## What it 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.
