The Canva MCP from Hermoso is a hosted MCP server: connect Canva once and Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other assistant you use can work in your Canva account for you. It is the same connection the Hermoso app uses, so you sign in once, and Canva sits next to the rest of the marketing Hermoso runs on autopilot for you.

Works wherever you already chat

It is one account, not one per app. Schedule something from Cursor and it shows up in your Hermoso calendar; draft a reply in Claude and it goes out from the same profile.

Set up the Canva MCP

  1. Open the app, go to Workspace ▸ Connectors and connect Canva. One authorisation covers the web app, the MCP server and the CLI.
  2. Add the Hermoso MCP server to your assistant. The URL is https://app.hermoso.ai/mcp. In Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the URL, then sign in on the consent page. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http hermoso https://app.hermoso.ai/mcp. There is no key to paste; the connector signs in with OAuth.
  3. Ask for what you want in plain words. The Canva tools are there with everything else Hermoso does.

Every other client and the CLI: MCP & CLI. Or see every channel we connect to.

Frequently asked questions

Can an AI agent post to Canva through Hermoso?

Yes. The Canva surface is exposed over one OAuth'd MCP endpoint, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Cline and the CLI can all drive it once the account is connected.

Do I need a separate Canva connection for the app and for MCP?

No. One authorisation covers the web app, the MCP server and the CLI. It is the same stored connection.

What is the Canva MCP server URL?

https://app.hermoso.ai/mcp. It is one hosted server for every channel Hermoso connects to, so there is no separate Canva server to install. Add it to your assistant as a custom connector and sign in with OAuth; no key to paste.
