## What it does

This server links MCP-compatible assistants to Adobe Experience Manager instances over standard I/O. Through ACM endpoints, the model runs Groovy jobs and monitors background execution. It can also inspect console output directly. You can register multiple author and publish nodes to compare differences across instances.

Every request executes under the credentials supplied in the configuration file. The server handles basic authentication for local setups and bearer tokens for cloud deployments. Mark sensitive environments with `readonly: true` to prevent the model from altering critical nodes.

Setup requires Node.js 22 or later. ACM must be installed on every target AEM host. If you intend to execute scripts without logging history entries, ACM 0.9.74 or newer is required.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Environment variables: `ACM_CONFIG_FILE`, `ACM_CONFIG` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.

## When to use it
- execute and debug Groovy scripts on AEM
- inspect logs and console output from background runs
- compare configuration and content between author and publish
- check connectivity across cloud and local AEM instances

## Example prompts
- Call `acm_health` to verify all configured AEM environments.
- Run this Groovy cleanup script on the local-author instance.
- Check execution logs from the latest script run on dev.
