How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Supply Chain Security80
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • CVE check failed: a known high-severity CVE affects uuid 9.0.1, a direct dependency. A fixed version is available. View diagnostics → Fail

Schema Quality & AI Usability36
  • 0% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Fail
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).Partial
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 16054 tokens (~79/item across 201 items; 197 tools + 4 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management13
  • Stability observed for 4 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial

Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 23 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "page_delete" implies "delete" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
  • An AI judge read all 199 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

MCP tools · 197 exposed · ~15,291 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Common questions

What is the Adobe InDesign MCP server?

Adobe InDesign is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.nutriandrea/indesign-nutria-mcp. The most comprehensive MCP server for Adobe InDesign: 197 tools, AI-native, full DOM control. This page covers its npm package (indesign-nutria-mcp).

Is the Adobe InDesign MCP server safe to use?

Adobe InDesign scores 67 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 1 known advisory against it as of 23 October 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the Adobe InDesign MCP server expose?

Adobe InDesign exposes 197 tools: document_create, document_open, document_save, document_close, document_getInfo, and 192 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 15,291 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the Adobe InDesign MCP server still maintained?

Adobe InDesign is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 23 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

What licence is the Adobe InDesign MCP server under?

Adobe InDesign declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
