Explore Photoshop MCP bridges, macOS scripting, Windows automation and the native UXP extension API. For Codex, 2 routes are explicitly documented by the integration maintainer.
An AppleScript-backed bridge with a companion psctl command-line interface.
Platforms: macOS
The integration documentation explicitly names this client.
Photoshop installed and licensed; Node.js 18+; macOS Automation permission.
Other Photoshop versions are unverified by the maintainer outside the version listed in the repository. Windows is not supported by this bridge.
A separate bridge for document and layer operations, with offline PSD tooling.
Platforms: macOS, Windows (support not confirmed)
Uses MCP; agent-specific setup instructions are not included in the linked documentation.
Node.js 18+ and Photoshop; optional Python dependencies for offline PSD tools.
A Windows COM route is included, but the maintainer does not confirm Windows support. The other Photoshop bridge is macOS-only.
A multi-application Adobe bridge using COM and ExtendScript on Windows, with application-specific tools.
Platforms: Windows
The maintainer documents Codex setup for this connection.
Windows 10/11, Python 3.10+ and the Adobe applications being controlled must be installed.
Tools differ by application. This Windows bridge does not provide the same application coverage on macOS.
A Photoshop UXP bridge plus a macOS Illustrator scripting connection, each with its own setup.
Platforms: macOS, Windows
MCP transport compatibility is inferred; this agent is not explicitly documented for this connection.
Node.js 20.11+, Photoshop 25+ with the UXP plugin; Illustrator requires the documented macOS scripting route.
Other Adobe applications listed as discovery-only by this project are not included as controllable apps here.
Adobe’s plugin API exposes Photoshop scripting for custom extensions and automation bridges.
Platforms: See documentation
The native interface is documented, but no setup for this coding agent is established by this source.
A compatible Photoshop installation and a UXP plugin or scripting bridge are required.
This is a native extension API. An agent needs a custom plugin or bridge before it can call these operations.
| Integration | Codex compatibility | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Photoshop MCP · macOS | Documented setup Setup guide | Photoshop installed and licensed; Node.js 18+; macOS Automation permission. |
| Photoshop MCP · PSD tools | MCP compatibility (inferred) | Node.js 18+ and Photoshop; optional Python dependencies for offline PSD tools. |
| Adobe MCP · Windows automation | Documented setup Setup guide | Windows 10/11, Python 3.10+ and the Adobe applications being controlled must be installed. |
| Adobe MCP · Photoshop & Illustrator | MCP compatibility (inferred) Setup guide | Node.js 20.11+, Photoshop 25+ with the UXP plugin; Illustrator requires the documented macOS scripting route. |
| Photoshop UXP API | Not documented | A compatible Photoshop installation and a UXP plugin or scripting bridge are required. |
The sources establish the capabilities listed above, not complete application coverage. Check each bridge’s limitations and your application version before starting.
Choose a route that explicitly documents Codex and matches your environment. Start with the maintainer’s setup guide and a disposable project copy. Shared MCP support alone is listed as an inference.
