Make app promo graphics in Canva through Claude Code

They used Claude Code with Canva MCP to draft launch graphics for an app, but the attempt did not go well.

What they did
The developer had already liked Claude Code for building the app itself, so they tried extending it to promotion work. They connected Canva MCP inside Claude Code and asked it to make social posts for the launch, then asked others what they use for marketing instead. One reply suggested using Claude alongside another design tool, with Claude handling copy and size guidance.
How it went
They said the Canva MCP attempt was a disaster. No detailed breakdown was given, so the thread shifted toward alternative ways to make promo assets rather than a step-by-step fix.
Tips
If you try this, start with one draft and check whether the tool can handle your brand style and image dimensions. Have the agent stop and ask before it sends, publishes, or finalizes anything.

Try it yourself with Claude Code

Using the Canva MCP connection in [Claude Code or another agent], create [number] social media visuals for [app name] for [platform or size]. Use these brand colors: [colors], and this tone: [tone]. Make one draft first and wait for my approval before generating the rest. If anything is unclear or the tool runs into a limit, stop and tell me what it could not complete before you continue.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
