Pick your app and the steps appear below.

Works with Claude, with some setup first

You need a Recraft MCP key (sign up on the maker’s site, may cost money) · Install Node.js on your computer first (one time) · Only the Claude desktop app (Windows or Mac), not the web or phone

  1. Install Node.js

    One time only; it works for every server that needs Node.js

    Open the Node.js download page ↗

  2. Sign up and create a Recraft MCP key

    Open the maker’s site, sign up and create an API key for the next step. It may cost money.

    How to get a key is in the maker’s README below

  3. Open the Claude desktop app’s settings file

    SettingsDeveloperEdit Config

  4. Paste these settings and save the file

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "recraft": {
          "command": "npx",

            "RUNAPI_API_KEY": "your-value"
          }
        }
      }
    }

    Paste the key only into the app’s field, never into a chat or to anyone

  5. Quit Claude and open it again

  6. Try it

    Use Recraft MCP and tell me what you can do for me, then show me one thing

    ✓ If Claude says it is using Recraft MCP or shows a Recraft MCP tool in the answer, you are connected

Common questions

Is Recraft MCP safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: RUNAPI_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 20 days ago, and the latest version (0.2.1) reached the registry 20 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

RunAPI Recraft MCP Server

Recraft API access for AI agents: run image generation operations, poll asynchronous results, and check pricing through one focused MCP server.

Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Roo Code, and any MCP-compatible host.

Install | Tools | Models | Agent Prompts | Configuration | Links


Why This Package?

@runapi.ai/recraft-mcp is a focused Model Context Protocol server for the Recraft model line on RunAPI. It gives MCP-compatible assistants direct access to 2 endpoints and 2 model variants without loading the full RunAPI catalog.

Use this per-model server when an agent should stay scoped to Recraft. Use @runapi.ai/mcp when one assistant should discover every RunAPI model line.


Install

Add it to Claude Code:

claude mcp add recraft -s user -- npx -y @runapi.ai/recraft-mcp

Use project scope when the server should be shared with a repository:

claude mcp add recraft -s project -- npx -y @runapi.ai/recraft-mcp

Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Roo Code, and other MCP hosts can use the same stdio command:

{

"mcpServers": { "recraft": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@runapi.ai/recraft-mcp"] } } }

check_pricing works before sign-in. For task creation and status polling, ask your assistant to call the login tool. It opens a browser login and saves credentials to ~/.config/runapi/config.json, the same file used by runapi login. Headless and CI hosts can still set RUNAPI_API_KEY before starting the MCP host.

Ready-made examples are in examples/ for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and Roo Code.


Tools

ToolAuthPurpose
remove_backgroundYesCreate a Recraft remove background task and optionally wait for a terminal status. Returns the task id, status, and output URLs.
upscale_imageYesCreate a Recraft upscale image task and optionally wait for a terminal status. Returns the task id, status, and output URLs.
get_taskYesFetch the current status and latest payload for an existing task.
check_pricingNoLook up current pricing for a Recraft model and endpoint.

Models

Recraft covers 2 model variants across 2 endpoints. Each tool accepts the models listed for it:

ToolModels
remove_backgroundrecraft-remove-background
upscale_imagerecraft-crisp-upscale

Model availability can change between releases. Use check_pricing or the Recraft model page for the current catalog view.


Agent Prompts

Ask your assistant in natural language; it can inspect pricing, create the task, and return the task id plus output URLs.

Create a task
Run a Recraft remove background task with RunAPI.

The assistant can call check_pricing, then remove_background, and return the task id, status, and output URLs.

Submit without waiting
Create the task but don't wait for it to finish.

The assistant calls the create tool with wait: false and returns the task id. Check on it later with get_task.

Check pricing before creating
Check current Recraft pricing, then create the task if it matches my request.

The assistant calls check_pricing and can link to the Recraft model page for the canonical catalog entry.


Configuration

The server resolves auth in this order:

  1. RUNAPI_API_KEY environment variable, useful for headless and CI hosts
  2. ~/.config/runapi/config.json, created by the MCP login tool or runapi login
  3. No key, which still allows check_pricing

The config file is normally managed by login. A pre-provisioned headless config can use:

{

"apiKey": "your_runapi_key" }

Do not commit real API keys.
