Canvora — Claude Code MCP server: on-brand visual generation
Turns a concept, link, document or PDF into finished branded visuals across 82 formats and 150+ languages. Handy when your agent needs images without a designer.
claude mcp add --transport http canvora https://api.canvora.ai/mcpWhat Canvora does
Canvora is a hosted MCP server that plugs into your agent and exposes 16 tools for visual generation. The agent writes the brief; Canvora handles the design. Outputs come back as stable CDN URLs you can post, embed or pass to a scheduler.
The format catalog covers 82 entries: posts, carousels, decks, PDFs, ads, infographics and landing-page kits. Brand kits lock every output to the client's colors, fonts, logo and tone. Text renders in 150+ languages, RTL and CJK included. A canvora CLI serves shell-native agents, cron jobs and CI, and 11 task-specific skills cover Instagram and LinkedIn carousels, pitch decks, multi-page PDFs, ad campaigns and data infographics.
You need a CANVORA_API_KEY, created under Integrations → API Keys. The service itself is hosted, so there is nothing to run locally. Generation burns credits: 10 per visual, 15 per carousel or deck slide. Without the key the CLI will not start.
What it helps with
- build a LinkedIn carousel from a draft post
- produce a multi-page branded PDF report
- localize an existing campaign into several languages
- generate an ad set with multiple variants
- assemble a landing page visual kit from its URL
Example prompts for the agent
- Generate a 5-slide LinkedIn carousel from the idea "5 tips for remote work"
- Turn this data into a data-infographic
- Localize this generation into Spanish, keep the layout as is
