We’ve added new Canva MCP tools for creating designs and transforming images in creative-agent workflows.

Create designs with `create-design`, generate visuals with `generate-image`, and refine image assets with `remove-background` and `separate-image-layers`.

New tools include:

- `create-design` and `get-create-design-async-job` — generate a new editable design using Canva’s upgraded models. These replace the previous `generate-design` tool.
- `generate-image` and `get-generate-image-job` — generate a flat image for a creative workflow.
- `remove-background` — remove an image background.
- `separate-image-layers` and `get-separate-image-layers-job` — separate an image into editable layers.

These additions make it easier to move from a creative brief to generated assets and Canva designs programmatically. We’ll be updating our docs with more examples of these tools over the coming days and weeks.

We’re also improving onboarding over the next couple of weeks to make it easier to create and manage MCP clients.

We’d love your feedback on these new tools and other tools you’d like to see from Canva MCP. Drop your thoughts in a comment 💬
