Connect Canva to OpenAI Agents SDK

Attach KosmoKrator integration tools to OpenAI Agents SDK workflows through a local MCP gateway.

Start the KosmoKrator MCP gateway locally and point the OpenAI Agents SDK MCP tool at that process or wrapper. The gateway is local, scoped to this integration, and starts with --write=deny so OpenAI Agents can inspect read-capable tools without receiving write access by default.

Canva MCP Config for OpenAI Agents SDK

Use headless JSON commands for CI-style execution and MCP for agent tool discovery.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kosmokrator-canva": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "kosmo",
      "args": [
        "mcp:serve",
        "--integration=canva",
        "--write=deny"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run the Gateway Manually

kosmokrator mcp:serve --integration=canva --write=deny
