Canvora — visuals for AI agents

Give your agent a design department. Turn any idea, URL, doc, or PDF into finished, on-brand visuals: 100+ formats (posts, carousels, decks, PDFs, ads, infographics, landing-page kits), generated natively in 150+ languages — including RTL and CJK. Brand kits keep every output in the client's colors, fonts, logo, and tone.

canvora generate --idea "5 tips for remote work" \

--format linkedin_carousel --slides linkedin_carousel=5 \ --brand $BRAND_ID --wait --json

→ 5 finished branded slides on CDN URLs

Your agent writes the brief. Canvora does the design. The outputs are stable CDN URLs ready to post, embed, or hand to a scheduler (works great upstream of Postiz or any posting tool: generate → schedule, end to end agentic).

This repo is the agent-facing toolkit for Canvora:

• Agent skills — skills/: 12 task-specific skills, one npx skills add installs all of them into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, OpenClaw and 60+ agents.

• Remote MCP server — for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. Nothing to install.
• `canvora` CLI — for shell-native agents, cron jobs, and CI. Zero dependencies.

The Canvora service itself is hosted; this repo contains client tooling, skills, and docs.

Option 1 — Skills + CLI (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, shell-native agents)

npx skills add canvora/canvora-mcp     # installs the skills (they set up the CLI on first use)

or just the CLI:

npm install -g @canvora/cli

export CANVORA_API_KEY=vd_... # create at canvora.ai → Integrations → API Keys (all plans, incl. Free)

one atomic command: generates, polls, exits with the output URLs

canvora generate \ --idea "5 tips for remote work" \ --format linkedin_carousel --slides linkedin_carousel=5 \ --wait --json

Commands

Every command takes --json for machine-readable stdout; progress and errors go to stderr, so piping stays clean. Exit codes: 0 success, 1 failure, 2 usage error.

--idea "concept"          short concept - Canvora develops it into content

--input "text" your full content text, used as the source material --url extract content from a webpage --file-url extract content from a PDF --format [, ...] output formats (see: canvora formats) --slides = slide count for carousel/deck formats (1-10, default 5); match it to the item count your idea promises --brand apply a brand kit --style modern | minimal | bold | elegant | playful | corporate | creative | dark --resolution 2K|4K 4K on paid plans --language visual text language ("es", "Spanish"); default: matches your input's language --exact use --input text verbatim, no rewording (quotes, taglines) --logo place the brand kit's logo on the visual (needs --brand) --cta end a carousel/deck on a call-to-action slide --no-text pure visual, no typography (backgrounds, hero imagery) --freeform ignore format-specific art direction, use dimensions only --landing-page with --url: read the page's sections and produce a matching landingPage-* visual kit (Starter plan or higher) --project group outputs into a project/campaign --workspace bill a team workspace pool instead of your personal credits --wait poll until done (--timeout 600, --poll 5 seconds) --json machine-readable output

Option 2 — MCP (Claude, ChatGPT, any MCP client)

One remote server, OAuth sign-in, 16 tools your agent discovers on connect:

Step-by-step: canvora.ai/help/integrations/mcp-setup

stdio-only clients: mcp/ is a small stdio server that forwards every call to the remote server with your API key (same 16 tools, nothing generated locally):

{

"mcpServers": { "canvora": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/canvora-mcp/mcp/server.js"], "env": { "CANVORA_API_KEY": "vd_..." } } } }

Run npm install in mcp/ first, or use the Dockerfile: docker build -t canvora-mcp . && docker run -i -e CANVORA_API_KEY=vd_... canvora-mcp.

Option 3 — Raw REST

curl -X POST https://api.canvora.ai/api/generations \

-H "X-API-Key: vd_YOUR_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "inputType": "text", "inputContent": "5 tips for remote work", "outputFormats": ["linkedin_carousel"], "carouselCounts": {"linkedin_carousel": 5} }'

What agents build with this

• Client content pipelines — brief in, branded multi-format campaign out, scheduled by your posting tool
• Multilingual campaigns — generate once, canvora localize into 10 markets; layout survives, text goes native (skill)
• Save-optimized carousels — hook-first structure and per-slide art direction encoded as a skill (skill)
• Docs → decks — point --file-url at a PDF report, get presentation slides
• Ad sets — ad_square,ad_landscape,ad_portrait from one product URL, all placements covered

Built to be called by software

• Predictable costs — flat credit pricing (10/visual, 15/slide); canvora credits before big jobs; failed generations auto-refund.
• Human in the loop — everything your agent creates also lands in your Canvora dashboard, ready for review, editing, and export before it goes anywhere.
• Scoped, revocable keys — hashed at rest, per-key usage tracking, one-click revoke.
• Outputs on a CDN — stable URLs your agent can post, embed, or hand to a scheduler.
• Works on every plan — API and MCP access included on Free (free credits, no card).
