Create social media visuals with Canva MCP

The poster tried Canva MCP in Claude Code to produce app marketing visuals and found it a disaster.

What they did

The poster says they used Canva MCP inside Claude Code to make social media visuals for an app launch, after finding Claude strong at building the product itself. In the thread, they ask what people use for promotion instead; a commenter suggests pairing Claude with another design tool and using it for copy and image ratios, while the poster gives no detailed workflow beyond saying the Canva MCP attempt failed.

How it went

The reported result was simply that the Canva MCP attempt was "a disaster," with no metrics or concrete failure mode described. The thread mainly turned into advice on other workflows rather than a postmortem of what happened.
