dcc-mcp-photoshop vs hermes-agent

dcc-mcp-photoshop: This project integrates Adobe Photoshop with AI agents through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling automation of image editing workflows. It provides a Python SDK to control Photoshop via a high-performance Rust broker and UXP bridge, allowing agents to use typed tools for tasks like layer management, selections, filters, and exports.; hermes-agent: Hermes Agent is a self-improving AI agent from Nous Research with a built-in learning loop: it creates skills after complex tasks, improves them during use, searches its own past sessions and builds a model of the user over time. It works with any model provider, talks through a terminal UI or Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp and Signal, and runs on local, Docker, SSH or serverless backends.
