Canva MCP integration
Creates and imports designs, uploads assets to the content library, exports finished work in the right format, and comments on drafts under review.
46actions available
Three actions you can hand over today
Every action runs live through MCP. Nothing to build, nothing to maintain.
Start design export job
Lyro launches a background export of a Canva design in the customer's chosen format. Support customers receive their files faster without waiting for manual export steps.
Post designs designid comments
Lyro posts feedback comments directly on Canva designs without leaving the support chat. Designers stay in context and respond faster when Lyro's comments appear on their work.
List user designs
Lyro lists all designs a customer has created and shared to locate specific work quickly. Agents find the right design instantly instead of asking customers to search their own folders.
How businesses use Canva + Lyro
Each card is one request a support team gets, and the Canva actions Lyro runs to close it.
Get files into Canva as assets or designs
Lyro uploads a file into the content library or imports a PDF or Word document as a new Canva design, then polls the job until it finishes, so nothing stalls waiting on a manual upload.
Create Asset Upload JobCreate Design Import JobFetch Asset Upload Job StatusExport a finished design in the right format
Lyro checks which export formats a design supports, starts the export job, and returns the result once it completes, so the person who asked gets an actual file rather than an editor link.
Get Design Export FormatsStart Design Export JobGet Design Export Job ResultLeave feedback on the draft under review
Lyro opens a comment thread on the design, replies inside an existing thread, and reads the replies already there, so review notes stay attached to the artwork they are about.
Create Design CommentCreate Reply to Comment ThreadGet Design Comment Thread RepliesKeep the design library findable
Lyro creates the folder a project's work belongs in, lists what is already inside it, and moves an item into the right place, so the library stays navigable as the volume of designs grows.

How it works
Get started in 3 steps
Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the Canva actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.
Connect Canva
Authorize the Canva account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.
Tell your agent what you need
Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the Canva actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.
Watch it work
The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.

FAQ
Everything else about Canva
Setup, permissions, and the limits of what Lyro can do inside Canva.
The toolkit is explicit about a few. Listing brand templates and reading Enterprise brand template metadata are Canva Enterprise only, design autofill is available to Canva Enterprise members, and Create Design Resize Job requires Canva Pro or Enterprise. The design, asset, folder, comment, and export actions do not carry that restriction.
