Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint.

One request can adapt a layout for Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, change text, swap media, reposition and resize elements, or translate the copy. Two of the skills are review rather than production. One returns structured notes covering visual hierarchy, layout, readability, and consistency, plus accessibility; another reads existing comment threads and applies the changes requested there. A brand check compares colors, fonts, logo placement, and wording against a saved Brand Kit. A connected Canva account is required. Bulk creation from spreadsheet rows against a brand template needs an eligible Enterprise plan. Designs can also be opened in the Canva editor for manual work. ### Who it is for Teams with designs already in Canva who want resizing, edits, and brand checks handled from chat. ### What stands out It critiques designs and acts on comment threads, rather than only producing new artwork. Availability ## Where Canva is listed Canva ships this on both marketplaces: Canva is listed in the Claude connectors directory and in the ChatGPT apps directory, under the same publisher domain. Only 392 of the 3,150 products in this directory are listed in both marketplaces. One MCP server can serve both surfaces; what differs is each platform's listing and review process.

Claude listing ## In the Claude connectors directory Canva publishes 17 tools to Claude, deeper than 64.2% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Creative & Design publishes 9, so this one runs 8 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 5th of 17 by tool count. It falls in the 11-20 tools band, which holds 22.5% of the Claude directory. Canva publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally. Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there. Publisher Canva Verification Verified partner (37.8% of the Claude directory) Filed under Creative & Design Endpoint `https://mcp.canva.com/mcp` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://www.canva.dev/docs/connect/canva-mcp-server-setup/) Published tools 17 · 11-20 tools band Depth rank in Creative & Design 5 of 17 Snapshot August 2026 Canva carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server. In the publisher's words ## How Canva describes it > Browse, summarize, autofill, and even generate new Canva designs directly from Claude. Make Canva a native part of your AI workflow—an AI-powered design agent that helps you create polished visuals faster, with less friction.
