A production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for Canva Connect REST API, optimized for 1-Click Deployment on Vercel and direct integration with Spark Gemini, Claude Desktop, and Cursor IDE.


🌟 Highlights

  • 20+ Canva Tools: Covers design creation, brand template autofill, asset uploads, folder management, and format export (PDF, PNG, JPG, PPTX, MP4).

  • Stateless Authentication: Uses CANVA_ACCESS_TOKEN via Bearer auth headers without any external database dependencies.

  • MCP Spec Compliant: Fully supports protocol version 2024-11-05 JSON-RPC over HTTP with open CORS for remote clients.
