image
  1. Add the following content to the settings file (Python version):

    • python version

      "nova-canvas": {
        "command": "uvx",
        "args": [
          "aws-nova-canvas-mcp"
        ],
        "env": {
          "AWS_PROFILE": "YOUR_AWS_PROFILE"
        }
      }
      

      ✅ Only AWS_PROFILE is required. Other variables like AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION, and PORT are optional and not necessary if your AWS profile is set correctly.

      ​ ⚙️ If the setup is completed successfully, you can see that the "nova-canvas" item has been added in Claude > Settings > Developer tab. ⚠️ Important: MCP settings only work on the Claude desktop app, not the Claude web browser version
