Reported experience

  1. What they did

    The poster says they used Canva MCP inside Claude Code to make social media visuals for an app launch, after finding Claude strong at building the product itself. In the thread, they ask what people use for promotion instead; a commenter suggests pairing Claude with another design tool and using it for copy and image ratios, while the poster gives no detailed workflow beyond saying the Canva MCP attempt failed.

  2. How it went

    The reported result was simply that the Canva MCP attempt was "a disaster," with no metrics or concrete failure mode described. The thread mainly turned into advice on other workflows rather than a postmortem of what happened.

Example prompts

Try with Claude Code
Using the Canva MCP connection, create [number] social media visuals for my app [app name] in [size or platform format], using these brand colors and tone: [colors, tone]. Make one first and show it to me before generating the rest. Keep notes on what the tool could not do well, and stop once I have the set or you hit a clear limit.
