leo-recraft-mcp

Recraft as a Leo package, over MCP — image generation, vectorizing and background removal, from Recraft.

This replaces the compiled leo-recraft package, and is the first extracted package that is both a tool provider and a subsystem provider:

• It fills Leo's image_gen provider role, which is what the gallery calls when something asks Leo for an image. The gallery does the database write (leo-gallery/src/api.rs); this server only produces bytes.

• It keeps the three tools the compiled package exposed, for an agent driving Recraft directly.

Tools

generate and recraft_generate are separate on purpose rather than one tool wearing two hats. The role has a fixed contract Leo depends on — prompt in, base64 out — while the tool carries Recraft's models, styles and palettes, which are far wider than the role and change with the vendor.

Configuration

One setting, recraft_api_key. Leo hands it to this process under that key verbatim and lower-case, so the descriptor's settings_read and process.env.recraft_api_key have to agree or the credential silently never arrives.

Development

npm install
node test.js        # no network needed

The test covers what fails quietly — the API's own errors are loud:

• The palette. parseInt("zz", 16) is NaN, which serializes to null and either fails the request or renders a different palette than the one asked for. One typo among good colours renders in the good ones; a palette where nothing parsed sends no controls at all, rather than an empty array the API reads as "use no colours".

• Absent vs empty. Recraft's v4 models reject a style outright, so omitting the key and sending "" are different requests.

• The two response shapes. generations answers {data:[{url}]}; vectorize and removeBackground answer {image:{url}}. Read one with the other's shape and you get nothing, silently — and a data that is present but not an array survives ?? [] and then throws on .map, turning a bad response into a crashed tool. (That one was a real bug, caught by this test.)
