Use with AI tools

Give Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any LLM one link with the whole Recraft API, or install the Claude Code skill, so it writes a working integration for you.

The Recraft docs are built so a coding assistant can write your integration from the source instead of guessing.

One link for any agent

Recraft API for AI agents has the whole API on one page: rules for writing code, every model with its price and supported parameters, every endpoint, limits, and working examples. Give your agent its Markdown version:

https://www.recraft.ai/docs/api-reference/agents.md

Then ask for what you need:

Read https://www.recraft.ai/docs/api-reference/agents.md.
Write a Python script that generates four SVG icons for a weather app
with the Recraft API and saves them to ./icons.

Claude Code skill

Install the skill once, and Claude Code knows how to use the Recraft API in every project:

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/recraft-api && cat > ~/.claude/skills/recraft-api/SKILL.md <<'EOF'
---
name: recraft-api
description: Generate, edit, vectorize, and upscale images with the Recraft API. Use when the user asks to create images, logos, icons, or SVGs with Recraft, or to write code that calls the Recraft API.
---

Before writing code or calling the API, run `curl -s https://www.recraft.ai/docs/api-reference/agents.md` and follow its "Rules for writing code".

- Token: the RECRAFT_API_TOKEN environment variable. If it is not set, ask the user to create a token at https://app.recraft.ai/profile/api.
- Base URL: https://external.api.recraft.ai/v1, plain HTTP with Bearer auth.
- Always pass `model` explicitly: `recraftv4_1` by default, `recraftv4_1_vector` for SVG, `recraftv4_1_flash` for fast drafts.
- Image URLs expire after about 24 hours. Download results that must be kept.
EOF

Then ask Claude Code, for example, “generate a vector logo for my app with Recraft and save it to public/logo.svg”.

Copy any page into your assistant

Every page has a menu at the top with:

• Copy page: the page as Markdown, ready to paste into a chat.
• View as Markdown: the raw Markdown in a new tab.
• Open in Claude, ChatGPT, or Perplexity: a new chat with the page already attached.
• Cursor and VS Code: connect the docs to your editor.
• MCP: connect the docs as an MCP server, so your assistant can search them.

You can also append .md to any page URL, for example https://www.recraft.ai/docs/api-reference/models/recraft-v4-1.md.

One model or tool at a time

Every page is also available as Markdown: add .md to its URL. A model or tool page holds its parameters, defaults, price, and a working request, so an agent gets everything for one model in a single fetch:

Page	Markdown
Recraft V4.1	https://www.recraft.ai/docs/api-reference/models/recraft-v4-1.md
Recraft V4.1 Flash	https://www.recraft.ai/docs/api-reference/models/recraft-v4-1-flash.md
Recraft V4 Styles	https://www.recraft.ai/docs/api-reference/models/recraft-v4-styles.md
Vectorize	https://www.recraft.ai/docs/api-reference/tools/vectorize.md
Any other page	Its URL plus .md

The whole documentation

• agents.md is the whole API on one page (under 20 KB). Use it for anything API-related.
• openapi.json is the machine-readable API description, for code generators and tools that read OpenAPI. See OpenAPI.
• llms.txt lists every page with a one-line description. Point an agent at it to let it find the right page on its own.
• llms-full.txt is every page in one file, including the Recraft Studio guides. It’s large, so prefer agents.md for API work.

Use Recraft as a tool

To let an assistant generate and edit images itself, not just write code, connect the Recraft MCP server.

The MCP server is billed differently from the API: it uses the subscription credits of your Recraft plan, the same balance as Recraft Studio, not API units. See MCP billing.
