: Using NPM / NPX (Recommended for Node users)
84
-
85
- ### ๐Ÿค– Autonomous Installation
86

104
+ During installation, the script will automatically:
105
+ * Safely handle backup and configuration merging.
106
+ * Deploy/build all local Node dependencies.
107
+ * Run a **Python dependency pre-warming phase** (using `uv run`) to fetch and cache required library bundles, ensuring your client doesn't hit timeouts on first start.
108
+ * Update your local client config (e.g. `~/.gemini/config.json`, `claude_desktop_config.json`, or Cursor configs) to reference the local servers.

16
+ ## ๐Ÿค” What Is This?
17
+
18
+ This project lets AI assistants like **Cursor**, **Claude**, or **Windsurf** control DaVinci Resolve through natural language. Instead of clicking through menus, you just *tell* the AI what to do โ€” and it does it.
19
+
20
+ Think of it like giving your AI assistant a pair of hands inside DaVinci Resolve.
21
+
22
+ ---
23
+
24
+ ## โšก What Makes This Different?
25
+
26
+ Every other DaVinci Resolve MCP server requires the **$295 Studio version** because they use "external scripting" โ€” a feature Blackmagic locks behind the paywall.
27
+
28
+ **This project works around that entirely.**
29
+
30
+ Instead of calling Resolve from the outside, a small bridge script runs *inside* Resolve (through the Scripts menu, which is available to everyone). That bridge opens a local connection, and the MCP server talks to it. Simple โ€” and it works on the Free version.
31
+
32
+ ```
33
+ Your AI Assistant (Cursor, Claude, etc.)
34
+ โ”‚
35
+ โ”‚ talks MCP
36
+ โ–ผ
37
+ resolve_mcp_bridge.py โ† runs on your machine
38
+ โ”‚
39
+ โ”‚ talks HTTP (localhost)
40
+ โ–ผ
41
+ CursorBridge.py โ† runs INSIDE Resolve (Workspace > Scripts)
42
+ โ”‚
43
+ โ–ผ
44
+ DaVinci Resolve API โ† full read + write access
45
+ ```
46
+
47
+ **155 of 162 tools work on Free.** The 7 that don't are Studio's Neural Engine features โ€” and for each one, this project includes a **free, local AI replacement** that runs on your CPU.
48
+

50
+
51
+ ## ๐Ÿง  Built-In AI That Replaces $295 Studio Features
52
+
53
+ No API keys. No cloud. No subscriptions. These run locally on your machine using open-source models:
54
+
55
+ | You'd normally need Studio for... | This gives you instead | Powered by |
56
+ |---|---|---|
57
+ | ๐ŸŽค **Voice Isolation** | Separate vocals from music/noise | [Demucs v4](https://github.com/facebookresearch/demucs) by Meta |
58
+ | โœ‚๏ธ **Background Removal** | Remove backgrounds from images & video | [rembg](https://github.com/danielgatis/rembg) + BiRefNet |
59
+ | ๐Ÿ“ **Auto Subtitles** | Transcribe audio with word-level timestamps | [faster-whisper](https://github.com/SYSTRAN/faster-whisper) (OpenAI Whisper) |
60
+
61
+ Models download automatically on first use. Everything runs on CPU โ€” no GPU required.

65
+ ## ๐ŸŽ›๏ธ 162 Tools Across Every Feature of Resolve
66
+
67
+ This isn't a demo with 5 tools. It covers the **entire** DaVinci Resolve experience:
68

