Introducing MCP
Causal

1 min read

MCP is now available in Causal, connecting your canvases directly to your AI agent. It works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code.

Instead of pasting context into a prompt or summarising a project by hand, your agent simply reads the canvas. The workspace you are already building becomes the reference material, removing the friction of manual export.

Every element on the board is legible. The agent reads text cards, embedded documents, images and colour values, as well as the connections between them and any other board in your account.

Spatial arrangement is context. Proximity, deliberate placement, visual groupings and directional arrows convey relationships that standard documents flatten out. Causal preserves this structure, giving your agent a genuine understanding of how your ideas relate to one another.

MCP is available today in Causal. Point your agent at an existing board and start working.
