# Connect the Canva MCP server

> Connect Canva's hosted MCP server (the Canva AI Connector) to Spojit to generate and edit designs, search assets, autofill templates, and export.

Canva hosts an MCP server, the **Canva AI Connector**, that lets AI agents generate and edit designs, search designs and folders, upload assets, autofill brand templates, add comments, and export. Connect it to Spojit to produce social graphics from a content workflow or export finished designs for delivery.

<Note>
  Spojit connects to this server through a [custom MCP server](/connectors/remote-mcp-servers/custom) connection, so you add it with **Add custom server** rather than from the connector catalog. Canva maintains it and decides which tools it offers; see [Canva's AI Connector help article](https://www.canva.com/help/mcp-agent-setup/) and [MCP documentation](https://www.canva.dev/docs/mcp/) for the current list.

## Before you start

* A **Canva Pro, Teams, Business, or Nonprofit** plan. Each person who connects needs their own Canva account.
* On a team, an admin can turn access on or off under **Controls and Permissions > Third-party integrations > Canva AI Connector**.

## Use it in a workflow

Add a **Connector** node, pick your Canva server under **Custom Servers**, and choose **Agent Mode** or **Direct Mode**. See [Use a custom server in a workflow](/connectors/remote-mcp-servers/custom#use-a-custom-server-in-a-workflow).
