Adobe MCP server

What it does

MCP server that drives Adobe Creative Cloud applications (After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Character Animator) via AppleScript from any MCP client on macOS. Built for designers and motion artists who want to automate or script Adobe workflows from Claude or other AI assistants.

• Run ExtendScript code in After Effects, Photoshop, or Premiere Pro and get results back as JSON for processing or display.
• Render a composition frame to PNG and have Claude see the visual output inline to verify the work.
• Execute stored library scripts for common tasks like blueprint line extraction, seamless wind loops, or Auto Reframe operations.

Before you enable it

An MCP server runs with whatever access you give it. Start with a development account rather than production, and check which tools the server exposes before you let an agent call them unattended.
