Real-time collaborative whiteboard — AI agents and humans edit the same board live over MCP. Connect the official cnvs.app MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor through gate — one gateway URL, no config files, security-checked.
Free to start · No credit card · No hosting needed
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “open_board”: ALWAYS call this first when given a board URL or ID. Resolves the canonical board id and auto-creates the board row if it does not exist yet.”
“Use “create_board”: Create a fresh board in ONE call — optionally pre-filled with content, auto-laid-out, and/or PIN-locked at create time. Mirrors the extended.”
“Use “get_board”: Full structured JSON state of a board: texts (id, x, y, content, color, width, postit, author), strokes (id, points, color, author), images.”
“Use “get_preview”: Compact schematic SVG render of the board (typically a few kB even for dense boards). Returns both an image/svg+xml content block (you can S.”
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how cnvs.app holds up.
Operated by cnvs.app (cnvs.app) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
If cnvs.app adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Choose cnvs.app in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
cnvs.app's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

https://cnvs.app/mcpYes — cnvs.app operates its own remote MCP server at cnvs.app. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick cnvs.app in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, cnvs.app's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
No. cnvs.app runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect cnvs.app in minutes. No credit card required.
Every server below works through the same gateway URL — connect once, add tools anytime.
