every project:
{
"mcpServers": {
"canva": {
"url": "https://mcp.canva.com/mcp"
}
}
}A green dot in Settings → MCP means it connected.
Add to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"canva": {
"type": "http",

}
}

How do I connect Canva to Claude?

Do I need to install anything to use the Canva MCP server?
No. It is a remote server hosted by Canva, so your MCP client connects to it over HTTP. You authenticate with the vendor rather than installing a package.
