README

Photoshop MCP Server

Note: This is an unofficial, community-maintained project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Adobe Inc.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants like Claude and Cursor to control Adobe Photoshop programmatically. This allows you to create designs, manipulate images, and automate Photoshop workflows through natural language commands while working in your IDE.

🖥️ Standalone UI (no IDE required)

Don't want to wire this into Claude Desktop or Cursor? The same package ships a fully local web UI that lets you chat with an AI model and drive Photoshop through this MCP server underneath.

npx -p @alisaitteke/photoshop-mcp photoshop-mcp-ui

That's it. A local server starts on 127.0.0.1 (random free port) and your default browser opens the chat UI automatically.

Supported providers

Pick any of the following on first launch — bring your own API key:

Provider	Models	Get a key
Anthropic	Claude Sonnet / Opus / Haiku	console.anthropic.com
OpenAI	GPT-5, GPT-4.1, o-series	platform.openai.com
Google	Gemini 2.5 Pro / Flash / Flash-Lite	aistudio.google.com
OpenRouter	100+ models from any provider	openrouter.ai

What happens on first launch

Pick a provider and paste your API key.
The key is validated against the provider, then stored locally at ~/.photoshop-mcp/data.db (SQLite, chmod 600). It never leaves your machine.
Type natural-language prompts. The UI streams the model's reply, runs Photoshop tool calls in real time, and renders each tool call as an inspectable card (input + result).
Switch provider or model anytime from the model selector — chats, costs and tool history are persisted across sessions.

CLI flags

photoshop-mcp-ui [--port 5174] [--host 127.0.0.1] [--no-open]

Notes

The agent is restricted to Photoshop MCP tools only — built-in shell, file and web tools are disabled.
Tech stack: Vue 3 + Tailwind v4 + shadcn-vue on the frontend; Hono + the Vercel AI SDK on the backend. The agent loop talks to this same Photoshop MCP server over STDIO — same code path as the IDE integration.

Example Prompts

Below are example prompts you can use with AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, etc.) when this MCP server is configured:

🎨 Basic Design Creation

Create a 1920x1080 Photoshop document with RGB color mode.
Add a light blue background layer and fill it with RGB(240, 248, 255).
Add centered text "Welcome" in 64pt font.
Save as welcome.psd to my Desktop.

🖼️ Stock Image Design (with Pexels MCP)

Search Pexels for "mountain sunset" images.
Create a 1920x1080 Photoshop document.
Place the downloaded image and fit it to fill the entire canvas.
Apply a subtle Gaussian blur of 3px.
Increase brightness by 15 and contrast by 10.
Add white text "Adventure Awaits" centered at the top in 72pt.
Set the text opacity to 90% and blend mode to OVERLAY.
Save as adventure.jpg with quality 10.

✨ Photo Enhancement

Open photo.jpg from my Desktop in Photoshop.
Apply auto levels and auto con
