The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
delete_preview_files ~18
Premiere Pro expanded operation: delete preview files.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
delete_sequence ~30

|---|---|---|---|
| sequenceId | string | yes | The ID of the sequence to delete |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
deselect_all_clips ~21
Premiere Pro expanded operation: deselect all clips.

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
detect_scene_edits ~115
Detects scene changes in selected clips and optionally adds cuts or markers.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| action | string | – | Action to take at detected edit points |
| allowUnsafeSynchronous | boolean | – | Actually invoke Premiere scene detection synchronously; can block CEP for a long time |
| applyCutsToLinkedAudio | boolean | – | Whether to apply cuts to linked audio |
| sensitivity | string | – | Detection sensitivity (e.g., "Low", "Medium", "High") |
| sequenceId | string | yes | The ID of the sequence |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
detect_silence ~234
Analyzes a media file's audio for silent stretches using ffmpeg's silencedetect filter, run locally via child_process -- NOT via Premiere's scripting API, which has no audio-level/RMS reading capability at all (confirmed: every audio tool in this codebase only writes levels, never reads them). Requires ffmpeg on PATH; returns an explicit error if it is not found rather than failing silently. This is DETECTION ONLY -- it does not cut or modify anything. Use the returned intervals with split_clip/ripple_delete/razor_timeline_at_time if you want to remove the silence.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| mediaPath | string | – | Direct filesystem path to the media file to analyze |
| minDurationSeconds | number | – | Minimum duration in seconds for a quiet stretch to be reported as silence (default 1.5) |
| noiseThresholdDb | number | – | Silence threshold in dBFS, e.g. -30 (default -30). Audio quieter than this is considered silent. |
| projectItemId | string | – | Project item ID to resolve to a media path instead of passing mediaPath directly |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
duplicate_clip ~53
Duplicates a clip on the timeline.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| clipId | string | yes | The ID of the clip to duplicate |
| offset | number | – | Time offset in seconds for the duplicate (default: places immediately after original) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
duplicate_sequence ~137
Creates a copy of an existing sequence with a new name. Set clearContents=true to get an EMPTY copy that inherits the source sequence's exact settings (frame rate, resolution, track layout) — the reliable way to auto-create a correctly-specced blank target, since create_sequence ignores frame rate.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| clearContents | boolean | – | When true, remove all clips from the copy so it is empty but keeps the source's frame rate/resolution/track layout. Default false (full copy). |
| newName | string | yes | The name for the new sequence copy |
| sequenceId | string | yes | The ID of the sequence to duplicate |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
enable_all_clips ~153
Enable every clip on every video and audio track of the active sequence (sets disabled=false). Useful when a previous Multi-Cam edit, Lift, or manual disable left a bunch of clips muted/hidden and the user wants to restore them all at once instead of clicking each. The whole batch is a single undo entry (Ctrl+Z rolls it back). Calling on a clip that's already enabled is a no-op, so this is safe to run on any sequence — there is no 'enabled some, disabled some' mode. No arguments. The result always includes activeSequence {name, id} — the sequence this call actually ran against. Compare it across calls to detect the user switching sequences in Premiere mid-session.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
enable_disable_clip ~48
Enables or disables a clip on the timeline.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

| enabled | boolean | yes | Whether to enable (true) or disable (false) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
encode_file ~16
Premiere Pro expanded operation: encode file.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
encode_project_item ~18
Premiere Pro expanded operation: encode project item.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
execute_extendscript ~135
Run arbitrary ExtendScript inside Premiere Pro via the Scout CEP helper and return the script's string result. The QE DOM is available (app.enableQE() has been called). The script must be self-contained — each call is an independent eval with no shared state beyond Premiere's DOM. Return a JSON-shaped string for structured results. POWER TOOL: this can do anything Premiere scripting can, including destructive changes with no undo grouping — prefer the named tools when one exists, and back up the sequence before structural timeline edits.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| script | string | yes | ExtendScript source to evaluate. Its final expression's string coercion is the result. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
export_aaf ~131

| outputPath | string | yes | The absolute path where the image file will be saved |
| sequenceId | string | yes | The ID of the sequence |
| time | number | yes | The time in seconds to export the frame from |
No output schema declared.

