Claude + MATE just controlled InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator simultaneously.

Everyone's posting about connecting Claude to Figma and "Paper." MATE users have had this since 2 years. But I wanted to try the new MCP approach anyway. The result is wild.

1/4 Here's how it works:
-> Claude connects to MATE in InDesign
-> Ask Claude to perform tasks for you: Removes unused styles, fix broken links.

2/4 Magic part #1:
-> Via MATE, Claude also connects to Photoshop 🤯-> Generates an image, saves it, places it directly into your InDesign document

Magic part #2:
-> Claude connects to Illustrator 🤯
-> Generates a background pattern and drops it straight into the layout

3/4 Magic part #3:
-> The MATE desktop app ties everything together 🤯
-> Claude acts as an orchestrator across all apps at once

"Connected design tools" are not coming. They are here.
