MCP for Adobe Premiere Pro MCP Server

Local-first MCP for supported Adobe Premiere Pro workflows; start with a read-only connection check.

Publisher claimed. No tool list reported, and Pod has not connected to this server.

Status

Pod has not dialled MCP for Adobe Premiere Pro yet, so everything on this page is what its publisher reported rather than what we observed. Registries describe servers; they do not connect to them. Until a check runs, treat the tool list below as a claim.

Connect

Published as premiere-pro-mcp on npm. Runs locally.

Most discussed

4 issues found building a real edit: setSpeed broken, no native transitions, opacity keyframes silently ignored at render, AME preset scan misses installed presets

Environment

  • premiere-pro-mcp installed via npm install -g premiere-pro-mcp (CEP bridge, --install-cep)
  • Adobe Premiere Pro 2026 (26.3.2), macOS
  • Node 22.22.0
  • UI language: pt-BR

Summary

While building a real ~60s vertical edit (12 clips, color grade, transitions, animated text) I hit four separate issues. Filing them together since they were all found in the same session with full repro steps. Happy to share the .prproj / logs if useful.

1. All three "change clip…

[Bug] set_sequence_audio_settings and set_sequence_frame_rate write inverted units into Time-typed fields

Description

Both tools accept an intuitive rate value (Hz for audio sample rate, fps for frame rate) but write it into a Premiere Time object field that actually expects a duration in seconds — the reciprocal of what's passed. This silently corrupts sequence settings with no error thrown either way. set_sequence_frame_rate is the more serious of the two: its own input validation (rejecting values outside 1–240) then blocks supplying the reciprocal needed to recover, so a sequence's frame…

[Bug] Project-panel delete tools and sequence-nesting tools do not perform the operation they report

Description

Two related clusters of tools report success without performing the claimed structural change:

  1. delete_project_item, delete_multiple_project_items, delete_sequence, and delete_bin all report a deleted count of 0 or otherwise fail to remove the target project item/bin/sequence.
  2. nest_clips and create_subsequence both genuinely create a new sequence containing the selected clip(s), but neither one replaces the original clip(s) on the timeline with a reference to that new…

[Tool]: Four tools fail with "Not Enough Parameters" when called with all documented arguments

Tool name

auto_reframe_sequence (reproduces identically on set_anti_alias_quality, set_sequence_pixel_aspect_ratio, clear_sequence_in_out, create_bars_and_tone — filing together since all five share the identical error signature and likely one root cause)

[Tool]: get_render_queue_status reports isRunning:"unknown" instead of a capability error -- app.encoder exposes no queue-status API on this host

Tool name

get_render_queue_status

Premiere Pro MCP version

1.14.9

Premiere Pro version

26.3.2 build 2

Reported backend

CEP / ExtendScript

Expected observable result

get_render_queue_status should either return a genuine running/idle state backed by a real host API, or fail with a clear capability error naming the missing method -- not a plausible-looking "unknown" string that reads as a legitimate status value.

[Tool]: add_tracks (QE.addTracks) silently inserts new tracks at index 0 and shifts every existing track, regardless of requested position

Tool name

add_tracks

Premiere Pro MCP version

1.14.9

Premiere Pro version

26.3.2 build 2

Reported backend

CEP / ExtendScript

Expected observable result

When add_tracks genuinely creates new tracks (the false-success failure mode reported and fixed in #128/#131), the new tracks should land at the requested position, and existing tracks/clips should stay at their original indices unless the caller specifically requested an insert-before-existing behavior. A count-only…

Premiere Pro MCP version

1.14.9

Premiere Pro version

26.3.2 build 2

Reported backend

CEP / ExtendScript

Expected observable result

import_ae_comps should only report success when the referenced After Effects project file genuinely exists and at least one composition was actually added to the target bin -- verifiable via an independent bin item-count check, not just the tool's own return value.

[Tool]: set_effect_property cannot set 2D vector properties (Position, Anchor Point) -- schema only accepts number|string, and readback uses strict equality on arrays

Tool name

Reported backend

CEP / ExtendScript

Expected observable result

Setting a 2D vector effect property (for example Motion > Position, or Anchor Point, which Premiere's object model stores as an [x, y] array) via set_effect_property should either succeed and be independently verifiable via get_effect_properties, or fail with a clear, specific error -- not silently no-op or…

[Tool]: undo throws ReferenceError and redo reports unverified success -- the #272/#281 undo-stack capability fix was not applied to these two tools

Tool name

undo, redo

Premiere Pro MCP version

1.14.9

Premiere Pro version

26.3.2 build 2

Reported backend

CEP / ExtendScript

Expected observable result

undo should reverse the most recently confirmed mutation and report success only when it did, or fail closed with an honest capability error naming the missing host API. redo should behave symmetrically. Neither result should be a bare, unverifiable success/failure.

Tool name

attach_custom_property

Premiere Pro MCP version

1.14.9

Premiere Pro version

Reported backend

CEP / ExtendScript

Expected observable result

attach_custom_property should either succeed and cause the property to actually appear when the clip's XMP metadata is independently read back (e.g. via get_xmp_metadata or a direct panel/metadata read), or fail with an error reflecting that it did not persist.

manage_sequences_uxp should accept its own documented required parameters (sequence_id and/or name, per the tool schema) for its list/rename/other actions against a real, open project with real sequences.
