Recraft AI MCP Server

Official

replace_background

Replace the background of an input image with a new scene described by a text prompt, using customizable visual styles.

Instructions

Generate an image using Recraft from an input image with its detected background replaced based on the prompt. You can specify the input image, style, model, and number of images to generate. You should provide the same style/substyle/styleID settings as were used for input image generation (if exists) if there are no specific requirements to change the style. Other parameters are recommended to keep default if you don't have any specific requirements on them. You can use styles to refine the image background generation, and also to generate raster or vector images. Local paths or URLs to generated images and their previews will be returned in the response.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
imageURIYesImage to use as an input. This can be a URL (starting with http:// or https://) or an absolute file path (starting with file://).
promptYesText prompt of the background areas that will be changed. Its length should be from 1 to 1024 characters.
styleNoVisual style to apply. Default is realistic_image. Use this parameter only if you want to refine the image generation. Mutually exclusive with styleID, you can't specify both of them. realistic_image, digital_illustration, vector_illustration are available in both models, but icon is available only for recraftv2, and logo_raster is available only for recraftv3. If you will provide a style that is not available for the specified model, generation will fail. Styles use-cases: - realistic_image: for realistic images, photos, portraits, landscapes, etc. Raster is generated. - digital_illustration: for digital illustrations, concept art, fantasy art, etc. Raster is generated. - vector_illustration: for vector illustrations, logos, icons, etc. Vector is generated. - icon: for icons, small graphics (only in recraftv2). Vector is generated - logo_raster: for graphic design, raster logos, posters, emblems, and badges (only in recraftv3). Raster is generated. You should provide the same style/substyle/styleID settings as were used for input image generation (if they exist) if there are no specific requirements to change the style in the resulting image.
substyleNoVisual substyle to apply. Can be specified only with style to refine more specifically. If this parameter is not specified, model will decide on the final style. Use this parameter only if you want to refine the image generation more. No need to specify if you don't have any specific requirements. Note that each combination of model and style has their own list of available substyles: - recraftv3 with style realistic_image: b_and_w, enterprise, evening_light, faded_nostalgia, forest_life, hard_flash, hdr, motion_blur, mystic_naturalism, natural_light, natural_tones, organic_calm, real_life_glow, retro_realism, retro_snapshot, studio_portrait, urban_drama, village_realism, warm_folk - recraftv2 with style realistic_image: b_and_w, enterprise, hard_flash, hdr, motion_blur, natural_light, studio_portrait - recraftv3 with style digital_illustration: 2d_art_poster, 2d_art_poster_2, antiquarian, bold_fantasy, child_book, cover, crosshatch, digital_engraving, engraving_color, expressionism, freehand_details, grain, grain_20, graphic_intensity, hand_drawn, hand_drawn_outline, handmade_3d, hard_comics, infantile_sketch, long_shadow, modern_folk, multicolor, neon_calm, noir, nostalgic_pastel, outline_details, pastel_gradient, pastel_sketch, pixel_art, plastic, pop_art, pop_renaissance, seamless, street_art, tablet_sketch, urban_glow, urban_sketching, young_adult_book, young_adult_book_2 - recraftv2 with style digital_illustration: 2d_art_poster, 2d_art_poster_2, 3d, 80s, engraving_color, glow, grain, hand_drawn, hand_drawn_outline, handmade_3d, infantile_sketch, kawaii, pixel_art, plastic, psychedelic, seamless, voxel, watercolor - recraftv3 with style vector_illustration: bold_stroke, chemistry, colored_stencil, cosmics, cutout, depressive, editorial, emotional_flat, engraving, line_art, line_circuit, linocut, marker_outline, mosaic, naivector, roundish_flat, seamless, segmented_colors, sharp_contrast, thin, vector_photo, vivid_shapes - recraftv2 with style vector_illustration: cartoon, doodle_line_art, engraving, flat_2, kawaii, line_art, line_circuit, linocut, seamless - recraftv2 with style icon: broken_line, colored_outline, colored_shapes, colored_shapes_gradient, doodle_fill, doodle_offset_fill, offset_fill, outline, outline_gradient, pictogram - recraftv3 with style logo_raster: emblem_graffiti, emblem_pop_art, emblem_punk, emblem_stamp, emblem_vintage If you will provide a substyle that is not available for the specified model and style, generation will fail. You should provide the same style/substyle/styleID settings as were used for input image generation (if they exist) if there are no specific requirements to change the style in the resulting image.
styleIDNoID of the style to apply. Mutually exclusive with style, you can't specify both of them. This ID can be the style ID from recraft.ai or some previously created custom style. You should provide the same style/substyle/styleID settings as were used for input image generation (if they exist) if there are no specific requirements to change the style in the resulting image.
numberOfImagesNoNumber of images to generate. Should be from 1 to 6. Default is 1.
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided; description carries full burden. Details input processing, style constraints, failure scenarios, and return format. No mention of side effects or auth, but acceptable for a generation tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Well-structured with core action upfront followed by detailed guidance. Slightly long but each sentence adds value. Could be trimmed slightly.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 6 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, description comprehensively covers behavior, constraints, failure modes, and return values. Fully informs agent usage.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, but description adds valuable context: reusing style settings, mutual exclusivity of style and styleID, and recommendations to keep defaults. Adds meaning beyond schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Generate an image using Recraft from an input image with its detected background replaced based on the prompt.' This distinguishes it from siblings like remove_background and generate_image.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides explicit guidance on reusing style settings from input image and recommends keeping defaults. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use or comparison to alternatives, but context is clear.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
