Concrete capability record

Data, retrieval, actions, identity, and operating limits

A field-by-field summary of what the reviewed first-party references actually support. Publisher update dates and BYO-UI review dates are shown separately below.

01 · Records and state owned

Create, read, update, publish/unpublish and delete pages, content fragments and assets; run and inspect Cloud Manager pipelines; manage experience-governance requirements, with read-only/read-write variants and user approvals

02 · Data you can retrieve

Create, read, update, publish/unpublish and delete pages, content fragments and assets; run and inspect Cloud Manager pipelines; manage experience-governance requirements, with read-only/read-write variants and user approvals

03 · Actions and write paths

No Adobe Experience Manager MCP write was verified; the documented MCP surface is read-only. Use a separately authorized API or the native UI for mutations and do not attribute those writes to MCP.

04 · Authentication and permissions

Authentication model is documented by the vendor; inspect the cited source before implementation. Access uses Adobe identity and environment permissions; supported clients are allowlisted, and Adobe recommends human confirmation and lower-environment testing for content changes.

05 · Monitoring, approval, and recovery

Access uses Adobe identity and environment permissions; supported clients are allowlisted, and Adobe recommends human confirmation and lower-environment testing for content changes. AEM exposes several distinct servers rather than one generic MCP.
