What the code does

We have not read this server's code yet

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Name looks like a popular package canvas-mcp

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch Canva MCP and you get told the day something new turns up.

Canva MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Canva MCP?

Canva MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package canva-mcp was installed 177 times last week.

Is Canva MCP still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect Canva MCP?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls canva-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Canva MCP?

The pypi package canva-mcp was installed 177 times in the last week. Week over week that is -6%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
