MCP Server
Canva MCP
The official remote Canva server for design search, creation, editing, brand assets, comments, resizing, and export.
What is Canva MCP?
Canva MCP brings common Canva production tasks into an authorized AI workflow. A client can find designs and assets, generate or edit supported content, work with brand resources, manage comments, resize outputs, and export formats such as PDF, PNG, JPG, PPTX, or MP4. Availability depends on the connected Canva plan and client integration, so the server should be treated as a permissioned production surface rather than an unrestricted design API.