export_markers_csv ~182
Write a CSV of every marker matching `prefix` to a file in the Scout plugin's UXP data folder. Columns: startSec, endSec, durationSec, startTimecode (HH:MM:SS), label, reason. Returns the absolute path of the written file. Common usage: prefix='Scout/Quote:' filename='scout-quotes.csv' for quote pulls, or prefix='Scout/Broll:' filename='scout-broll-cues.csv' for B-roll cues. The result always includes activeSequence {name, id} — the sequence this call actually ran against. Compare it across calls to detect the user switching sequences in Premiere mid-session.

| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| allowOverwrite | boolean | – | Allow writing to an existing output file. Defaults to false. |
| format | string | – | Deprecated hint only; the .epr preset controls codec/container. |
| outputPath | string | yes | The absolute path where the final video file will be saved |
| presetName | string | – | Exact user preset display name or filename stem. Must resolve to exactly one discovered .epr preset. |
| presetPath | string | – | Absolute path to an export preset file (.epr). Required unless presetName uniquely resolves through get_encoder_presets. |
| quality | string | – | Deprecated hint only; the .epr preset controls quality. |
| removeOnCompletion | boolean | – | Pass AME removeOnCompletion. Defaults to true to preserve existing queue behavior. |
| resolution | string | – | Deprecated hint only; the .epr preset controls resolution. |
| sequenceId | string | yes | The ID of the sequence to export |
| sourceRange | string | – | Export source range. Defaults to entire. Requested ranges are never silently substituted. |

| type | string | – | Filter by item type |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
find_words ~297
Search the active sequence's transcript for a word or phrase and get WORD-ACCURATE sequence times for each match — the MCP equivalent of clicking a word in Premiere's Text panel. Returns startSec/endSec of the matched words plus timecodes (HH:MM:SS:FF; drop-frame HH:MM:SS;FF on 29.97/59.94 sequences), surrounding context, speaker, and whether the match ends a sentence (eos - a natural cut boundary). Use this to snap marker/cut points precisely instead of relying on get_transcript's sentence-level segment starts. Matching is case- and punctuation-insensitive. Optionally restrict to a sequence-time window with startSec/endSec. Requires transcribed clips, same as get_transcript. The result always includes activeSequence {name, id} — the sequence this call actually ran against. Compare it across calls to detect the user switching sequences in Premiere mid-session.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| endSec | number | – | Optional. Only match words starting at/before this sequence time. |
| maxMatches | number | – | Optional. Max matches to return (default 8). totalMatches in the result reports the full count. |
| query | string | yes | Word or phrase to find, e.g. 'discovering this art by accident'. Multi-word queries match consecutive spoken words. |
| startSec | number | – | Optional. Only match words starting at/after this sequence time. |

How do I install the Scout for Premiere Pro MCP server?
Scout for Premiere Pro ships as an MCPB bundle, a single file you download and open in an MCP host that supports MCPB bundles, such as Claude Desktop. The host reads the launch command from the bundle's own manifest, so there is no command to copy. The MCP registry declares no SHA-256 for this bundle, so there is no published digest to check the download against.
mcpb · scout-premiere-mcp-0.3.0.mcpb
Download bundleThe MCP registry declares no SHA-256 for this bundle, so there is no published digest to check it against. Open it with an MCPB-capable host such as Claude Desktop.
What is the Scout for Premiere Pro MCP server?
Scout for Premiere Pro is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.tro2789/scout-premiere-mcp. Drive Adobe Premiere Pro from an AI agent: transcript search, markers, cuts, exports, 277 tools. This page covers its MCPB bundle (https://github.com/tro2789/scout-premiere-mcp/releases/download/v0.3.0/scout-premiere-mcp-0.3.0.mcpb).
Is the Scout for Premiere Pro MCP server safe to use?
Scout for Premiere Pro scores 48 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the Scout for Premiere Pro MCP server expose?
Scout for Premiere Pro exposes 277 tools: get_active_sequence, get_transcript, find_words, list_markers, place_markers, and 272 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 14,753 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
What did VerifyMCP test on the Scout for Premiere Pro MCP server?
VerifyMCP ran 12 checks on Scout for Premiere Pro, covering Source repository, Provenance, License, Maintenance and 8 more. 4 items could not be completed, a gap on our side rather than a finding about Scout for Premiere Pro: Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts and Dependency health. One category scores 0 for that reason, because we only credit what we can confirm. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an MCPB bundle, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
