How to Set Up and Use Adobe Premiere Pro MCP

AdobePremiereProMCP is a comprehensive MCP server that bridges AI assistants with Adobe Premiere Pro, exposing over 1,000 tools for timeline editing, color grading, audio mixing, effects application, and multi-format export. It uses a Go-based orchestrator communicating with Premiere Pro through Adobe's CEP (Common Extensibility Platform) and ExtendScript bridge, enabling natural language video production commands. Filmmakers and editors use it to automate rough cuts from scripts, apply batch color grades, handle audio post-production, and generate template-based sequences without touching the Premiere Pro UI.

Prerequisites

Adobe Premiere Pro 2020 or later installed on macOS or Windows
Go toolchain installed for building the orchestrator server from source
Node.js 16+ for the CEP panel installation step
The 'just' command runner installed (https://github.com/casey/just) for the build process
An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop

Clone the repository

Clone the AdobePremiereProMCP repository to your local machine and navigate into the project directory.

git clone https://github.com/ayushozha/AdobePremiereProMCP.git
cd AdobePremiereProMCP

Copy the environment configuration

Create your local .env file from the provided example template. Edit .env to set any required paths or preferences for your Premiere Pro installation.

cp .env.example .env

Build the Go orchestrator and install the CEP panel

Use the 'just' task runner to install dependencies, generate protobuf definitions, build the Go binary, and install the CEP panel extension into Premiere Pro.

just install
just proto
just build
just install-panel

Add the server to your MCP client configuration

Configure your MCP client to launch the built Go orchestrator binary as the MCP server using stdio transport. Point the command path to the compiled binary.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "premiere-pro": {
      "command": "./go-orchestrator/bin/server",
      "args": ["--transport", "stdio"]
    }
  }
}

Open Adobe Premiere Pro and enable the CEP panel

Launch Premiere Pro, navigate to Window > Extensions, and activate the AdobePremiereProMCP panel. This establishes the bridge between the MCP orchestrator and Premiere Pro's scripting runtime.

Restart your MCP client and verify the tools appear

Restart Claude Desktop or your preferred MCP client. The 1,000+ Premiere Pro tools should now appear. Test with a simple command to create a new sequence or list open projects.

Adobe Premiere Pro MCP Examples

Client configuration

Example claude_desktop_config.json entry for AdobePremiereProMCP using the built Go orchestrator binary with stdio transport.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "premiere-pro": {
      "command": "/path/to/AdobePremiereProMCP/go-orchestrator/bin/server",
      "args": ["--transport", "stdio"]
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Example natural language video editing commands you can give to your AI assistant after connecting the server.

- "Create a new sequence named 'Interview_Final' with 1920x1080 resolution at 24fps"
- "Apply a Lumetri Color grade to all clips in the timeline to match a warm sunset look"
- "Export the current sequence as H.264 MP4 at 10 Mbps bitrate"
- "Edit this 5-minute video using the script in script.pdf with footage from /media/"
- "Add a cross-dissolve transition between all cuts in the primary sequence"

Troubleshooting Adobe Premiere Pro MCP

The CEP panel does not appear in Premiere Pro's Extensions menu

Run 'just install-panel' again and verify the panel was copied to the correct CEP extensions directory for your OS (~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions on macOS, or %APPDATA%/Adobe/CEP/extensions on Windows). You may need to enable unsigned extensions via the Adobe debug flag.

Go orchestrator binary fails to start or exits immediately

Confirm Go 1.21+ is installed by running 'go version'. Rebuild the binary with 'just build' and check the terminal output for compilation errors. Ensure the .env file exists even if empty.

MCP tools appear but commands have no effect in Premiere Pro

Make sure Premiere Pro is running with an open project and the CEP panel is active (visible in Window > Extensions). The Go orchestrator requires the CEP bridge to be live to relay ExtendScript commands.
