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.

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-11-13 · rubric v0.28.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/cnvs-app/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/cnvs-app to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.
