Adobe for Creativity

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.

What it does

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.
