**Summary:** Let your AI customer agent draft and edit Canva designs through Unless, with anything that publishes gated by explicit permissions and a full audit trail.

**In short:** Connect the Canva MCP server so your Unless AI agent can put a design together without leaving the conversation.

## Context
Canva is a design platform built for drag-and-drop layouts, templates, and brand kits, and its MCP server lets AI create and edit designs directly. Connect it and the Canva MCP server plugs into Living Context.

Your agent can put together or adjust a Canva design as part of a conversation - resizing an asset, swapping in a template, applying your brand kit. Drafting happens on its own; anything that would publish or overwrite a live design waits for a person to approve it first.

### Key benefits
- __Designs drafted inside the conversation:__ Your agent puts a Canva design together - template, brand kit, resize - without anyone leaving the chat.
- __Publishing stays a human call:__ Anything that would overwrite or publish a live design needs your sign-off, and the change is logged either way.

### How does it work?
Unless connects to the Canva MCP server through Living Context. Your agent drafts and adjusts designs freely; the moment an action would publish or overwrite something live, it stops and asks.
