Let AI agents and scripts control the editor

Applies to 0.11Updated 29 Oct 20261 min read

In Settings › AI and Automation, turn on "Allow AI agents and scripts to control VLPremiere Pro", then copy the config for your MCP client.

AI assistants and your own scripts can read the project and the transcript, import media, build and trim a cut, and add titles, captions and effects.

1. Open Settings › AI and Automation.
2. Turn on Allow AI agents and scripts to control VLPremiere Pro.
3. Press Copy MCP Client Config (Claude Code, Cursor) or Copy Claude Desktop Config, and paste it into your client's settings.

• Save API Guide… saves a readable list of every command.
• Copy curl Example gives a first request to try from Terminal.
• New Token… replaces the access token. Every connected client then needs the new one.

Safe by design

• The API listens on this Mac only (127.0.0.1). Nothing is reachable from the network.
• Every request needs the access token.
• Every change an agent makes can be undone, and locked tracks stay untouched.
