Full changelog

v2.23.0

v2.23.0 adds the first npm installer, a local control panel, durable
media-analysis jobs, and a searchable SQLite analysis index while keeping the
existing Python installer as the source of truth.

Added

  • Added the davinci-resolve-mcp npm package and CLI:
    setup, doctor, server, control-panel, --help, and --version.
  • Added managed per-user npm installs that copy packaged source into a stable
    application-data directory before running install.py.
  • Added the local single-user control panel for Resolve/server status,
    source-safe media-analysis jobs, analysis search, and preferences.
  • Added durable media-analysis job actions:
    start_batch_job, run_batch_job_slice, batch_job_status,
    list_batch_jobs, cancel_batch_job, and resume_batch_job.
  • Added analysis index actions:
    build_index, index_status, and query_index.
  • Added npm package-content filtering and a GitHub Actions npm publish workflow
    using OIDC/provenance.

Changed

  • Bumped version surfaces to 2.23.0.
  • Updated the README quick start to npx davinci-resolve-mcp setup.
  • Tightened installer Python validation to require Python 3.10-3.12, matching
    the documented Resolve scripting compatibility range.
  • Updated release validation to include npm CLI smoke tests and
    npm pack --dry-run.
  • Made the npm publish workflow skip publishing when the package version already
    exists, so a first manual npm registration can coexist with tag automation.

Validation

  • venv/bin/python tests/test_import.py
  • venv/bin/python scripts/audit_api_parity.py
  • venv/bin/python -m unittest tests.test_media_analysis tests.test_update_check tests.test_media_pool_ingest_probe
  • npm run smoke
  • DAVINCI_RESOLVE_MCP_INSTALL_ROOT=/private/tmp/davinci-resolve-mcp-npm-smoke node bin/davinci-resolve-mcp.mjs setup --dry-run --no-venv --clients manual --update-policy never
  • node bin/davinci-resolve-mcp.mjs doctor --update-policy never
  • npm pack --dry-run
  • git diff --check

Notes

  • The npm package is npm-only for v1; PyPI remains deferred because
    davinci-resolve-mcp is already owned by another PyPI project.
  • Analysis job and index artifacts remain under the configured
    davinci-resolve-mcp-analysis project root and do not store sampled image
    bytes in SQLite.
