Details
From the project READMEIllustrator MCP Server
Adobe Illustrator is compatible with JavaScript. In fact, some super big stuff you need to programmatically generate with these scripts. Bots are good at JavaScript.
This MCP server let's bots send scripts straight to Illustrator and look at the result.
Since it depends on AppleScript, it's only compatible with MacOS. and I've only tested it with Claude Desktop.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
