canva

canva is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TerminalSkills/skills. It costs 136 tokens per session (3,304 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A way for an agent to automate Canva, a web-based design tool, through an AI Connector or the Connect REST API. It supports creating, finding, editing, autofilling, uploading, exporting, and organizing designs where the chosen interface allows it.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps automate design creation and editing, fill brand templates, upload assets, export files, and manage folders or comments through Canva's available interfaces.
Why use it?
It connects design work to agent conversations, batch jobs, servers, and CI instead of requiring every operation to be done manually in Canva.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

canva scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Canva — Design Automation via MCP and the Connect API

Overview

Canva exposes two automation surfaces, and picking the wrong one wastes an afternoon:

AI Connector MCP Connect REST API
Endpoint https://mcp.canva.com/mcp https://api.canva.com/rest/v1/
Auth client-managed OAuth (browser once) OAuth 2.0 + PKCE you implement
Best for interactive work in a chat/agent session batch jobs, servers, CI, other people's accounts
Editing yes — editing transactions no (create / autofill / export only)

Use the MCP connector with a human in the loop; use the Connect API for unattended runs, hundred-row fan-outs, or acting for users other than the developer. (A third server, the Dev MCP at canva.dev, only serves docs for building Canva apps — it does not touch designs.)

Instructions

Setup A — AI Connector MCP

claude mcp add --transport http canva https://mcp.canva.com/mcp

Clients without HTTP transport go through the bridge: npx -y mcp-remote@latest https://mcp.canva.com/mcp. The first call opens a browser to authorize the Canva account; the client stores the token. Verify with tools/list.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
