Anthropic’s Claude AI can now design and edit your Canva projects, but there’s a catch

Anthropic has just made its AI chatbot Claude even more useful, especially if you’re someone who regularly uses Canva. Starting today, Claude can help users design, edit and manage Canva projects. All they have to do is describe what they need. With this new integration, Claude can now carry out tasks like creating presentations, resizing images and filling out templates. The integration also allows users to search for keywords in Canva Docs, Presentations, and brand templates, and generate summaries using the Claude AI interface.

But here’s the catch. To use the new feature, you’ll need a paid subscription to both platforms. So, this convenience comes at a cost.

The partnership is powered by something called the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which Canva launched last month, reports The Verge. MCP is an open-source standard that lets AI models connect with other apps. It’s often referred to as the ‘USB-C port of AI’. Besides Canva and Anthropic, big names like Microsoft and Figma are also supporting this system to prepare for a future where AI tools are expected to work across different platforms.

“Instead of uploading or manually transferring ideas, users can now generate, summarise, review, and publish Canva designs, all within a Claude chat,” Canva Ecosystem head Anwar Haneef was quoted as saying in the report. “MCP makes this possible with a simple toggle in settings, marking a powerful shift toward user-friendly, AI-first workflows that combine creativity and productivity in one.”

Last month, Claude also announced a similar integration with Figma. Meanwhile, Anthropic is also launching a new integrations directory on the web and desktop, helping users discover all the connected apps they can access right from Claude.
