This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Canva account to Hermes. You can do this through either **Composio Connect CLI** or **Composio Connect MCP**. For personal use we recommend the CLI, but you won't go wrong with MCP either. ## Also integrate Canva with [ChatGPT Work](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/chatgpt/index.html) [Antigravity](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/antigravity/index.html) [OpenAI Agents SDK](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk/index.html) [Claude Agent SDK](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/claude-agents-sdk/index.html) [Claude Code](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/claude-code/index.html) [Claude Cowork](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/claude-cowork/index.html) [Codex](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/codex/index.html) [Kimi Code](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/kimi/index.html) [Grok Build](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/grok-build/index.html) [Cursor](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/cursor/index.html) [VS Code](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/vscode/index.html) [OpenCode](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/opencode/index.html) [OpenClaw](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/openclaw/index.html) [CLI](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/cli/index.html) [Google ADK](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/google-adk/index.html) [LangChain](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/langchain/index.html) [Vercel AI SDK](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/ai-sdk/index.html) [Mastra AI](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/mastra-ai/index.html) [LlamaIndex](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/llama-index/index.html) [CrewAI](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/crew-ai/index.html) [Pydantic AI](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/pydantic-ai/index.html) [AutoGen](/content/toolkits/canva/framework/autogen/index.html) ## What is Composio Connect? Composio Connect is a consumer offering that lets anyone plug 1,000+ applications directly into their agent harness — including Hermes. It can: - **Search and load tools from relevant toolkits on-demand**, reducing context usage. - **Chain multiple tools** to accomplish complex workflows via a remote workbench, without excessive back-and-forth with the LLM. - **Manage app authentication end-to-end** with zero manual overhead. ## Integrating Canva with Hermes ### Using Composio Connect CLI **1\. Install the Composio CLI** Run the install script directly, or paste `https://composio.dev/hermes` into your Hermes chat box to have it installed for you. ```bash curl -fsSL https://composio.dev/install | bash ``` **2\. Authenticate** Once the CLI is installed, ask Hermes to authenticate with Composio. **3\. Connect to Canva** Ask your agent to connect to Canva, or simply request any Canva-related task. Hermes will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access. **4\. Done.** You're all set with a new Canva connection. * * * ### Using Composio Connect MCP **1\. Get your MCP URL and API Key** Go to [dashboard.composio.dev](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=hermes&utm_content=api_key&next=%2F~%2Forg%2Fconnect%2Fclients%2Fhermes) and copy your Connect MCP URL and API key. **2\. Open the Hermes config file** ```bash nano ~/.hermes/config.yaml ``` **3\. Add the Composio Connect MCP server** ```bash mcp_servers: composio: url: "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp" headers: x-consumer-api-key: "YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY" connect_timeout: 60 timeout: 180 ``` Save with `Ctrl + O`, `Enter`, then exit with `Ctrl + X`. **4\. Restart your Hermes agent** Once restarted, ask your agent to connect to Canva or request any Canva-related task. It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access. **5\. Done!** ## What is the Canva MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Canva MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Canva account. It provides structured and secure access to your Canva designs, templates, folders, assets, and user details, so your agent can create designs, organize projects, manage assets, and collaborate on feedback for you. - **Automated design creation and asset integration:** Direct your agent to generate new Canva designs using templates or custom dimensions, and add assets from your projects automatically. - **Seamless folder and project organization:** Have the agent create user or subfolders to keep your Canva projects structured and easily accessible. - **Asset management and cleanup:** Let your agent fetch upload statuses, manage, or delete assets by ID, helping you keep your design library up to date. - **Collaborative design feedback:** Empower your agent to add comments or reply within designs, making it easy to facilitate feedback and teamwork directly in Canva. - **User and team information retrieval:** Quickly obtain user or team details, allowing your agent to personalize interactions and automate workflows based on your Canva account info. ## Way Forward With Canva connected, Hermes can now act on your behalf whenever it detects a relevant task or you ask it to. From here, you can extend Hermes further: - **Connect more apps:** Calendar, Slack, Notion, Linear, and hundreds of others are available through the same Composio Connect setup. Each new integration compounds what Hermes can do for you. - **Build workflows across tools:** Once multiple apps are connected, Hermes can chain actions together — turn an email into a calendar invite, a Slack message into a Linear ticket, or a meeting note into a follow-up draft. - **Let it learn your patterns:** The more you use Hermes, the better it gets at anticipating how you'd handle recurring tasks. Give it feedback on drafts and decisions, and it will adapt.

However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Canva and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Hermes?+ Yes, you can. Hermes fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Canva tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Canva while using Tool Router?+ Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Canva scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?+ All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Canva data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. ## Start with Canva. It takes 30 seconds.
