About Canva MCP
The official Canva MCP server lets AI agents create new Canva designs, edit existing ones, apply templates, insert brand assets, and export finished graphics — all without opening the Canva web app. Agents can generate social media graphics, presentations, or marketing materials from a prompt, then export them as PNG, PDF, or MP4. It connects to your Canva account via OAuth and respects all brand kit and folder permissions set in your workspace.
Canva MCP is a Design MCP server designed for developers and AI power users. It enables extending AI assistants with real-world capabilities by exposing a structured set of tools over the Model Context Protocol.

It integrates with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client, and is best suited for developers and AI power users who need ai engineers wiring assistants into real tools.
