Recraft AI MCP Server

This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server integrating MCP Clients with Recraft AI’s raster and vector image operations:

• raster and vector images generation
• raster and vector images 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.

Tools

In this MCP you can use the following tools:

You can find the detailed explanation of tools, their parameters, and prices in Recraft AI API docs.

Setup

Prerequisites

• First of all, you will need a Recraft AI API key. To obtain it, register your account on Recraft AI, go to your profile API page. Here you can buy API units (credits), and generate an API key.

• You’re going to need Node working 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.

• You will need to have some MCP client installed, for example Claude Desktop.

Manual setup

Modify your claude_desktop_config.json file to add the following:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "recraft": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@recraft-ai/mcp-recraft-server@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "RECRAFT_API_KEY": "<YOUR_RECRAFT_API_KEY>",
        "IMAGE_STORAGE_DIRECTORY": "<YOUR_IMAGE_STORAGE_DIRECTORY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Manual setup (from source)

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/recraft-ai/mcp-recraft-server.git

In the directory with cloned repository run:

npm install
npm run build

Modify your claude_desktop_config.json file to add the following:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "recraft": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["<ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_CLONED_DIRECTORY>/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "RECRAFT_API_KEY": "<YOUR_RECRAFT_API_KEY>",
        "IMAGE_STORAGE_DIRECTORY": "<YOUR_IMAGE_STORAGE_DIRECTORY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

You can specify these parameters:

• RECRAFT_API_KEY: mandatory parameter, your Recraft AI 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.
