The Recraft AI MCP Server integrates with Recraft AI to enable advanced raster and vector image manipulation, offering these capabilities:
- Generate Images: Create raster/vector images from text prompts with customizable styles, sizes, and models
- Image-to-Image Generation: Transform existing images using text prompts with controllable strength
- Create Custom Styles: Develop unique visual styles from reference images
- Vectorize Images: Convert raster images to scalable SVG format
- Background Management: Remove or replace image backgrounds
- Upscale Images: Enhance resolution using crisp (for sharpness) or creative (for detail refinement) methods
- User Information: Access account details including remaining API credits
Enables cloning of repositories from GitHub to set up the MCP server from source.
This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server integrating MCP clients with Recraft's raster- and vector-image operations:
- raster and vector image generation
- raster and vector image editing
- creating custom styles and generating images in them
- vectorization of raster images
- background removal and replacement
- upscaling of raster images
By connecting this MCP server to your MCP client you will be able to generate high-quality raster and vector images using Recraft, combining different tools.

Setup
Prerequisites
- First of all, you will need a Recraft API key. To obtain it, register your account on Recraft; then go to your profile API page. Here you can buy API units (credits) and generate an API key.
- You will need to have an MCP client installed, for example Claude Desktop.
Claude Desktop Extensions
If you are using Claude Desktop you can set up this server using Claude Desktop Extensions.
- Download
mcp-recraft-server.dxt
from the latest release - Double-click the file to open it with Claude Desktop
- Click Install
- Fill out the form
- Enable the server
In the form you need to paste your Recraft API key obtained on your profile API page. You can also specify a local path for generated image storage or indicate that all results should be stored remotely.
In case of installation issues, check that you have the latest version of Claude Desktop.
Smithery
You can find this MCP server on Smithery. If this MCP is installed from Smithery, all generation results will be stored remotely. Use Desktop Extensions or Manual Setup to store generation results on your local device.
Manual Setup
You're going to need Node running on your machine so you can run npx
or node
commands in your terminal. If you don't have Node, you can install it from nodejs.org.
From NPM
Modify your claude_desktop_config.json
file to add the following:
From source
Clone this repository:
In the directory with cloned repository run:
Modify your claude_desktop_config.json
file to add the following:
You can specify these parameters:
RECRAFT_API_KEY
: mandatory parameter, your Recraft API key.IMAGE_STORAGE_DIRECTORY
: optional parameter, you can specify the directory in which all generated images will be stored. By default this directory is$HOME_DIR/.mcp-recraft-server
. IfRECRAFT_REMOTE_RESULTS_STORAGE="1"
, the value of this parameter is ignored.RECRAFT_REMOTE_RESULTS_STORAGE
: optional parameter, you can set the value to"1"
, in this case all generated images will be stored remotely and their URLs will be returned. Also,IMAGE_STORAGE_DIRECTORY
will be ignored in this case.
