How do create your custom AEM MCP server on AppBuilder? What are your custom MCP tools usecase?

Hello awesome community guys,

 

I found one missing tool in AEM MCP arsenal. Ended writing a custom mcp server that runs on AIO AppBuilder as runtime action.

Explained here https://medium.com/@bsaravanaprakash/one-missing-tool-in-aem-mcp-registry-and-how-to-build-it-on-aio-902cc13b1afa

With this learnt experience, I quickly identified couple more tools usecases on my custom mcp server.

  1. Optimized product image search - tool will first hit PIM to resolve to more accurate tags and then hits DAM querying customized tags. Returns accurate product images
  2. Taxonomy Resolver - our DAM is massive (3.4M) and taxonomy follows rules. freetext image search mostly timesout due to volume. So custom tool, that runs taxonomy rules, narrows dam folder path and then run Adobe MCP asset search using querybuilder. 

 

Is there any more usecases you are able to find? Tool example, that is difficult with Adobe MCP registry, and qualifies for its own custom server?  Please do share, ready to flex my muscles.

Great work ​@sarav_prakash , this is a very practical extension to the AEM MCP ecosystem.

If the use case needs only a direct AEM operation, Adobe MCP may be enough. But if it needs rules, intelligence, validations, multiple systems or enterprise workflow then a custom MCP server is absolutely justified.

 

Thanks

    thanks ​@avesh_narang , absolutely right. moving toward AI-assisted operations, its important to stack all required tools before operations can consume. Writing the first tool motivates to think and write more tools for special usecases.
