MCP ServersSidekick for Indesign
Created at 20 days ago

Sidekick lets your AI Assistant to InDesign. Not "talk about" InDesign. Actually control it. Fix your spacing, apply styles, reformat tables—the tedious stuff you know how to do but really don't want to do manually. And for complex talks, you were always able to use ExtendScript, if you learned it. Now you can just ask for what you want in plain English. It works with Claude, Cursor, Windsurf—anything that speaks MCP. And your documents never leave your machine.
