  "description": "Adobe's first official Model Context Protocol connector: a hosted remote server that exposes Creative Cloud capabilities as agent tools across Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, Firefly, Premiere, Express, InDesign and Adobe Stock. Retouch and batch-edit stills to a consistent look, auto-tone and reframe, design and animate from Express templates, search Stock, and reformat or quick-cut video. For a filmmaker-agent this is the key-art, poster-variant and social-cutdown bench, not an editorial tool — the video surface reformats and summarizes clips, it does not open a timeline.",

  "caveats": [
    "Not an editorial tool: video_resize and video_create_quick_cut are the whole video surface, and nothing opens or edits a Premiere project.",
    "Quick Cut returns a temporary presigned URL rather than a CC asset ID, so its output cannot chain into video_resize without re-uploading.",
    "Guest access covers about 40 of the 50+ tools; video tools need sign-in, some return 403 off-plan, and Express results vanish after 12 hours.",
    "Team and Enterprise admins must enable third-party connectors first, and connectors cannot be installed from the Claude mobile apps."

  "notes": "GA Apr 28 2026 per Adobe's own blog. Re-checked 10 Oct 2026: the endpoint https://adobe-creativity.adobe.io/mcp and the http transport are still what Adobe ships in its own plugin manifest, now at github.com/adobe/skills → plugins/creative-cloud/adobe-for-creativity (plugin v3.2.0, repo pushed 10 Oct 2026). An unauthenticated tools/list probe returns 403, so tool names come from Adobe's skill definitions rather than a live handshake. The video limitation is still the thing to know: Adobe documents reformat/resize (video_resize) and sizzle-reel generation (video_create_quick_cut) and nothing that opens, reads or edits a Premiere Pro project — Quick Cut explicitly punts semantic speech trimming, frame-precise cuts and dialogue editing to Premiere Rush or Premiere Pro. Worse, Quick Cut returns a temporary presigned URL rather than a Creative Cloud asset ID, so you cannot chain its output into video_resize without downloading and re-uploading. Guest access covers roughly 40 of the 50+ tools; video tools and Gen Expand require signing in, and replace_image and animate_design return 403 if the feature is not on your plan. Express results are deleted after 12 hours unless saved. Adobe documents setup through Claude's connector directory, Cowork and Claude Desktop rather than a published mcp-add command; connectors cannot be browsed or installed from the Claude iOS/Android apps, and Team/Enterprise admins must enable third-party connectors first. Enterprise teams that want batch pipelines rather than one-off edits should look at adobe-run-workflow instead.",
