Canva Developers SDK
Canva's developer platform: Connect REST API, Apps SDK and MCP server for integrating Canva's design and generative-AI capabilities.
Description
Canva Developers SDK is Canva's official developer platform that unifies three surfaces: the Connect REST API (integrating Canva with external apps and workflows), the Apps SDK (apps running inside the Canva editor) and an MCP server (exposing Canva's capabilities to AI assistants and agents).
The Connect API provides operations over designs, assets, folders, exports, brand templates, comments and data autofill, as well as generative capabilities such as design generation and image generation and transformation. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 (Authorization Code with PKCE, SHA-256), and the API is REST-based with a publicly available OpenAPI description.
The platform targets developers building integrations, apps and AI agents that use Canva as a creative layer.
