What the Canva MCP server does

Published by Canva as part of its Developers SDK, this server exposes design creation and editing, asset and brand management, library lookup, export, and commenting as MCP-compatible tools. An assistant can produce designs from written descriptions and specifications, make targeted changes to existing designs through plain-language instructions, and look up designs, pages, and folders within a library. It can upload and sort assets, manage folders, and reach brand kits and templates, export designs as PDF, PNG, JPG, PPTX, or MP4 and resize them for different channels, and add comments to designs that feed back into workflows.
