Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@mcp-indesign-agentAumenta o espaço entre os títulos"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
MCP InDesign Agent
MCP server para editar Adobe InDesign via linguagem natural no Cursor.
Cursor Agent → MCP (stdio) → Bridge local (AppleScript + dispatcher.jsx) → InDesignv0.1.0 — Document Model em cache, UUIDs persistentes (mcp:<uuid>), ~22 tools semânticas e operações em lote. Plano: PLAN.md.
Prerequisites
macOS (bridge v1 = AppleScript + ExtendScript)
Node.js 20+
Adobe InDesign instalado e aberto, com um
.inddativo para scan/batchPermissão de Automação (veja abaixo)

macOS Automation
Na primeira chamada (npm run doctor ou o MCP no Cursor), o macOS pode pedir permissão para controlar o InDesign.
System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation
Garanta que o app que lança o MCP (Cursor, Terminal, etc.) pode controlar Adobe InDesign
Se o bridge falhar com timeout / Apple Event errors: reabra o InDesign, confirme o nome do app com
npm run doctor, e aceite o diálogo de Automação de novo
O script não usa UI scripting frágil: envia JSON ao extendscript/dispatcher.jsx via do script.
Install & build
npm install
npm run build
npm run doctordoctor imprime apps detectados, versão, doc ativo e smoke de UUID / batch / styles / analyze.
Defina o nome do app se a detecção automática não bater:
INDESIGN_APP_NAME="Adobe InDesign 2026" npm run doctorNomes típicos: Adobe InDesign 2026, Adobe InDesign 2025 (veja /Applications).
Connect to Cursor
npm run buildAdicione em
~/.cursor/mcp.json(ou.cursor/mcp.jsondo projeto):

"mcpServers": {
"mcp-indesign-agent": {
"command": "node",

"INDESIGN_APP_NAME": "Adobe InDesign 2026",
"INDESIGN_BRIDGE": "applescript"
}
}
}

Teste: “Ping InDesign e faça scan do documento ativo”
Fluxo do agent (obrigatório na prática)
ping_indesign
→ scan_document # cache + snapshot before
→ analyze_page # roles (Header, Body…)
→ preview_batch | layout_assistant (opcional)
→ execute_batch | layout_assistant fix
→ summarize_changesMeta: pedido editorial típico em ≤ 3 round-trips MCP (scan → batch → summarize).
Exemplos:
Pedido | Sequência |
“Aumenta o espaço entre os títulos” |
|
“Textos sobrepostos” |
|
“Aplica Heading 1 no título” |
|
“Relinka a imagem missing” |
|
Targets: uuid | { uuid } | { role, pageIndex? } | { selection: true }.
Nunca use pageIndex:itemIndex como identidade. Geometria em points.
Tools (teto ~25)
Novas capacidades entram como op no dispatcher + comando de batch, não como tool MCP nova — salvo superfície semântica clara (analyze_page, layout_assistant).

Preferir sempre execute_batch para mutações multi-passo. Thin tools existem para 1 op.
Ops de execute_batch
move, resize, delete, duplicate, setText, replaceText, setFont, setFill, align, distribute, center, stack, applyMargins, applyStyle, createStyle, updateStyle, relinkAsset, replaceAsset, embedAsset.
