cnvs.app
cnvs.app is a free, no-signup, real-time collaborative whiteboard in the browser, operated by Coder AI (coderai.dev). Users open a canvas, share the link and draw and write together with WebSocket sync; any board can switch to a kanban todo mode, render Mermaid diagrams from text, and install as a PWA with offline access to cached boards. It exposes a public Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint at https://cnvs.app/mcp and a REST API so AI assistants such as Claude can read and edit the same live board as humans.
cnvs.app publishes 6 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including AI Facing API, Boards API, Discovery API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Company, Whiteboard, Collaboration, Real-Time, and Kanban.
The cnvs.app catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
cnvs.app’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, pricing, support, and 40 more developer resources.
