01CLAUDE CODE & CURSOR MCP
CLAUDE CODE & CURSOR MCP
Automate Photo, PDF, Word & Excel Tasks Locally With AI Agents (Built-In MCP).
Every ArteCraft app ships with a native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and 500+ deterministic CLI commands — letting Claude Code, Cursor, or local LLMs batch-edit files safely offline.

02Why Creators Switch
LEGACY SUBSCRIPTION PAIN
Legacy GUI apps require brittle ExtendScript/COM hacks or expensive cloud APIs to automate.
ARTECRAFT NATIVE RUST + WASM
Run `photocraft --mcp` or `pdfcraft --mcp` and let any MCP client execute structured batch edits locally.

04Frequently Asked Questions
Does ArteCraft include any cloud AI or send my files to LLM providers?
Never by default. MCP is disabled until you explicitly start an app with `--mcp` and connect your own local or chosen agent.
