adb-mcpは、MCPプロトコルを通じてLLMにインターフェースを提供することで、Adobeツール(Adobe PhotoshopおよびAdobe Premiere)をAI制御を可能にする概念実証プロジェクトです。

このプロジェクトはAdobeの支持もサポートも受けていません。

AnthropicのClaudeデスクトップ(MacおよびWindows)やOpenAIエージェントSDKでテストされており、AIクライアントがAdobe PhotoshopやAdobe Premiereを制御できるようにします。理論的には、MCPプロトコルをサポートするあらゆるAIアプリ/LLMで動作し、複数のAdobeアプリケーションをサポートするように構築されています。

ユースケースの例は以下の通りです:

• Photoshopでの手順を段階的に説明し、会話形式のインターフェースを提供します(特にPhotoshop初心者に便利)。
• クロードにタスクを与え(ポラリード画像のようなインスタグラム投稿を作成する、ダブル露光を作成する)、最初から最後まで作成させてテンプレートとして使わせる。
• クロードにカスタムPhotoshopのチュートリアルを作成してもらうために、サンプルファイルを作成し、再作成方法のステップバイステップの指示を教えてもらう。
• Photoshopのユーティリティツールとして(Claudeですべてのレイヤー名を一貫した形式にリネームさせる)

adb-mcp

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

The proxy server is required because the public facing API for UXP Based JavaScript plugin does not allow it to listen on a socket connection (as a server) for the MCP Server to connect to (it can only connect to a socket as a client).

Requirements

In order to run this, the following is required:

• AI LLM with support for MCP Protocol (tested with Claude desktop on Mac & Windows, and OpenAI Agent SDK)
• Python 3, which is used to run the MCP server provided with this project
• NodeJS, used to provide a proxy between the MCP server and Photoshop
• Adobe UXP Developer tool (available via Creative Cloud) used to install and debug the Photoshop / Premiere plugin used to connect to the proxy
• Adobe Photoshop (26.0 or greater) with the MCP Plugin installed or Adobe Premiere Beta (25.3 Build 46 or greater)

Installation

This guide assumes you’re using Claude Desktop. Other MCP-compatible AI applications should work similarly.
