This is an MCP ([Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/)) server integrating MCP clients with [Recraft](https://recraft.ai/)'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. # Table of Contents - [Table of Contents](#table-of-contents) - [Setup](#setup) - [Prerequisites](#prerequisites) - [Claude Desktop Extensions](#claude-desktop-extensions) - [Smithery](#smithery) - [Manual Setup](#manual-setup) - [From NPM](#from-npm) - [From source](#from-source) - [Tools](#tools) # Setup ## Prerequisites - First of all, you will need a [Recraft API](https://www.recraft.ai/docs) key. To obtain it, register your account on [Recraft](https://www.recraft.ai); then go to your [profile API page](https://www.recraft.ai/profile/api). 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](https://claude.ai/download). ## Claude Desktop Extensions If you are using [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/download) you can set up this server using [Claude Desktop Extensions](https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/desktop-extensions). - Download `mcp-recraft-server.dxt` from the [latest release](https://github.com/recraft-ai/mcp-recraft-server/releases/latest/download/mcp-recraft-server.dxt) - 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](https://www.recraft.ai/profile/api). 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](https://claude.ai/download). ## Smithery You can find this MCP server on [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@recraft-ai/mcp-recraft-server). 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](https://nodejs.org/en/download). ### From NPM Modify your `claude_desktop_config.json` file to add the following: ```json { "mcpServers": { "recraft": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@recraft-ai/mcp-recraft-server@latest" ], "env": { "RECRAFT_API_KEY": "", "IMAGE_STORAGE_DIRECTORY": "", "RECRAFT_REMOTE_RESULTS_STORAGE": "" } } } } ``` ### From source Clone this repository: ```bash git clone https://github.com/recraft-ai/mcp-recraft-server.git ``` In the directory with cloned repository run: ```bash npm install npm run build ``` Modify your `claude_desktop_config.json` file to add the following: ```json { "mcpServers": { "recraft": { "command": "node", "args": ["/dist/index.js"], "env": { "RECRAFT_API_KEY": "", "IMAGE_STORAGE_DIRECTORY": "", "RECRAFT_REMOTE_RESULTS_STORAGE": "" } } } } ``` You can specify these parameters: - `RECRAFT_API_KEY`: mandatory parameter, your [Recraft API](https://www.recraft.ai/profile/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`. If `RECRAFT_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. # Tools In this MCP you can use the following tools: | Tool Name | Description | Parameters | Price | |-----------|-------------|------------|-------| | `generate_image` | Generates raster/vector images from prompt | - prompt
