Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Full-CRUD server for AEP, Journey Optimizer and CJA. 61 tools from one OAuth credential.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: AEP_CLIENT_ID, AEP_CLIENT_SECRET, AEP_ORG_ID

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: AEP_CLIENT_ID, AEP_CLIENT_SECRET, AEP_ORG_ID, AEP_SANDBOX_NAME, AEP_MODE, LOG_LEVEL

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aep": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@focusgts/aep-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AEP_CLIENT_ID": "your-value",
        "AEP_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-value",
        "AEP_ORG_ID": "your-value",
        "AEP_SANDBOX_NAME": "your-value",
        "AEP_MODE": "your-value",
        "LOG_LEVEL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add aep --env AEP_CLIENT_ID=your-value --env AEP_CLIENT_SECRET=your-value --env AEP_ORG_ID=your-value --env AEP_SANDBOX_NAME=your-value --env AEP_MODE=your-value --env LOG_LEVEL=your-value -- npx -y @focusgts/aep-mcp-server

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aep": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@focusgts/aep-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AEP_CLIENT_ID": "your-value",
        "AEP_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-value",
        "AEP_ORG_ID": "your-value",
        "AEP_SANDBOX_NAME": "your-value",
        "AEP_MODE": "your-value",
        "LOG_LEVEL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "aep": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@focusgts/aep-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AEP_CLIENT_ID": "your-value",
        "AEP_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-value",
        "AEP_ORG_ID": "your-value",
        "AEP_SANDBOX_NAME": "your-value",
        "AEP_MODE": "your-value",
        "LOG_LEVEL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • AEP_CLIENT_ID required env
    Adobe I/O client ID from an OAuth Server-to-Server credential in the Adobe Developer Console.
  • AEP_CLIENT_SECRET secret required env
    Adobe I/O client secret paired with AEP_CLIENT_ID.
  • AEP_ORG_ID required env
    Adobe IMS organization ID, in the form xxxxxxxxx@AdobeOrg.
  • AEP_SANDBOX_NAME env
    AEP sandbox to scope every call to. Defaults to 'prod'. Use a development sandbox to enable write operations.
  • AEP_MODE env
    Write posture: 'read-only' (no mutation anywhere), 'safe' (default — writes only in sandboxes Adobe classifies as development), or 'production' (writes anywhere). Reads are never restricted.
  • LOG_LEVEL env
    Pino log level. Logs go to stderr; stdout is reserved for the MCP JSON-RPC stream.

Common questions

Is Aep safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: AEP_CLIENT_ID, AEP_CLIENT_SECRET, AEP_ORG_ID

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.11.1) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

Adobe's MCP lets your agent *read* Experience Platform. This one lets it work.

61 tools across 14 categories. Full read AND write. Self-hosted, Apache-2.0, no invitation required. Experience Platform, Journey Optimizer and Customer Journey Analytics — from one OAuth credential.

Ingest a batch → compose a schema → activate an audience → honour an erasure. Every mutation gated by a fail-closed write guard that asks Adobe what kind of sandbox it's in.


⚡ Do it in three lines

claude mcp add aep \

-e AEP_CLIENT_ID=... -e AEP_CLIENT_SECRET=... \ -e AEP_ORG_ID=...@AdobeOrg -e AEP_SANDBOX_NAME=your-dev-sandbox \ -- npx -y @focusgts/aep-mcp-server

Then just ask your agent:

*"Create a schema with the Demographic Details field group, then a dataset on it."*

*"Ingest this NDJSON file and tell me when the batch lands."*

*"Build an audience of customers who bought twice this quarter and activate it."*

*"Delete every record for this email address — dry run first."*

Writes are off until you ask for them, and safe mode only unlocks sandboxes Adobe classifies as development.

The loop that makes it different
flowchart LR

A["📐 Compose schema from field groups"] --> B["🗂️ Create dataset"] B --> C["📥 Ingest batch · upload · complete"] C --> D["🎯 Activate segment → destination"] D --> E["🧹 Govern erasure · expiration · quota"] E -. "re-audit the tenant" .-> A

Adobe's first-party gateway can *tell you* what's in your Experience Platform tenant. It cannot create a dataset, land a batch, activate an audience, or submit an erasure. This does — and does it behind a guard that fails closed.


🧠 How it works

flowchart LR

A["AI agent (Claude · Cursor · Copilot)"] -- MCP / stdio --> B["aep-mcp-server 61 tools"] B --> W{{"write guard fail-closed"}} W --> C["Schema Registry · Catalog Ingestion · Lifecycle · Privacy"] C --> F["Your AEP sandbox platform.adobe.io"] B --> J["Journey Optimizer read-only"] J --> K["ajo campaigns"] B --> Q["Customer Journey Analytics read-only, no sandbox"] Q --> L["cja.adobe.io"]

The agent calls tools; the server talks to live Adobe APIs over OAuth Server-to-Server. The write guard sits in the HTTP client, not in each tool, so all 61 inherit it and none can forget it. Blocked calls never reach Adobe.


