Automating PhotoCraft, WordCraft & GridCraft on Windows with Claude Code & Cursor via MCP

Every Craft app ships with a built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and 500+ CLI commands so AI agents can edit PSD layers, generate DOCX reports, and process PDFs locally on Windows.

02Step-by-Step Walkthrough

STEP 01

1. Deterministic Agent-First Desktop Architecture

Unlike legacy 1990s GUI suites where AI agents must guess screen coordinates, every menu operation in PhotoCraft, WordCraft, PdfCraft, and GridCraft maps 1-to-1 to a structured JSON-RPC / MCP command.

STEP 02

2. Registering PhotoCraft or PdfCraft MCP on Windows

Point Claude Code or Cursor to the portable Windows CLI binary inside your ArteCraft Apps folder and scope access to your project directory:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "photocraft": {
      "command": "photocraft-cli.exe",
      "args": ["mcp", "--allow-dir", ".\assets"]
    },
    "pdfcraft": {
      "command": "pdfcraft-cli.exe",
      "args": ["mcp", "--allow-dir", ".\docs"]
    }
  }
}

STEP 03

3. Offline Batch Processing at $0 API Cost

Batch-resize 200 product PSDs, localize text layers into 15 languages, export WebP assets, and compile a signed PDF catalog 100% locally on your Windows CPU/GPU.
