Overview

The Canva AI Connector is Canva's hosted MCP server for AI agents. After you sign in to Canva, your agent can generate designs from a description, edit text and images in a design, search your designs and folders, export files, upload images and read or reply to comments. Most tools work on every Canva plan, including Free; resizing (beyond a limited trial), autofill and brand kits need Pro or above. It suits people who already make posts, decks or flyers in Canva.

It works on the designs already in your Canva account, and edits happen in an editing session that is only saved when the agent commits it.
