Enables AI assistants to control DaVinci Resolve Studio through the official Scripting API, with full API coverage plus workflow helpers for editing, grading, Fusion, Fairlight, and project lifecycle tasks. Includes a compound tool mode for low context usage, a granular 341-tool mode, a local control panel, and an optional advanced offline server for working with Resolve project files.

M8ven verifies MCPs across every public registry — install directly from whichever one you prefer.
Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
376/376 tools missing one or more hints — setup (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); resolve_control (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); layout_presets (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +373 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.
For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.
Destructive tools are labelled
6 tools perform destructive updates without destructiveHint — gallery_stills deletes at line 23344 (os.remove(f["path"])); fusion_comp deletes at line 24859 (os.remove(settings_path)); fuse_plugin deletes at line 25090 (os.unlink(path))
Add destructiveHint:true to any tool whose handler calls .delete(), .upsert(), .update(), unlink, rm, DELETE, DROP, REPLACE INTO, or any operation that overwrites existing data.
Tool inputs are validated
323/375 tool handlers declare input schemas (86%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Tool handlers catch errors
Only 50/375 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (13%)
Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.
Tool test coverage
Only 2/376 tools referenced in tests (1%)
Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.
No access to sensitive paths
Reads sensitive paths: ~/.config/davinci-resolve-mcp/host-model-probe.json, ~/.config/davinci-resolve-mcp
Remove reads of sensitive system paths. If you genuinely need them, document why in the README.
Shell command execution
23 child_process calls — runs shell commands
Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.
Production dependencies are patched
0 critical, 1 high severity in production deps — adm-zip@0.5.16 (high), uuid@9.0.0 (low)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
Dependency freshness
2/8 production deps stale: fzstd@2024-03-15 (2.4y), zstd-codec@2024-07-27 (2y)

Add it once and ask Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client to grade a server, surface CVEs, check the publisher, and suggest safer alternatives — before you install.
