Canva (MCP) - Nango Docs

🚀 Quickstart

Connect to Canva (MCP) with Nango 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 Nango (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 secret key, integration ID, and connection ID:

cURL
Node

curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/mcp" \
  -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-SECRET-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"
        }
    }
}'

Install Nango’s backend SDK with npm i @nangohq/node. Then run:

import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';

const nango = new Nango({ secretKey: '<NANGO-SECRET-KEY>' });

const res = await nango.post({
    endpoint: '/mcp',
    providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
    connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>',
    body: {
        jsonrpc: '2.0',
        id: 1,
        method: 'initialize',
        params: {
            protocolVersion: '2024-11-05',
            capabilities: {},
            clientInfo: { name: 'my-app', version: '1.0.0' }
        }
    }
});

console.log(res.data);

Or fetch credentials with the Node SDK or API.✅ You’re connected! Check the Logs tab in Nango to inspect requests.
