Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.
execFile(file, args, { encoding: 'utf8', timeout: timeoutMs, maxBuffer: 64 * 1024 * 1024, windowsHide: true }, (error, stdout, stderr) => {
eval('if (0) {\n' + code + '\n}');
Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
Today is the operative word: we check Illustrator MCP Server every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
ILLUSTRATOR_APP_NAME (macOS only: address a specific copy, e.g. "Adobe Illustrator 2025". Default: Illustrator by bundle id), ILLUSTRATOR_ALLOWED_DIRS (Extra directories allowed for file operations (':' on macOS, ';' on Windows)), ILLUSTRATOR_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT_MS (How long to wait for Illustrator before reporting that a dialog may be open. Default 120000).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
