What the publisher says

From the Adobe repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

adobe-mcp — Adobe Creative Cloud MCP server (macOS)

Drives After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro (and Character Animator puppet authoring) from Claude, plus Blender and Substance 3D Painter for 3D look-dev and cinematic animation. See ROADMAP.md for the full tool matrix and what is next. Bridge: MCP client → this server → AppleScript DoScript → AE → temp result file → back.

Tools

3D & cinematic VFX pipeline (Blender + Substance 3D Painter)

Two Python bridges extend the server beyond ExtendScript so one agent can take a shot from blocking to final composite:

┌──► Blender ──────────► Python (bpy): live add-on socket :9877, or headless `blender -b`
MCP client ───────┼──► Substance Painter ─► Python: remote scripting HTTP :60041 (/run.json)
                  └──► After Effects ────► ExtendScript via osascript (as above)

Free CC0 texture & HDRI libraries (Poly Haven, ambientCG): everything both publish is public domain, so it's free for commercial work with no attribution.

The downloaded folder also works as texturedir for CreatureWalkCinematic.py. Set POLYHAVENAPI / AMBIENTCG_API to point at a mirror if you need to.

Library scripts (run with run_script, parameters via params):

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
