The Affinity MCP server saves you time by automating repetitive tasks, or creating entirely new Affinity tools and workflows, that can be saved and reused when you need them.

Key capabilities:

- Automate repetitive tasks like naming layers or batch image edits

- Build new tools and workflows with custom dialogs directly in Affinity

- Save your favourite workflows as reusable scripts in Affinity's Scripting panel

Setup:

The Affinity MCP server runs locally on your device. It's only active when both Claude desktop and Affinity are running. You'll need to stay up to date with the latest version of the Affinity desktop app.

To enable the Affinity MCP server:

- Open Affinity by Canva

- Go to Settings, where you will find the MCP Server configuration options

The Affinity MCP server handles authentication through the Affinity by Canva desktop app, managed by Canva when you’re logged into the desktop app.
