Local MCP servers connect your creative applications to agent workflows, so your tools, files and context can work together.

Different creative worlds. Creative MCP hosts independent, open implementations that connect creative tools to agent workflows. [### Adobe MCP Connect your Adobe creative apps. Available Five app-specific MCP servers, with a coordinator for supported cross-app workflows. Explore Adobe MCP ↗](https://creativemcp.com/apps.html) [### Blender MCP Work with 3D scenes, objects, materials and animation. Available A Rust MCP server and Blender companion add-on for scene tools, assets and pipelines. Explore Blender MCP ↗](https://creativemcp.com/docs/implementations/blender.html) ＋ More creative tools can join as they’re ready. Creative MCP is an open platform; implementations are developed and released independently. How it works ## Get from idea to output in three steps. A simple local setup connects your creative applications to your chosen agent workflow. ### Choose a tool Pick an implementation, such as Adobe MCP or Blender MCP. ### Connect your MCP client Install and configure the local server and any app companion it needs. ### Keep creating in your app Your tools stay open on your machine. Work with your files and context where supported. [See setup details and implementation requirements →](https://creativemcp.com/how-it-works.html) Built for real work ## Move from instructions to finished creative output. Give agents a way to work with your actual creative tools, files and context. Each implementation runs locally and documents its own setup.

Each implementation provides transparent information about its current capabilities, so you know what to expect. Documented Guides explain what the implementation does and how to set it up. Implemented The tools and capabilities are present in the MCP server. Tested Automated checks cover the tool implementation where provided. Validated Live-app validation is reported separately and depends on the implementation. Adobe MCP’s [Capability Atlas](https://creativemcp.com/capability-atlas.html) tracks evidence by feature. For Blender MCP, see the project’s current repository documentation. A tool passing automated checks does not by itself prove that a workflow has been validated in a live application. Beyond one app ## From layout to a 3D scene. Move approved artwork and its context into Blender, then keep building in the tools you already use. 01 / 03 ### Design the composition Shape a layout and approve the artwork in InDesign. 02 / 03 ### Move the working files Export the approved assets and carry the brief into the next tool. 03 / 03 ### Develop the scene Bring those assets into Blender and continue building in 3D. How the handoff worksThis is a file handoff between separate MCP implementations. Direct Adobe-to-Blender orchestration is not currently provided.
