A side-by-side look at the Image Puma and MCP for Adobe Premiere Pro MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Image Puma for multimedia process work as a local process; choose MCP for Adobe Premiere Pro for multimedia process as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
get_project_info, list_project_items, list_sequences.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.

Fails when the project has never been saved (use save_project_as) or when Premiere writes no non-empty file. Fresh disk metadata verifies a save; unchanged or unreadable metadata reports committed_unverified.save_project_asSave the current project to a new .prproj path. Premiere then has the NEW copy open and closes the original, so later edits go to the copy; the result reports both paths. Fails when Premiere writes no file or leaves a pre-existing path unchanged. Use open_project to return to the original.Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
