Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Turn Canva designs into templates and render image/PDF variants via the Layerre API.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Design, images & audio
  • You need to fill in: LAYERRE_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 13 things (tools) layerre_auth_status, layerre_list_templates, layerre_get_template, layerre_list_template_tags …
  • You fill in yourself: LAYERRE_API_KEY

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet
  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • LAYERRE_API_KEY secret required env
    Layerre API key (lyr_...)

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 9, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • layerre_auth_status

    Check authentication status and get current user information

  • layerre_list_templates

    List all templates for the authenticated user. Returns template summaries with optional layer details. Use the tag parameter to filter by folder/tag.

  • layerre_get_template

    Get detailed information about a specific template including all its layers. Signed URLs are automatically refreshed if expired.

  • layerre_list_template_tags

    List all unique tags used across the authenticated user's templates, with counts. Useful for discovering available folders/tags before filtering with layerre_list_templates.

  • layerre_create_template

    Create a new template from a Canva share URL. This will extract layers, dimensions, and other metadata from the Canva design. Note: This is an expensive operation that may take 10-30 seconds.

  • layerre_update_template

    Update template properties like name, dimensions, background color, or tags. Tags use replace semantics — pass the full desired tag list. Changing dimensions or background will regenerate the preview in the background.

  • layerre_create_layer

    Create a new layer (text or image) for a template. Layer type is inferred from properties if not specified.

  • layerre_get_layer

    Get detailed information about a specific layer. Signed URLs are automatically refreshed if expired.

  • layerre_update_layer

    Update layer properties like position, text content, image URL, styling, etc. Triggers background preview regeneration.

  • layerre_list_variants

    List all variants for a specific template. Signed URLs are automatically refreshed if expired.

  • layerre_get_variant

    Get detailed information about a specific variant. Signed URLs are automatically refreshed if expired.

  • layerre_create_variant

    Generate a variant (rendered image) from a template with optional layer overrides. This is an expensive operation that renders the final output.

  • layerre_create_variants_bulk

    Generate many variants (rendered images) from one template in a single request, e.g. one per row of data. All items share one export format. Expensive: use sparingly and keep batches small. combine_pdf merges PDF items into one multi-page PDF (Plus plan or above).

Common questions

Is Layerre safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: LAYERRE_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry today.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Layerre MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server for Layerre. Let your AI assistant turn Canva designs into reusable templates, edit layers, and render PNG / JPEG / WebP / PDF images from data.

Docs: [layerre.com/docs/mcp](https://layerre.com/docs/mcp/)

Features

  • Import a Canva share link as an editable template
  • Read and update template layers (text, images, positions, styling)

  • Remote server with browser OAuth sign-in, or API key / local stdio

Quick start

Remote server (recommended)

Cursor — ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{ "mcpServers": { "layerre": { "url": "https://mcp.layerre.com/mcp" } } }

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http layerre https://mcp.layerre.com/mcp

VS Code — .vscode/mcp.json

{ "servers": { "layerre": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.layerre.com/mcp" } } }

Claude Desktop / Claude.ai — Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → https://mcp.layerre.com/mcp

Windsurf — ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "layerre": { "serverUrl": "https://mcp.layerre.com/mcp" } } }

Your client opens a browser window to sign in to Layerre and approve access.

API key (headless / CI)

Create a key in the Layerre dashboard (Settings → API keys), then:

{

"mcpServers": { "layerre": { "url": "https://mcp.layerre.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer lyr_xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxx" } } } }

Local (stdio)
{

"mcpServers": { "layerre": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@layerre/mcp-server"], "env": { "LAYERRE_API_KEY": "lyr_xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxx" } } } }
