Canva users can now create, edit, and manage their designs by describing their requirements to Anthropic’s Claude AI.
After several integrations it allow Claude users to access third-party tools and services, including Figma, Notion, Stripe, and Prisma, without having to leave their conversation with the AI chatbot.
Claude users will be able to use natural language prompts to perform design tasks in their linked Canva account, such as creating presentations, resizing images, and auto-filling pre-made templates.
The integration also allows users to search for keywords in Canva documents, presentations, and brand templates and summarize them using Claude’s AI interface.
This feature requires both a paid Canva account (which starts at $15 per month) and a paid Claude account ($17 per month).
Anthropic is utilizing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that Canva launched last month, which provides Claude with secure access to user Canva content.
“Instead of uploading or manually transferring ideas, users can now generate, summarize, review, and publish Canva designs, all within a Claude chat,” Canva Ecosystem head Anwar Haneef said in a statement to The Verge.
“MCP makes this possible with a simple toggle in settings, marking a powerful shift toward user-friendly, AI-first workflows that combine creativity and productivity in one.”
Claude is the first AI assistant to support Canva design workflows through MCP, but the chatbot has offerings for other design platforms as well, thanks to a similar partnership with Figma announced last month.
