  "description": "Canva's official remote MCP connects agents to editable design workflows: generate and edit designs, search libraries, manage assets and brand materials, export in delivery formats, resize for channels, and handle comments. For film teams it is the campaign and pitch-collateral bench: YouTube thumbnails, posters, social cutdowns, pitch decks, review decks, and branded variants around the actual film.",

  "notes": "Endpoint https://mcp.canva.com/mcp still returns 401 unauthenticated — alive and OAuth-gated. The published tools table now lists 33 tools, including a four-call editing-transaction flow (start / perform-operations / commit / cancel) and folder management, so agents that only know generate-and-export are leaving the edit surface unused. Plan gates unchanged: resize-design, list-brand-kits, search-brand-templates and create-design-from-brand-template need Pro or above; autofill-design and get-brand-template-dataset are Enterprise-only. Everything else is on all plans, rate-limited 20–100 req/min per tool. Canva documents the endpoint rather than a per-client command; CIMD is its recommended auth method and custom OAuth clients may need redirect-URI allowlisting."
