Layovelle for Agents

Documentation

Layovelle for Agents lets the agent you already use make real, editable Layovelle designs — decks, one-pagers, social posts, diagrams, websites, video — and hand you back a canvas link plus the exported file. Not a screenshot, not a flat image: every layer stays live and editable at layovelle.com. Setting up? Hand your agent Agent setup and it does the rest — it installs the CLI, signs you in, installs the skills, and verifies the result. That page is the one authoritative procedure; everything below is orientation and reference.

Set up Layovelle by following the guide at https://layovelle.com/install.md

There are two ways in, and the procedure picks for you on one question — can your agent run shell commands with internet access?

Yes → the moda CLI. The better experience: cheaper in context, faster, versioned, and it can read the files on your machine.
No → the Layovelle connector. Same account, same designs, nothing to install.

A sandboxed code interpreter — ChatGPT’s, for instance — has a shell but usually cannot reach the network, so the install fails. Those take the connector. Both talk to the same Layovelle service, so entitlements, credits, brand kits, and canvases are identical either way. There is no transport tax.

Pick your setup

All of these are handled for you by Agent setup; this table is for recognising yourself and knowing what you will end up with.

Where your agent runs	Use	Why
Claude Code	CLI	Shell present — three commands and it is wired
Cursor, Codex, and other local agents	CLI	Same three commands; no per-editor config
Cowork	CLI	It can run commands, so it gets the full surface — no shell in your session, use the connector
Hermes, OpenCode, OpenClaw	CLI	All three run shell commands — OpenClaw’s `exec` tool is off by default, and the guide routes it to the connector if so
claude.ai and Claude Desktop	Connector	No terminal — add Layovelle from the Claude connector directory
Windows	CLI	npm install works; the Windows build is beta, WSL2 is the fallback
Your own code, CI, cron	REST API	Direct HTTP, API-key auth
ChatGPT	Connector	Custom connectors need ChatGPT’s developer mode turned on

What your agent can make

Surface	What you get
Canvas	Real editable designs on your account — every layer live, never a flat image
Decks and documents	Native editable PPTX and text-layer PDF from a brief, a doc, or a repo
Video and motion	Generated clips, logo animation, and animation-canvas renders to MP4 or GIF
Export and publish	PNG, JPEG, PDF, PPTX, MP4, GIF — or publish a live site on `*.layovelle.com`

How the pieces fit

Connect

Install the CLI or add the connector. One sign-in either way.

Teach

Install the Layovelle skills so your agent knows Layovelle’s design workflow instead of guessing at it.

Ask

Describe the artifact you want. Stuck mid-task, your agent can call ask_expert — free, grounded answers about how to do something in Layovelle.

Ship

You get a canvas URL you can keep editing, plus the exported file.

Going further

CLI quickstart — install, sign in, first canvas.
MCP connector — the claude.ai and Claude Desktop setup.
Skills — how your agent learns Layovelle’s workflow.
ask_expert — the built-in advice lane.
API reference — the HTTPS surface both the CLI and the connector are built on. Use it directly when you are writing the integration yourself.

Looking for the older mcp.moda.app MCP server (start_design_task, get_moda_canvas)? Those docs are still published under MCP Server (Legacy). New integrations belong here.
