Editmamei

Unlock Photoshop with natural-language photo editing. AI orchestration, not generation.

(Pronounced like edamame. Yes, the snack.)

Independent project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Adobe Inc.

Editmamei is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that drives the Adobe Photoshop you already have. You describe the edit in plain words; your AI assistant plans the steps; your own copy of Photoshop carries them out with its standard adjustment layers, masks, selections, and filters. The AI directs; Photoshop edits. No generative model touches your pixels.

Install

npm install -g editmamei
editmamei install   # registers with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code
editmamei status    # confirms install state + Photoshop detection

Then restart your AI client and ask it: "Is Photoshop connected?"

Prefer not to use a terminal? Claude Desktop users can install the one-click .mcpb extension from the latest release. Full walkthrough in the install guide.

Requirements: Adobe Photoshop 2026 (v27.x), Windows 10/11 or macOS 12+, Node.js 20+ (for the npm path), and an MCP-compatible AI client.

What it does

Editmamei gives your AI assistant a working photographer's toolkit inside Photoshop: open and save documents, build layer stacks, make selections, add non-destructive adjustments, run filters, mask, retouch, and check the result with inline previews and histograms. Your AI calls these as building blocks, so you can say "make the sky more dramatic but keep the foreground natural" instead of clicking through menus.

The full capability surface is at editmamei.com. The Community and Pro split is in pro-features.md: Community is free and covers the everyday editing surface; Pro adds the reproducible-template system, Sensei-backed Select Subject and Select Sky, and Photoshop Actions plus scripting.

Privacy

Editmamei runs on your computer and edits in your own Photoshop. No image content, document data, or file paths are sent to Editmamei's servers. It reports anonymous, content-free usage telemetry (on by default; turn it off with editmamei config set telemetry.usage false). When your AI assistant needs to see a result, Editmamei sends it a downscaled preview, the same as dropping a photo into a chat with that assistant. Every field is documented in privacy.md.
