The Sydney-based design giant launches Deep Research Connector and MCP server to bed in AI workflows in AI workflows
Canva has announced a partnership with OpenAI and has become the first design platform to directly integrate its creative suite into Chatgpt and other AI assistants. The Australian company unveiled two major launches on Thursday: a deep research connector with chatgpt and the Canva model context protocol (MCP) server.
The integration is an important shift to AI-Native design workflows, so that users can make content, analyze and publish without leaving their AI assistant. The move is because the existing chatgpt integration of Canva has seen explosive growth, whereby the use of 375% rises on an annual basis to become one of the best productivity applications in Chatgpt.
Seamless design integration
The Deep Research Connector enables ChatGPT to access the existing Canva designs, documents and presentations of users directly within conversations. Users can now encourage chatgpt to analyze marketing campaigns, refine presentations or refer to work from the past without switching between platforms.
“AI agents and assistants have become indispensable creative partners, but the current workflows require users to manually add context or references, create complexity,” said Anwar Haneef, GM and head of the Ecosystem at Canva. “We close Canva directly into the AI tools that people use every day, so that they can brainstorm, make content and publish faster. This is an important step in our vision to make the complex easy and to build an all-in-one AI workflow that is safe and accessible to everyone.”
The integration is protected by Canva Shield, the extensive AI Trust and Safety Framework of the company, whereby privacy and security are guaranteed for all interactions.
AI -Expanding possibilities
With the new Canva MCP server, every AI assistant can use the entire Canva workspace of users, including design history, creative tools and templates. The system can generate design while maintaining brand consistency and recording real -time context from current conversations.
Via the MCP server, AI assistants can generate different design types, from social messages to presentations, autofilles with drawn up data, the size of brands of templates and exports and files directly from links without manual uploads.
“Launching the Canva Deep Research Connector means that companies and their employees gain better insights because Chatgpt has more context. We are pleased to work together to bring powerful AI for many of the most important workflows of today,” said Nate Gonzalez, head of business products at OpenAI.
Targeting of professional users
The integration is specifically aimed at important professional use cases. Marketers can summarize campaign report reports and reference widders, while business owners can analyze reports and explore growth plans. Sales teams can analyze and prepare proposals feedback from customers, and educators can develop lesson plans with the help of previous curriculum materials.
Canva serves 240 million users worldwide, including 95% of the Fortune 500 companies. The platform used 18 billion AI tools, because organizations are increasingly taking AI-driven creative workflows.
Future expansion
While the Deep Research Connector is exclusively launched with ChatGPT, the MCP server offers integrations with one click for multiple platforms. Canva confirmed that the Agent Force integration of Salesforce is coming soon, with extra AI platforms that are expected to follow.
The launches build on the recent AI innovations of Canva, including Canva AI, Canva Code and AI-driven content creation in Canva plates. The company’s multimodel AI strategy includes its own models, partner integrations and a robust ecosystem for apps, which positions it to adopt emerging frameworks such as MCP.
Integration is an important development in the convergence of design tools and AI assistants, which may set a new standard for how creative platforms integrate with conversation -ai technologies.
