Illustrator Mcp Server
Connects Claude directly to Adobe Illustrator via the Model Context Protocol, exposing 63 tools for reading, manipulating, and exporting .ai files. You can pull design data like colors, fonts, and text frames for CSS extraction, run pre-press preflight checks for PDF/X compliance, verify image resolution and color space, convert text to outlines, resize artboards, and export to SVG or PNG. It uses Illustrator's scripting API under the hood, so operations happen in the live application. Works on macOS and Windows with Illustrator CC 2024 or later. Useful when you need to automate print-ready validation, generate asset variations, or bridge design files into web workflows without opening the app manually.
