MCP
The only programmatic way to reach Canu.
Canu has no REST API. The agent is reachable in exactly two places: the Canu workspace, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. The MCP server implements JSON-RPC 2.0 over Streamable HTTP with protocol version negotiation and bearer authentication, so you can use Canu from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.
