Installation

Claude Desktop Setup

  1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yunwoong/aws-nova-canvas-mcp.git
  1. Configure Claude Desktop
    • Click on Claude > Settings from the Claude Desktop menu.
    • When the popup appears, select Developer from the left menu, and click the Edit Settings button.
    • This will open a folder containing the settings file. The name of this settings file is:
    • claude_desktop_config.json
  1. Add the following content to the settings file (Python version):
    • python version
      "nova-canvas": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "Path to clone folder", "run", "server.py" ], "env": { "AWS_PROFILE": "YOUR_AWS_PROFILE" } }

      ✅ Only AWS_PROFILE is required. Other variables like AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION, and PORT are optional and not necessary if your AWS profile is set correctly.

      ​ ⚙️ If the setup is completed successfully, you can see that the "nova-canvas" item has been added in Claude > Settings > Developer tab. ⚠️ Important: MCP settings only work on the Claude desktop app, not the Claude web browser version
