Media pool ingest and organization in the DaVinci Resolve MCP.

  • Tasks that involve MCP servers
  • SKILL.md covers Two servers — verify offline,…, Offline media actions and Boundaries & safety (AGENTS.md)
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Resolve Media Pool is an agent skill from samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp. Media pool ingest and organization in the DaVinci Resolve MCP. Apply when importing media, building multicam timelines, organizing/relinking clips, normalizing metadata, setting clip marks, or verifying/inventorying a card before ingest — live in a running Resolve OR offline. Routes to the live mediapool tools and the offline media front-end tool. For reading/analyzing footage content use resolve-media-analysis; for deliverable-side media QC use resolve-delivery.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: MCP server integration for DaVinci Resolve Studio. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

  • “/resolve-media-pool”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8911bd2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Resolve Media Pool loads about 712 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 122 tokens; SKILL.md has 262 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~122
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~712

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Media pool ingest and organization in the DaVinci Resolve MCP. Apply when importing media, building multicam timelines, organizing/relinking clips, normalizing metadata, setting clip marks, or verifying/inventorying a card before ingest — live in a running Resolve OR offline. Routes to the live media_pool tools and the offline media front-end tool. For reading/analyzing footage content use resolve-media-analysis; for deliverable-side media QC use resolve-delivery.

Resolve Media Pool / Ingest

Thin router; depth stays in the kernel.

  • Live tool mechanics — docs/kernels/media-pool-ingest-kernel.md (the media_pool ingest boundary) + docs/guides/multicam-setup-guide.md.
  • Offline media front-end — resolve-advanced/README.md → the media tool.

Two servers — verify offline, import live

JobServerTools
Import / organize / relink in a running Resolvedavinci-resolve (Python, live)media_pool (`safe_import_media
Verify / inventory / hash-seal a card with no Resolve opendavinci-resolve-advanced (Node)media (needs ffmpeg + ffprobe on PATH)

Offline media actions

  • ingest_verify — hash seal / verify / dupes-by-hash (chain of custody).
  • media_inventory — fps / codec / colorspace / TC + card-gap report.
  • sync — picture↔sound TC alignment + drift / MOS.
  • relink_manifest, rename_plan (refuses camera originals) / reel_normalize, turnover_package, project_hygiene.

Rule of thumb: verify + inventory the card offline before importing, then import and organize live.

Boundaries & safety (AGENTS.md)

  • Non-media files are not imported; the kernel never creates proxies, transcodes, or derivatives of source media.
  • Native multicam clip creation/flattening is not in the public API — the setup helper preps a stacked timeline you convert in Resolve's UI (see the guide).
  • ImportMedia has no destination parameter — clips always land in the current folder, and an unrecognized destination argument is silently ignored. Create the bin, set_current_folder to it, then import. Getting this backwards puts clips wherever the current folder happened to be, which is routinely somewhere an automated step moved it.
  • MediaPoolItem.GetTimeline is 21.0.4+ (issue #131) and is not reachable through this server yet. A media-pool entry that is a timeline cannot be turned back into a timeline object on older builds — check resolve_control check_version_support rather than assuming.
  • Never rename or derive camera originals without explicit approval; rename_plan refuses them by design.
