Adobe Express Add-on Developer MCP Server (Beta)\n\nGet Adobe Express Add-on documentation and TypeScript definitions directly in your AI-assisted IDE through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Build faster with grounded answers and accurate code suggestions.\n\n> **Status: Beta** - We're actively improving based on developer feedback. API and tool surfaces may change.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n- **Node.js 18+** (check with `node --version`)\n- **MCP-compatible IDE** (Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.)\n- **Internet connection**\n\n## Quick Setup (No Installation Required)\n\nYou don't need to clone or build anything. Just configure your MCP client to launch the server via `npx`.\n\n### For Cursor Users\n\nAdd this to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"adobe-express-add-on\": {\n \"command\": \"npx\",\n \"args\": [\n \"@adobe/express-add-on-dev-mcp@latest\",\n \"--yes\"\n ]\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n### For Claude Desktop Users\n\nAdd this to `claude_desktop_config.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"adobe-express-add-on\": {\n \"command\": \"npx\",\n \"args\": [\n \"@adobe/express-add-on-dev-mcp@latest\",\n \"--yes\"\n ]\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nIf there's a toggle to enable the new MCP server in your IDE, make sure it's enabled.\n\n### Verification\n\nMany IDEs show a green indicator when the MCP server connects successfully, for example in Cursor: \n\n\"Example\n\nThe LLM will automatically invoke tools based on your prompts:\n\n\"Example\n\n\n## Usage\n\n**Example Prompts:**\n\n- \"What are the steps for implementing drag-and-drop functionality?\"\n- \"How do I create a rendition of a document\"\n- \"Show me examples of using the color picker component.\"\n- \"How do I create and style text in Adobe Express?\"\n- \"How does the Document API work for manipulating elements?\"\n\n**Pro Tips for Better Results:**\n\n- **Be Specific**: \"Add a stroke to a rectangle\" vs \"Style shapes\"\n- **Include Context**: \"I'm building a text editor add-on\" helps narrow results\n- **Use Technical Terms**: \"text styling\" vs \"make it look good\"\n- **Ask for Examples**: \"Show me code examples for text manipulation\"\n- **Specify Surfaces**: \"Show me iframe-ui types\" vs generic requests\n\n## Important Notes\n\n- **IDE Requirement**: Requires MCP-compatible IDE for full functionality\n- **Network Dependency**: Required for intial download and for tool calls\n- **Update Frequency**: Documentation index updates periodically, not real-time\n\n## Compatibility\n\n- **Adobe Express SDK**: Latest stable versions\n- **Node.js**: 18.0.0 or higher required\n- **MCP Protocol**: v1.0 supported\n- **Tested IDEs**: Cursor 0.40+, Claude Desktop 1.0+, Visual Studio Code 1.80+\n\n## Getting Started Workflow\n\n1. **Configure your IDE** (see setup instructions above)\n2. **Try it out** - ask a simple question like \"How do I create text?\"\n3. **Explore the APIs** - try \"Show me the Editor interface\"\n4. **Build something** - use the tools while developing your add-on\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### Server Won't Start\n\n- ✅ Check Node.js version: `node --version` (needs 18+)\n- ✅ Verify MCP config JSON syntax\n- ✅ Ensure firewall allows npx downloads\n- ✅ Ensure you are connected to the internet\n\n### No Documentation Results\n\n- ✅ Use specific technical terms (\"text styling\" vs \"make it pretty\")\n- ✅ Try adding \"Adobe Express Add-ons\" for an additional context cue\n- ✅ Try broader queries first, then narrow down\n- ✅ Double-check API names and concepts\n\n### Missing Type Definitions\n\n- ✅ Specify the correct API surface (iframe-ui, express-document-sdk, add-on-sdk-document-sandbox)\n- ✅ Ensure your IDE supports MCP protocol\n- ✅ Ask for specific types rather than general requests\n\n## Resources & Support\n\n- **📚 Documentation**: [Adobe Express Add-on Guides](https://developer.adobe.com/express/add-ons/docs/guides/)\n- **💡 Examples**: [Samples Repository](https://github.com/AdobeDocs/express-add-on-samples)\n- **📋 Updates**: [Changelog](https://developer.adobe.com/express/add-ons/docs/guides/getting_started/changelog/)\n- **💬 Community**: [Adobe Express Add-on Developers Discord](https://discord.com/invite/nc3QDyFeb4)\n- **🔍 Forum**: [Adobe Express Developers Community](https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-express-developers/ct-p/ct-adobe-express-developers?page=1&sort=latest_replies&lang=all&tabid=all)\n","readmeFilename":"README.md"}
