Adobe adds agentic AI and MCP access to Creative Cloud and Firefly
Overview
Adobe announced agentic AI features at its Max conference in Miami, including a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) that lets third-party agents from OpenAI, Google and Anthropic access and change Creative Cloud projects in Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and After Effects, according to The Verge.
The Verge says the same announcements add new Firefly AI Assistant capabilities and let agents run recurring work in the background.
The Creative Cloud MCP integrations are not yet available. Adobe says a private beta will launch in early 2027 and has not given a date for the Firefly preview, which it says will come to Firefly AI Assistant first. TechCrunch reports that Adobe vice president Deepa Subramaniam said the company is still deciding which capabilities to expose and will rely on user feedback. TechCrunch also reports a Firefly prototyping tool called Builder in private beta.
