Recraft

Recraft on xpay — Professional image generation without the signup friction

Recraft is a professional-grade AI image generation platform built for design and creative workflows. Unlike consumer-focused image generators, Recraft emphasizes design-quality output, style consistency, and control over creative direction—making it a natural fit for teams building design automation, marketing workflows, and creative tools. On xpay, you call Recraft's API through MCP without creating a Recraft account, paying only for what you use.

What's available

• recraft_v3 ($0.08/call) — Recraft's v3 model for professional design-quality image generation. Accepts prompts, style parameters, and format specifications to produce on-brand creative assets.

When Recraft is the right tool

• You need design-quality images with consistent style for branding or marketing campaigns.
• You're building a creative workflow tool (design systems, asset generation, mockup creation) and want professional output.
• You need fine-grained control over image style, composition, and format—not just raw generation.
• You're integrating image generation into an agent workflow and want to avoid managing separate API credentials.
• You want per-call pricing without committing to a subscription or monthly spend.

When to choose something else

• You need photorealistic images or highly detailed photography—consider DALL-E 3 or Midjourney for those use cases.
• You're generating thousands of images per month and want volume discounts—Recraft's per-call model may be more expensive than a subscription at scale.
• You need real-time image editing or manipulation—Recraft focuses on generation, not post-processing.
• You need ultra-fast generation times—Recraft prioritizes quality over speed.
• You're building a consumer-facing app and want the cheapest possible image generation—consider open-source models or budget alternatives.

Quickstart

claude mcp add --transport http recraft "https://recraft.mcp.xpay.sh/mcp?key=YOUR_XPAY_KEY"

Replace YOUR_XPAY_KEY with your xpay API key (get one free at https://xpay.tools after email or Google signup). Once connected, your Claude Code agent can call recraft_v3 directly—just ask it to generate an image and it will invoke the tool with your prompt and parameters.

Alternatively, connect all xpay providers in one MCP endpoint:

claude mcp add --transport http xpay "https://mcp.xpay.sh/mcp?key=YOUR_XPAY_KEY"

Then use xpay_discover("recraft") to find Recraft tools, xpay_details("recraft/recraft_v3") to inspect the schema and pricing, and xpay_run("recraft/recraft_v3", {...}) to invoke them.

Why route Recraft through xpay?

• No Recraft signup — xpay holds the upstream credentials. You authenticate once with your xpay API key and immediately access Recraft's API.
• Pure pay-per-call — No subscriptions, no monthly minimums. You're billed only for calls you make, with transparent per-call pricing.
• MCP-native integration — Call Recraft as a tool directly from Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, or any MCP-compatible agent. No HTTP client code needed.
• Unified billing — Use Recraft alongside other xpay providers (Tavily, Apollo, Browserbase, etc.) and receive a single invoice.
• Instant access — Start generating images in seconds after signup; no waiting for Recraft account approval or payment setup.
