About Photoshop Mcp
Photoshop MCP connects AI assistants to Adobe Photoshop through the Model Context Protocol. Instead of working through menus, a user asks an assistant such as Claude or Cursor to remove a background, retouch a portrait, color grade an image or batch export a set of sizes, and the request runs in Photoshop as a single undo step.
The MCP server exposes 116 Photoshop tools, and the assistant chooses the right ones for each request. It can be added to Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, Claude Code or any other MCP client. A standalone Web UI is also available: one npx command starts a local chat server on the user's machine and opens it in the browser, with no editor required. The Web UI supports Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini and OpenRouter models, either through a user's own API key, billed per token by the provider, or by reusing a local Claude Code or Gemini CLI login. An Action Plan mode makes one planning call and then runs every step in sequence.
It is built for designers, photographers and developers who want to automate repetitive image work. It runs on macOS and Windows with versions of Photoshop from 2012 through 2025.
The project is free and open source under the MIT license. Any model costs come from the user's own provider account.
