Direct answer: Finta's Aurora catalog includes Canva's remote MCP server at https://mcp.canva.com/mcp. After a user authorizes Canva, the provider documents tools for finding and working with designs, assets, comments, folders, and exports within that user's Canva access.
This guide is for teams using Finta as relationship intelligence around a capital, investor, customer, or company-building workflow. Canva remains the source system for its records. Aurora can use only the context and actions exposed to the connected account.
How the Canva connection works
| Connection detail | Current Finta guidance |
|---|---|
| Classification | Catalog MCP |
| Configured endpoint | https://mcp.canva.com/mcp |
| Authentication and transport | Provider OAuth through Aurora; Streamable HTTP |
| Source of truth | Canva remains authoritative for provider records, permissions, and action results. |
| Human control | Review external communication, record changes, financial actions, publishing, deletion, and other consequential work before execution. |
What you can use it for
- Search Canva designs and retrieve design metadata that the connected user can access.
- Create or edit supported design content using Canva's documented MCP tools and templates.
- Review comments and organize supported assets or designs in folders.
- Export an approved design in a supported format for a pitch, update, or campaign.
- Use Brand Kit resources only when the connected Canva plan and user permissions provide access.
These uses summarize the current provider documentation and Finta catalog purpose. The exact tool inventory varies by provider version, plan, workspace, user permissions, region, and authorization scopes.
Relationship intelligence workflows for Canva
Prepare an investor meeting visual
Outcome: Export only the approved version for the meeting.
- Find the approved pitch deck or one-page design by name.
- Prepare a proposed visual update from confirmed fundraising facts.
- Ask the owner to review the design, language, and audience fit in Canva.
- Export only the approved version for the meeting.
Human decision: Aurora may prepare and locate materials, but a person approves claims, design changes, and external distribution.
Refresh an investor update graphic
Outcome: Have the relationship owner approve the final export before it is shared.
- Locate the prior update design and its source assets.
- Identify comments or requested changes that remain open.
- Prepare a new version using verified company metrics.
- Have the relationship owner approve the final export before it is shared.
Human decision: Do not infer performance metrics or publish a design based only on draft CRM notes.
How to connect Canva to Aurora
- In Aurora, open Apps and select Canva from the approved catalog.
- Start the OAuth flow for https://mcp.canva.com/mcp and sign in to the intended Canva account.
- Review the requested Canva permissions and select the correct team or workspace context.
- Complete authorization, then confirm that Aurora discovers Canva tools.
- Run a read-only search for a non-sensitive test design before attempting an edit or export.
Open the official Finta apps directory to confirm the catalog entry before authorizing a provider account.
Permissions and approval boundary
Canva authorization is user-specific and follows the user's Canva access. Grant the least access available. Require human review before changing brand assets, editing investor claims, responding to comments, exporting confidential materials, or distributing any output.
Limitations to understand
- Tool availability depends on the connected Canva plan, workspace, and user permissions.
- Canva documents rate limits and per-tool constraints that can change over time.
- A generated or edited design is not evidence that its financial or fundraising claims are correct.
- The catalog entry does not prove that every Canva MCP tool has been exercised through Aurora.
Verification checklist
- Confirm the official endpoint remains https://mcp.canva.com/mcp and that OAuth completes in Aurora.
- Capture the discovered tool inventory and compare it with Canva's current tool reference.
- Run a safe search-designs call against a non-sensitive test design and retain the receipt.
- Test one controlled edit or export only after a human approves the exact action.
- Record plan gates, scopes, rate limits, verification date, and any unsupported tools before publication.
Verification status: On 2026-08-22, Finta confirmed that this connector appears in the enabled production Aurora catalog and reviewed the configured endpoint, authentication type, and first-party sources listed below. This is not a claim that every provider tool or an authenticated end-to-end action has been tested for every account.