🛡️ Safe by default

Three postures. Reads are never restricted in any mode.

AEP_MODEWrites permittedUse it when
read-onlyNever, in any sandboxHanding the server to someone to explore an environment you don't want touched
`safe` *(default)*Only where Adobe classifies the sandbox developmentEvaluating, or letting an agent work without risking production
productionAnywhere, including productionYou run your own change control and don't want the server second-guessing you

How `safe` decides — and why it's not the sandbox name.

A production sandbox can be called anything, and a sandbox called prod might not be production. Only Adobe's type field from the Sandbox Management API decides.

It fails closed. If the type can't be determined — the credential can't read sandbox metadata, the API errors, startup hasn't finished — writes are blocked. A credential must not earn write access by being *less* capable. An unrecognised AEP_MODE falls back to safe, so a typo can never grant production writes.

A sandbox literally named `prod` is refused unconditionally, before mode resolution — so AEP_MODE=production does not lift it. Override with AEP_I_UNDERSTAND_THIS_WRITES_TO_PROD=true only if that really is your sandbox's name. The inference is deliberately asymmetric: trusting a name to *allow* a write is unsafe, trusting one to *deny* a write is safe, because the worst case is a refusal you can override on purpose.

Mutations are off entirely unless AEP_ALLOW_MUTATIONS=true. That is separate from AEP_MODE on purpose: choosing a write mode should not also mean "yes, you may change my data".

Startup always states the active posture:

SAFE MODE — sandbox is a development sandbox, so writes are ENABLED.

SAFE MODE — sandbox is PRODUCTION, so writes are BLOCKED. Reads work normally. SAFE MODE — sandbox type could not be confirmed, so writes are BLOCKED (fail-closed). READ-ONLY MODE — no write, update, or delete will be performed in any sandbox. PRODUCTION MODE — writes permitted against ANY sandbox, including production.

Per-tool confirmation gates

Writes are not *uniformly* gated — uniform gating makes an agent useless. Gates sit where an action is irreversible and wide-reaching, and every one is checked before any network call:

ToolGate
aep_create_record_deletedryRun defaults true. Real submission needs confirm: "DELETE RECORDS " — bound to the dataset and a SHA-256 digest of the exact identity set, so a confirmation can't be reused for a different deletion. ALL and multi-dataset targets are refused.
aep_delete_segmentconfirm: "DELETE SEGMENT " — segments were create-only until 0.9.1, so every one an agent made was permanent
aep_delete_datasetconfirm: "DELETE DATASET ", escalating to "DELETE PROFILE-ENABLED DATASET " when the dataset feeds Profile
aep_complete_batchconfirm: "COMPLETE BATCH " — the point of no return for ingestion
aep_revert_batchconfirm: "REVERT BATCH "
aep_create_dataset_expirationconfirm: "CREATE DATASET EXPIRATION " — unless dryRun: true
aep_update_dataset_expirationconfirm: "UPDATE DATASET EXPIRATION "
aep_cancel_dataset_expirationconfirm: "CANCEL DATASET EXPIRATION "
aep_delete_profileconfirm: "I understand this is irreversible" *(deprecated — prefer Data Hygiene)*

Confirmations name their target. A phrase carrying the dataset id — and for record delete, a hash of the identities too — cannot be copied from one call to another. A generic "I understand this is irreversible" approves *any* deletion once you've typed it once.

Identity values never leave the process. aep_create_record_delete returns a count, the namespace names, and a digest — never the email addresses or device IDs you passed it. A record-delete request is by nature a list of real people; a tool that echoes them copies them into every transcript and log sink it touches.

Batch creation and file upload are ungated on purpose: those writes are additive and recoverable. An unwanted batch can be left uncompleted, and data that did land can be removed with the Data Hygiene tools.

Tool annotations

Every tool ships MCP annotations — readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint — derived from the same metadata that builds its description, so the two cannot drift.

Count
readOnlyHint: true39
destructiveHint: true8
Un-annotated0

These are hints *for the client*, not enforcement — the guards above enforce. Their value is that a client like Claude Desktop uses destructiveHint to decide when to interrupt and ask a human. Without them aep_delete_profile looks identical to aep_list_schemas. A test asserts the destructive list exactly, so a ninth is a deliberate act rather than an oversight.

What's actually been run against a live tenant is recorded per tool in docs/VALIDATION-MATRIX.md — including the surfaces that are documented-and-mocked but deliberately never executed, and why.

Adobe Journey Optimizer (2)

AJO is a separate Adobe product, licensed separately — hence the ajo_ prefix, so an entitlement failure reads as one.

Campaigns

  • ajo_list_campaigns
  • ajo_get_campaign

Campaigns is the only AJO surface reachable on our tenant. Journeys, messages, channel surfaces, content templates, fragments, offers and decisions all return an HTML 404 — the gateway has no such route — so they are deliberately not implemented.
