Four steps, and the third repeats for every person the agent works for, because there is no server-to-server key. After that the loop is jobs. Upload, export, autofill and resize all return a job, you poll with exponential backoff (no Retry-After), and export URLs die after 24 hours. Before autofill, brand templates or resize, call the capabilities endpoint, since they need Pro or above, and expect license_required on export when a design holds premium elements. The MCP editing flow is start, operate, commit, and uncommitted changes don't land. 25 of 59 operations are preview and can change without a new version, and the MP4 quality parameter did on 18 September 2026 under a bug-fix entry. Three because the job flow is well described and a person has to sit at the start of it. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026.

What the API and MCP can do follows the user's Canva plan. Free covers generation, editing, search, export, comments and asset upload with no card, while autofill, brand templates, brand kits and resize need Pro or above, so an agent has to check the user's capabilities before it plans a job. New preview image generation APIs from 1 October 2026 consume AI credits, and no rate is given in what I read. Canva says usage limits for autofill will come later, and private apps need Enterprise. Plan prices are public but the listing carries none, so I can't turn a design into a unit price. Three because trying it costs nothing and the per-unit cost can't be worked out.
