| Best for | - Designers and creators who want to drive Photoshop conversationally without writing scripts or code
- Teams with repetitive or batch image work (watermarking, multi-platform export variants)
- Users already working inside MCP clients such as Cursor or Claude Code
- Workflows that need reversible, single-undo multi-step image operations
| - Hevy PRO users who want AI assistants to directly access their workout data
- People who prefer using MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, Codex for fitness tracking
- Anyone needing summaries and insights from their training data
| - Scenarios needing clean, structured web context fed to an AI assistant
- Users already on the Firecrawl platform who want to call its scraping capability directly via MCP
|
|---|
| Not for | - Environments without Photoshop installed or running (the project depends on local Photoshop)
- Enterprises expecting official Adobe support or endorsement (this is an unofficial community project)
- Sensitive scenarios where prompts or document content must never be sent to an AI provider
- Environments that cannot install Node.js 18+ or fetch software via npm/npx
| - Users without a Hevy PRO subscription (API key required)
- Users who want to use the server without an API key
- Those needing delete workflows (Hevy API does not expose delete endpoints)
| - Simple static-page scraping where you don't want to depend on a third-party API and incur call costs
- Sites that explicitly disallow automated access (robots.txt)
|
|---|
| Required permissions | - Read and modify documents open in local Photoshop (layers, masks, color, exports, etc.)
- Run a local Node.js process that communicates with the MCP client over stdio
- Access specified local image folders for batch processing
- Use an AI provider API key, or reuse Claude Code / Gemini CLI account credentials, in standalone UI mode
- Collect anonymous aggregated usage analytics by default (can be disabled)
| - Requires HEVY_API_KEY environment variable for Hevy API authentication
- Can create, update, and replace workouts, routines, folders, templates, and body measurements via tools
- Read operations can fetch workouts, routines, folders, templates, history, and user info
| - Requires a Firecrawl API key to call; cost and quota are governed by the Firecrawl account
- firecrawl_agent/firecrawl_interact perform automated browser interaction, which may trigger login or form-submission flows on the target site
|
|---|
| Risks and side effects | - AI-planned steps modify Photoshop documents directly; although recipes are single-undo, batch or broad operations can still cause unwanted changes, so keep backups of originals.
- Generative AI features (generative fill, Firefly, etc.) require an Adobe account and may incur extra cost or be subject to service terms.
- Using a cloud AI provider means prompt text and document information read by the AI may leave your machine.
- It relies on a third-party npm package fetched and executed via npx, which carries supply-chain risk; pin versions and verify the package source.
- Anonymous usage analytics are collected by default and should be turned off if privacy matters to you.
- Batch operations modify or overwrite files in target folders, and misconfiguration can affect many files at once.
| - API key can be misused if leaked; do not expose in URLs, logs, or screenshots
- Create operations may produce duplicates on retry; update operations replace existing records
- The server sends data to the Hevy API and may send telemetry to external services unless disabled
| - Bulk crawl/map tools can generate significant request volume against a target site — respect the site's rate limits and terms of service
- firecrawl_agent's interactive action chain is longer — define task boundaries clearly before running it to avoid accidentally triggering actions on a sensitive site
