Frequently asked questions
Science is categorized under Aerospace & Astrodynamics and uses a local stdio subprocess. Davinci Resolve MCP belongs to Multimedia Process and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Science for aerospace & astrodynamics work and Davinci Resolve MCP for multimedia process.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
Science has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Davinci Resolve MCP is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add science and samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
