Scout for Premiere Pro: MCP server
Scout is a commercial extension for Adobe Premiere Pro (Windows, Premiere 26.2 or newer). It cuts multi-camera podcasts from the audio and connects AI agents to your timeline over the Model Context Protocol.
This repository hosts the MCP bridge as a downloadable bundle and is the public issue tracker for Scout. The extension's source code is not public.

What the server exposes
The bridge talks to the Scout panel running inside Premiere. It exposes two tool families on one MCP surface:
Panel tools (11). These read Premiere's own transcript and act on the active sequence.
ExtendScript tools (266). Effects, transitions, exports, project and bin management, track targeting, metadata, and more. Adapted from the MIT-licensed adobe-premiere-pro-mcp tool layer; see THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.md. The full reference is in TOOLS.md.
Install
Scout's Windows installer registers the bridge with Claude Code automatically when the claude CLI is present. For other clients:
Claude Desktop. Download scout-premiere-mcp-.mcpb from Releases and open it. Claude Desktop installs it as an extension.
Claude Code, Cursor, and other stdio clients. Point the client at the installed executable:
claude mcp add scout --scope user -- "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Scout\scout-premiere-mcp.exe"Then open the Scout panel in Premiere and turn on Enable MCP Server. The panel shows a live connection indicator and a log of every tool call.
Running the bundle directly
server/index.cjs is the same single-file build that ships inside the .mcpb (sha256 52fbc2dbe35ebbee1135db726d3c2fb78819027c574e84078cebab8603362a41). Any MCP client can launch it with Node 18 or newer:
node server/index.cjsThe Dockerfile builds an image that runs it over stdio. Without Premiere and the Scout panel on the same machine the server still starts and lists its tools; calls that need the panel return a "panel not connected" error.
Requirements
- Windows 10 or 11
- Adobe Premiere Pro 26.2 or newer with the Scout extension installed and licensed
- Scout's MCP server enabled in the panel
- Transcripts: run Premiere's own Transcribe on the sequence first. gettranscript and findwords read that transcript; no external transcription service is involved.
