Canva (MCP)

Integrate your application with the Canva MCP API

🚀 Quickstart

Connect to Canva (MCP) with Tenklo and start calling tools in minutes. Canva MCP uses OAuth 2.0 with dynamic client registration, meaning no app registration is required.

Create the integration

In Tenklo (free signup), go to Integrations -> Configure New Integration -> Canva (MCP).

Authorize Canva

Go to Connections -> Add Test Connection -> Authorize, then log in to Canva. Later, you'll let your users do the same directly from your app.

Call a Canva MCP tool

Make your first MCP request to Canva to initialize a session. Replace the placeholders below with your Environment API key, integration ID, and connection ID:

curl "https://api.tenklo.dev/proxy/mcp" \
  -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-API-KEY>" \
  -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
  -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "initialize",
    "params": {
        "protocolVersion": "2024-11-05",
        "capabilities": {},
        "clientInfo": {
            "name": "my-app",
            "version": "1.0.0"
        }
    }
}'

Or fetch credentials with the Node SDK or API.

✅ You're connected! Check the Logs tab in Tenklo to inspect requests.
