Adobe MCP: Connect Claude to Photoshop, Acrobat, and Experience Cloud

Adobe just released an official MCP server that lets AI agents control your creative workflows programmatically. If you're building tools for design or marketing teams, this changes how you can automate asset creation, PDF workflows, and campaign analytics—without leaving your Claude or Cursor chat.

What It Does

Adobe MCP exposes core Adobe services through a standardized protocol. Your AI agent can now:

  • Create and edit images in Photoshop—generate designs from prompts, apply effects, layer text, and export at scale
  • Manage PDFs in Acrobat—generate documents, merge files, extract data, apply digital signatures
  • Query marketing data from Experience Cloud—pull campaign performance, audience insights, and analytics
  • Access Creative Cloud assets—retrieve libraries, apply templates and brand styles, manage version control
  • Export deliverables with live URLs—no manual download steps

This is the bridge between generative AI and Adobe's ecosystem. Instead of Claude describing what to build, it can now build it, then hand you a ready-to-use URL.

How to Install

First, install the server via npm:

npx -y @adobe/mcp
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then add it to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json on macOS/Linux, or the Windows equivalent):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adobe-mcp": {
      "command": "npx -y @adobe/mcp"
    }
  }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Restart Claude Desktop. You'll now see Adobe tools available in your MCP menu.

Real-World Use Cases

  • Batch social media content: Prompt Claude to generate 10 Instagram post designs with your brand colors and fonts, then export all as web-ready files in one pass
  • PDF automation: Build a bot that takes user submissions, generates a branded PDF report with charts from Experience Cloud, and emails it—all triggered from a webhook
  • Dynamic templates: Use Claude to fill Adobe template libraries with campaign-specific copy and imagery, then export for email or web without touching Photoshop

Adobe MCP is free and officially supported. Check the developer docs for the full API reference.
