Adobe Admin Console

English | 中文

Adobe Admin Console MCP server for Claude — exposes Adobe's User Management API (UMAPI) as MCP tools, focused on Acrobat / PDF license (product profile) assignment for Enterprise organizations.

Tech stack: Python 3.12 + uv + FastMCP (Starlette/uvicorn)

关联需求：PRD-15546（Onboarding step 16，Acrobat / PDF license assignment）。完整调研见 vendor-mcp-template/prd/AdobeAdminConsole.md。

Quick Start

cd adobe-admin-console-mcp
uv sync

# stdio mode (for Claude Desktop / CLI), single shared credential set from env
ADOBE_CLIENT_ID=xxxx ADOBE_CLIENT_SECRET=xxxx ADOBE_ORG_ID=xxxx@AdobeOrg uv run adobe-mcp

Authentication

This service is stateless: it never stores or persists Adobe credentials. Credentials are either supplied once via environment variables (local dev, AUTH_MODE=env), or per-request via HTTP headers (AUTH_MODE=gateway, production).

Adobe uses OAuth Server-to-Server (JWT/Service Account auth is deprecated). On every tool call, this service exchanges the caller's client_id + client_secret for a short-lived Adobe IMS access_token (~24h TTL) and uses it immediately — the token is not cached across requests, even though Adobe's own docs suggest doing so, in order to fully comply with the "no persisted credentials" requirement. This adds one extra IMS round trip per call.

Gateway mode HTTP headers (AUTH_MODE=gateway)

Header	类型	是否必填	默认值	枚举值	字段描述	Example
x-adobe-client-id	string	必填	无	无	Adobe Developer Console Project 的 Client ID，用于换取 access_token 及作为 x-api-key	1234abcd5678efgh
x-adobe-client-secret	string	必填	无	无	对应的 Client Secret，仅用于本次请求内换取 access_token，不持久化、不写日志	p8e-xxxxxxxxxxxx
x-adobe-org-id	string	必填	无	无	Adobe 组织 ID（Enterprise 租户标识）	1234567890ABCDEF@AdobeOrg

Missing any of the three headers on a /mcp request returns 401 with a required_headers list.

Env mode variables (AUTH_MODE=env, local dev only)

Variable	Default	Description
ADOBE_CLIENT_ID	—	Adobe Developer Console Project Client ID
ADOBE_CLIENT_SECRET	—	Adobe Developer Console Project Client Secret
ADOBE_ORG_ID	—	Adobe organization ID, e.g. 1234567890ABCDEF@AdobeOrg
ADOBE_BASE_URL	https://usermanagement.adobe.io/v2/usermanagement	UMAPI base URL
AUTH_MODE	gateway	env or gateway
MCP_TRANSPORT	stdio	stdio or http
MCP_HTTP_PORT	8080	HTTP server port
MCP_HTTP_HOST	0.0.0.0	HTTP server bind address

Get credentials: create a Project with User Management API enabled in the Adobe Developer Console (Enterprise organizations only — this API is not available for Teams / Education / individual Adobe IDs).

Test Examples

tools/list (gateway mode)

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/mcp \
  -H "x-adobe-client-id: your_client_id" \
  -H "x-adobe-client-secret: your_client_secret" \
  -H "x-adobe-org-id: 1234567890ABCDEF@AdobeOrg" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/list","id":1}'

tools/call — assign an Acrobat license

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/mcp \
  -H "x-adobe-client-id: your_client_id" \
  -H "x-adobe-client-secret: your_client_secret" \
  -H "x-adobe-org-id: 1234567890ABCDEF@AdobeOrg" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "tools/call",
    "id": 2,
    "params": {
      "name": "adobe_assign_license",
      "arguments": {"email": "[email protected]", "product_profile": "Acrobat Pro DC - Enterprise"}
    }
  }'

Missing headers → 401

curl -i -X POST http://localhost:8080/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/list","id":1}'
# HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
# {"error":"Missing credentials","required_headers":["x-adobe-client-id","x-adobe-client-secret","x-adobe-org-id"]}

API Reference

• UMAPI documentation
• OAuth Server-to-Server authentication
• Adobe Developer Console

Known Limitations

• No dedicated "list product profiles" endpoint — adobe_list_product_profiles calls the generic groups endpoint and filters client-side.
• No official Adobe sandbox for UMAPI — it requires a real Enterprise organization with at least one product profile to test against (Teams/Education/individual accounts cannot enable this API).
• Token exchange happens on every tool call (no caching), which adds latency but keeps the service fully stateless per the SOP requirement.
