Overview

The Photoshop Python API MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows users to interface with Adobe Photoshop's Python API, enabling large language models (LLMs) to perform image editing operations and automate workflows.

To use the server, set it up in your development environment, connect it to Adobe Photoshop, and send structured commands to execute various image editing tasks.

Interfaces with Adobe Photoshop's Python API for seamless integration. - Enables automation of image editing workflows. - Supports context-aware interactions for more intuitive command execution.

Automating repetitive image editing tasks in Photoshop.
Integrating AI-driven image editing capabilities into applications.
Streamlining workflows for graphic designers and artists.

Use these steps to connect Photoshop MCP Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "photoshop-python-api-mcp-server-loonghao": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-photoshop-python-api-mcp-server-loonghao"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "photoshop-python-api-mcp-server-loonghao": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-photoshop-python-api-mcp-server-loonghao"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "photoshop-python-api-mcp-server-loonghao": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-photoshop-python-api-mcp-server-loonghao"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "photoshop-python-api-mcp-server-loonghao": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-photoshop-python-api-mcp-server-loonghao"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "photoshop-python-api-mcp-server-loonghao": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-photoshop-python-api-mcp-server-loonghao"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "photoshop-python-api-mcp-server-loonghao": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-photoshop-python-api-mcp-server-loonghao"
      ]
    }
