Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

adb-mcp is a proof of concept project to enabled AI control of Adobe tools (Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere) by providing an interface to LLMs via the MCP protocol.

The project is not endorsed by nor supported by Adobe.

It has been tested with Claude desktop (Mac and Windows) from Anthropic, as well as the OpenAI Agent SDK, and allows AI clients to control Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere. Theoretically, it should work with any AI App / LLM that supports the MCP protocol, and is built in a way to support multiple Adobe applications.

Example use cases include:

Giving Claude step by step instruction on what to do in Photoshop, providing a conversational based interface (particularly useful if you are new to Photoshop).
Giving Claude a task (create an instagram post that looks like a Polariod image, create a double exposure) and letting it create it from start to finish to use as a template.
Asking Claude to generate custom Photoshop tutorials for you, by creating an example file, then step by step instructions on how to recreate.
As a Photoshop utility tool (have Claude rename all of your layers into a consistent format)
Have Claude create new Premiere projects pre-populations with clips, transitions, effects and Audio

The Premiere agent is a bit more limited in functionality compared to the Photoshop agent, due to current limitations of the Premiere plugin API.

How it works

The proof of concept works by providing:

A MCP Server that provides an interface to functionality within Adobe Photoshop to the AI / LLM
A Node based command proxy server that sits between the MCP server and Adobe app plugins
An Adobe app (Photoshop and Premiere) plugin that listens for commands, and drives the programs

AI MCP Server Command Proxy Server Photoshop / Premiere UXP Plugin Photoshop / Premiere

Questions

What is the Adobe Agent MCP server?

None

What tools does Adobe Agent expose?

93 in total: 44 read-only, 42 that write, and 7 that can delete or overwrite (add_drop_shadow_layer_style, clear_selection, delete_layer, delete_selection, remove_background). Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is Adobe Agent safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it D (63/100) and found 3 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on. Separately from the audit: 7 of its tools can destroy data, so scope the token you give it to what you actually need.

What credentials does Adobe Agent need?

No credential environment variables were found in its source, so it appears to need none.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (5511d4beb1f9), read on 2026-09-28. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
