# Canva MCP: Use Canva in Slack and Email

Source: https://maito.app/integrations/canva

Connect the Canva MCP server to Maito with one sign-in, and your whole team can use it from Slack or email: “Make five Instagram posts from our event template with these speaker names.”

Canva is where your team designs. Maito can search, create, fill in and export designs. Connect the Canva MCP server to Maito once, and everyone on your team can use Canva from Slack, by email, or from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse. Nobody else has to sign in.

## How to connect Canva

Open Connections in your workspace and choose Connect next to Canva. You sign in to Canva in a new tab, and that's the whole setup. Name the account and choose Workspace under who can use it. That's the only time anyone signs in: your whole team, shared chats and Loops can use Canva from then on. Or skip ahead and ask for the work: Maito sends you a link if Canva isn't connected yet.

## Questions

### What is the Canva MCP server URL?

Canva publishes it at https://mcp.canva.com/mcp, and it signs in with OAuth, so there's no key to copy.

### Can I use the Canva MCP server from Slack?

Yes. Connect it to Maito once, then mention Maito in any Slack channel or send it a direct message. The same connection works by email and from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse.

### Does everyone on my team have to connect Canva?

No. One person connects it once and chooses Workspace. Then everyone in the workspace, shared chats and Loops can use Canva, without signing in themselves. Choose Only me instead to keep it to your own chats.

### Do I have to connect Canva before I ask?

No. If a request needs Canva and it isn't connected yet, your agent sends you a link. Connect it, and the work picks up where it stopped.

### Can I limit what Maito does in Canva?

Yes. After you connect, turn off any Canva tools you don't want Maito to use, such as the ones that change data. Tools Canva adds later stay off until you turn them on.
