Questions

What is the Sidekick for InDesign MCP server?

Lets Claude (or any other AI assistant) work in your open Adobe InDesign documents. It is made by sidekick.eastpole.nl and listed in the official MCP Registry as nl.eastpole.sidekick/indesign. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI apps like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor use outside tools.

How do I add Sidekick for InDesign to Claude?

In Claude Code, run: claude mcp add indesign -- npx -y indesign-sidekick@1.0.35

How do I add Sidekick for InDesign to ChatGPT?

ChatGPT only connects to remote MCP servers, and Sidekick for InDesign runs on your own computer. Use it from Claude, Cursor or another app that runs local servers.

How do I add Sidekick for InDesign to Cursor?

Open Cursor settings, go to MCP, choose "Add new MCP server" (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json) and add: { "mcpServers": { "indesign": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "indesign-sidekick@1.0.35" ] } } }

Does Sidekick for InDesign work right now?

It runs on your own computer, so it works once you install it. There is no remote server for us to check.
