Canva is the visual design platform for creating graphics, presentations, social media content, and more. The Canva MCP server lets you design and manage your assets and brand content using natural language.
This is a third-party managed MCP server operated by Canva. Authentication uses OAuth — just connect your Canva account and start using it immediately.

​
What Can It Do?

  • Create and manage designs across various formats
  • Access brand assets like logos, colors, and fonts
  • Manage design content and templates

​
Where to Use It

Add Canva as a tool to any agent. The agent can then manage your design assets conversationally, choosing the right actions based on context. To add an MCP tool to your agent:
  1. Open your agent’s configuration
  2. Click Add tools → Connect an app with MCP
  3. Search for the integration and select it
  4. Authenticate with your Canva account
You can control which tools your agent has access to. After adding an integration, click on it to enable or disable specific tools based on what your agent needs.

​
In Workflows (Via Agent Node)

For automated pipelines, use an Agent Node with Canva tools. This gives you the flexibility of an agent within a deterministic workflow.

​
Authentication

Canva uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. When you connect the integration, you’ll be redirected to Canva to authorize access. No API keys or manual configuration required.

​
Example Prompts

Use these with your agent or in the Agent Node: Create a design: 
Create a new Instagram post design with our brand colors
Manage assets: 
Show me all my recent designs from this week
Access brand kit: 
What fonts and colors are in our brand kit?
