Bump the package version in pyproject.toml and publish to PyPI. Handles version increment, git tag, build, and upload in one step.
Project conventions and patterns for resolve-mcp development. Explains tool registration, error handling, module organization, and naming rules.
AI-powered color grading assistant. Exports the current frame in sRGB, visually analyzes it, and makes CDL adjustments directly on the Color page nodes. Works regardless of project color space (HDR, P3, ACES, etc.) because the frame is converted to sRGB for analysis — the color space LLMs are trained on.
Match the color grade of the current DaVinci Resolve timeline frame to a reference image. Exports both in sRGB, visually compares them, and adjusts CDL nodes to match the reference look.
Archive a DaVinci Resolve project — export the .drp project file, media list, timeline markers, render queue status, and editorial notes as a complete archive package.
Paste timecoded client feedback or review notes and auto-create color-coded markers on the DaVinci Resolve timeline at each timecode.

Show what changed between two versions of a timeline. Essential for tracking revisions and understanding what the editor changed.
User provides two timeline names. If only one is given, compare it against the current timeline.
For each timeline:
resolve_set_current_timeline to switch to itresolve_get_timeline_info to get duration, fps, track countresolve_list_clips_on_track to get all clipsresolve_get_item_properties and resolve_get_clip_source_info to get:
Build a diff by matching clips between timelines using source file name as the key:
Added clips: In timeline B but not in A (new source files on the timeline) Removed clips: In timeline A but not in B Moved clips: Same source file but different timeline position or track Trimmed clips: Same source file, same position, but different in/out points Reordered clips: Same clips on V1 but in different sequence order Duration change: Overall timeline duration difference
Format as a structured diff:
## Timeline Diff: "Edit v1" → "Edit v2"
**Duration:** 02:15:30 → 02:12:15 (−3:15)
**Tracks:** V1-V2 A1-A4 → V1-V3 A1-A4 (+1 video track)
### Added (3 clips)
+ V2 01:05:00 — drone_shot_042.mp4 (0:00–0:08)
+ V2 01:22:00 — broll_new_015.mp4 (0:00–0:12)
+ V3 00:00:00 — lower_third.png (still)
### Removed (2 clips)
− V1 00:45:10 — interview_take2.mp4 (was 0:15–0:45)
− V2 01:10:00 — old_broll_003.mp4 (was 0:00–0:06)
### Trimmed (4 clips)
~ V1 00:30:00 — interview_take1.mp4: in 0:10→0:12 out 0:45→0:42 (−5s)
~ V1 01:00:00 — hero_shot.mp4: in 0:00→0:02 (trimmed head)
### Moved (1 clip)
↕ broll_sunset.mp4: V2 01:30:00 → V2 01:15:00 (moved earlier)
