Run in a terminal

$npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx -y @alisaitteke/photoshop-mcp

1. The Inspector command opens a debugging UI so you can call tools without any client.
2. ChatGPT and claude.ai in the browser only accept remote connectors and cannot reach a local Photoshop — use the Web UI instead.

$npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx -y @alisaitteke/photoshop-mcp
