Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent export my presentation as a PDF and give me the download link?
Yes! You can ask the AI to export any of your specific designs. The agent triggers an asynchronous export job in Canva (supporting PDF, MP4, JPEG, and more), monitors the progress, and ultimately provides you the native physical download URL right in the chat.
Am I able to upload midjourney or generated assets directly to Canva folders?
Absolutely. The agent can take image URLs from anywhere and upload them directly into your Canva asset pipeline securely. It creates the structural IDs automatically, so the new images are immediately available when you open Canva's design editor.
Can the agent create new design templates from scratch?
The agent can provision standard new designs using preset types (like Presentation, Poster, or InstagramPost) and retrieve your existing brand templates to keep everything aligned. However, actually placing visual elements on a canvas is restricted to the Canva editor UI via web.
How does the Vercel AI SDK connect to MCP servers?
Import createMCPClient from @ai-sdk/mcp and pass the server URL. The SDK discovers all tools and provides typed TypeScript interfaces for each one.
Can I use MCP tools in Edge Functions?
Yes. The AI SDK is fully edge-compatible. MCP connections work on Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and similar runtimes.
Does it support streaming tool results?
Yes. The SDK provides streaming primitives like useChat and streamText that handle tool calls and display results progressively in the UI.