87
+ ## ๐Ÿš€ Getting Started
88
+
89
+ ### What You Need
90
+
91
+ - **DaVinci Resolve 18+** (Free or Studio โ€” both work)
92
+ - **Python 3.9+** on the same machine as Resolve
93
+ - **Cursor**, Claude Desktop, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant
94
+
95
+ ### Step 1 โ€” Install the bridge script inside Resolve
96
+
97
+ Copy `src/CursorBridge.py` to your Resolve scripts folder:
98
+
99
+ | Platform | Path |
100
+ |----------|------|
101
+ | **Windows** | `%APPDATA%\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Scripts\Utility\` |
102
+ | **macOS** | `~/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Scripts/Utility/` |
103
+ | **Linux** | `~/.local/share/DaVinciResolve/Fusion/Scripts/` |
104
+
105
+ ### Step 2 โ€” Set up the MCP server
106
+
107
+ ```bash
108
+ git clone https://github.com/hiteshK03/davinci-resolve-mcp.git
109
+ cd davinci-resolve-mcp
110
+ python -m venv venv
111
+ source venv/bin/activate # Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
112
+ pip install -r requirements.txt
113
+ ```
114
+
115
+ ### Step 3 โ€” Tell your AI assistant about it
116
+
117
+ Add to your `.cursor/mcp.json` (or equivalent):
118
+
119
+ ```json
120
+ {
121
+ "mcpServers": {
122
+ "davinci-resolve": {
123
+ "command": "python",
124
+ "args": ["path/to/davinci-resolve-mcp/src/resolve_mcp_bridge.py"]
125
+ }
126
+ }
127
+ }
128
+ ```
129
+
130
+ <details>
131
+ <summary><strong>Windows + WSL setup</strong> (Cursor in WSL, Resolve on Windows)</summary>
132
+
133
+ ```json
134
+ {
135
+ "mcpServers": {
136
+ "davinci-resolve": {
137
+ "command": "cmd.exe",
138
+ "args": ["/c", "C:\\path\\to\\venv\\Scripts\\python.exe", "C:\\path\\to\\src\\resolve_mcp_bridge.py"]
139
+ }
140
+ }
141
+ }
142
+ ```
143
+ </details>
144
+
145
+ ### Step 4 โ€” Start using it
146
+
147
+ 1. Open DaVinci Resolve
148
+ 2. Go to **Workspace โ†’ Scripts โ†’ CursorBridge**
149
+ 3. Console shows: `Bridge is running (read + write)`
150
+ 4. Talk to your AI assistant โ€” it now controls Resolve
151
+

153
+
154
+ ## ๐Ÿ’ฌ Things You Can Say
155
+
156
+ ```
157
+ "What's on my timeline right now?"
158
+ "Import these files into the media pool"
159
+ "Add a green marker at 5 seconds called 'intro ends'"
160
+ "Insert a Text+ title at the playhead"
161
+ "Set the first clip on track 2 to 70% opacity"
162
+ "Zoom in clip 1 to 120% and shift it left"
163
+ "Transcribe my timeline audio"
164
+ "Isolate the vocals from my timeline"
165
+ "Remove the background from clip 1 on video track 1"
166
+ "Apply this LUT to node 1 of the current clip"
167
+ "Set up an MP4 H.265 render and start it"
168
+ "Export the timeline as FCPXML"
169
+ "Grab a still from the current frame"
170
+ ```
171
+

173
+
174
+ ## ๐Ÿ” Works With the Full Pipeline
175
+
176
+ This is one piece of a three-server video production setup:
177
+
178
+ | Server | What it does |
179
+ |--------|-------------|
180
+ | **This (DaVinci Resolve MCP)** | Controls Resolve โ€” timelines, clips, color, rendering, local AI |
181
+ | [**mcp-image-gen**](https://github.com/hiteshK03/mcp-image-gen) | Generates images locally (backgrounds, textures, overlays) โ€” no API keys |
182
+ | **Video Editor MCP** | File-based video processing (ffmpeg, overlays, transitions) โ€” no Resolve needed |
183
+
184
+ The AI assistant orchestrates across all three automatically. Generate an image โ†’ import into Resolve โ†’ place on timeline โ†’ adjust properties โ€” all from a single conversation.
185
+

187
+
188
+ ## ๐Ÿ“‹ Free vs Studio Compatibility
189
+
190
+ | Feature | Studio | Free + This Project |
191
+ |---------|--------|-------------------|
192
+ | Timeline editing, clips, markers | โœ… | โœ… |
193
+ | Color grading, LUTs, CDL | โœ… | โœ… |
194
+ | Rendering, export | โœ… | โœ… |
195
+ | Media pool, project management | โœ… | โœ… |
196
+ | Fusion compositions | โœ… | โœ… |
197
+ | Gallery & stills | โœ… | โœ… |
198

199

200

201
+ | Smart Reframe | โœ… | โŒ |
202
+ | Stabilization | โœ… | โŒ |
203
+
204
+ **155/162 tools work on Free. The 5 that don't have local AI replacements. Only 2 have no alternative (Smart Reframe, Stabilization).**
205
+
206
+ ---
207
+
208
+ ## โš ๏ธ Limitations
209
+
210
+ - **Keyframe animations** โ€” the scripting API only supports static property values, not animated keyframes
211
+ - **Fusion node parameters** โ€” text content and effect values inside compositions need the Fusion page UI
212
+ - **Transitions** โ€” must be added manually from the Effects Library
213
+ - **Background removal on video** โ€” CPU-bound, can be slow for long clips
214
+ - **Gallery stills** โ€” require being on the Color page
