Sommaire
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.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
get_active_sequence | Name, frame rate, duration, start timecode, per-track summary |
get_transcript | Full stitched transcript with sequence-time segments, optional time window |
find_words | Word-accurate search: exact sequence times and timecodes for each match |
list_markers | Markers with name, comment, start, duration, type, color; optional prefix filter |
place_markers | Add point or duration markers, with color |
remove_markers | Remove markers by prefix or by exact start time |
apply_cleanup | Lift or Extract every Scout/Cleanup: range, after backing up the sequence |
create_chapter_markers | Convert duration markers into chapter-type point markers |
export_markers_csv | Write a CSV of markers matching a prefix |
razor_at | Cut tracks at exact sequence times; reversible with undo |
enable_all_clips | Re-enable every clip on every track in one undo step |
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-<version>.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.
get_transcriptandfind_wordsread that transcript; no external transcription service is involved.
Privacy Policy
The bridge runs entirely on your machine. It relays tool calls between your MCP client and the Scout panel over a localhost WebSocket (port 18803 by default) and makes no network requests of its own. Transcript text and sequence data go only to the MCP client you connected. Scout's in-panel AI Analysis feature is separate and uses whichever AI provider you configure in the panel.
