Canvora – visuals for AI agents

Turn any idea, URL, doc, or PDF into on-brand visuals: 100+ formats (posts, carousels, decks, ads, documents), generated natively in 150+ languages. Brand kits keep colors, fonts, logo, and tone consistent per client.

This repo is the agent-facing toolkit for Canvora:

  • Remote MCP server — for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. Nothing to install.

  • canvora CLI — for OpenClaw, Hermes, cron jobs, CI, and anything that runs shell commands. Zero dependencies.

  • OpenClaw skill — in skills/canvora/.

The Canvora service itself is hosted; this repo contains client tooling and docs only.

Option 1 — MCP (Claude, ChatGPT, any MCP client)

One remote server, OAuth sign-in, 16 tools your agent discovers on connect:

Server URL

https://api.canvora.ai/mcp (streamable HTTP)

Claude

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → OAuth Client ID claude_mcp

ChatGPT

Settings → Apps → Developer mode → Create app → OAuth Client ID chatgpt_mcp

Registry

ai.canvora/canvora on the official MCP Registry

Step-by-step: canvora.ai/help/integrations/mcp-setup

Option 2 — CLI (OpenClaw, Hermes, shell-native agents)

npm install -g @canvora/cli

# or install the agent skill (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode and 60+ agents):
npx skills add canvora/canvora-mcp

export CANVORA_API_KEY=vd_...   # create at canvora.ai → Integrations → API Keys

# one atomic command: generates, polls, exits with the output URLs
canvora generate \
  --idea "5 tips for remote work" \
  --format linkedin_carousel --slides linkedin_carousel=5 \
  --wait --json

Commands

Command

What it does

canvora generate

Create visuals from an --idea (short concept, Canvora develops it), --input (your full content text), --url, or --file-url (PDF). --wait polls to completion and prints output URLs.

canvora localize <id> --language es

Same design, new language: translates an existing generation's visuals, layout untouched

canvora variations <id> [--count n]

Fresh takes on an existing generation's visuals

canvora edit <outputId> --prompt "..."

Natural-language edit of one visual (previews the change; --yes auto-confirms)

canvora status <id>

Check a generation and list its output URLs

canvora download <id> --dir out/

Save all output files locally

canvora formats

All 100+ format IDs with dimensions

canvora brands

Your brand kits (pass one via --brand <uuid>)

canvora credits

Credit balance (10 credits per visual, 15 per carousel/deck slide)

Every command takes --json for machine-readable stdout; progress and errors go to stderr, so piping stays clean. Exit codes: 0 success, 1 failure, 2 usage error.

Generate flags

--idea "concept"          short concept - Canvora develops it into content
--input "text"            your full content text, used as the source material
--url <url>               extract content from a webpage
--file-url <pdf-url>      extract content from a PDF
--format <id>[,<id>...]   output formats (see: canvora formats)
--slides <format>=<n>     slide count for carousel/deck formats (1-10, default 5); match it to the item count your idea promises
--brand <uuid>            apply a brand kit
--style <name>            modern | minimal | bold | elegant | playful | corporate | creative | dark
--resolution 2K|4K        4K on paid plans
--language <code-or-name> visual text language ("es", "Spanish"); default: matches your input's language
--exact                   use --input text verbatim, no rewording (quotes, taglines)
--workspace <uuid>        bill a team workspace pool instead of your personal credits
--wait                    poll until done (--timeout 600, --poll 5 seconds)
--json                    machine-readable output

Option 3 — Raw REST

curl -X POST https://api.canvora.ai/api/generations \
  -H "X-API-Key: vd_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "inputType": "text",
    "inputContent": "5 tips for remote work",
    "outputFormats": ["linkedin_carousel"],
    "carouselCounts": {"linkedin_carousel": 5}
  }'

Built to be called by software

  • Predictable costs — flat credit pricing (10/visual, 15/slide); canvora credits before big jobs; failed generations auto-refund.

  • Human in the loop — everything your agent creates also lands in your Canvora dashboard, ready for review, editing, and export before it goes anywhere.

  • Scoped, revocable keys — hashed at rest, per-key usage tracking, one-click revoke.

  • Outputs on a CDN — stable URLs your agent can post, embed, or hand to a scheduler.

  • Works on every plan — API and MCP access included on Free (free credits, no card).
