Frequently Asked Questions about Adobe MCP
adobe-mcp is an MCP server that connects AI agents to Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, and Premiere Pro. Its tools automate documents, layouts, artwork, layers, compositions, timelines, exports, and publishing workflows. Most applications use ExtendScript, while Premiere Pro is controlled through a UXP plugin running inside the application.
Install an application package with npx and register it in your MCP client, such as `claude mcp add indesign -- npx -y adobe-mcp-indesign`. You can also add the package under an `mcpServers` block in clients that support that configuration format.
Yes, install `adobe-mcp-suite` to expose InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, and Premiere Pro tools from one server. The suite also includes cross-application tools, and you can restrict loaded applications with `--apps` or `ADOBE_MCP_APPS`.
Yes, the server can be configured in any MCP client that reads an `mcpServers` block, which includes the command and package arguments. The README gives this configuration method for application packages and the combined suite.
Yes, `adobe-mcp-premiere` provides Premiere Pro tools through a UXP plugin inside Premiere Pro. The repository lists support for projects, sequences, timeline edits, effects, transcripts, metadata, and export, but notes that it has not yet been tested against Premiere Pro.
