Best for
  • Video editing and post-production professionals
  • Colorists using DaVinci Resolve Studio
  • Assistant editors needing workflow automation
  • Teams wanting to integrate AI assistants for media management
  • Biomedical researchers
  • Clinicians
  • AI agents that need efficient access to biomedical literature and data analysis
Not for
  • Users relying solely on the free edition of DaVinci Resolve (requires bridge, may be unstable)
  • Those needing a network service or server-side deployment (local stdio only)
  • Those wanting automatic selection of the best take (not provided)
  • Those wanting automatic cutting to music (not provided)
  • Users needing to write to upstream databases (read-only)
  • Users requiring direct access to closed datasets (e.g., COSMIC is not directly integrated)
  • Users expecting all advanced features without API keys
Required permissions
  • Launch and control DaVinci Resolve application
  • Read and write Resolve project database
  • Read and write local media files (for analysis)
  • Perform destructive actions (with confirmation)
  • Execute external commands (e.g., ffmpeg)
  • Requires internet access to query public biomedical APIs
  • Optional API keys (NCBI, Semantic Scholar, OpenFDA, etc.) to improve rate limits or unlock features
  • Local read/write access for skills, cache, and local study data (e.g., `~/.local/share/biomcp`)
Risks and side effects
  • May modify project data; ensure backups
  • Analysis tools do not modify source media, but may write metadata
  • Destructive operations require caution
  • Free edition bridge may be closed by Blackmagic
  • Upstream API rate limits may affect performance
  • Some data sources (e.g., KEGG) have licensing terms that restrict non-academic use
  • Features requiring API keys (e.g., OncoKB) may be incomplete without them
  • Local binary installations need regular updates for compatibility
