# Tools

Recraft's MCP server allows use of the following tools.

## Billing

The two MCP servers bill differently against the same operation:

* **Local MCP server** — charges the same prices as the [Recraft API](/api-reference/pricing) and deducts from your **API units** balance. The USD prices in the table below correspond to this rate.
* **Remote MCP server** — charges the same prices as the Recraft web platform and deducts from your **subscription credits** balance. See [Credits](/plans-and-billing/credits) for credit costs per operation.

## Models and style compatibility

Tools that accept a `model` parameter (`generate_image`, `image_to_image`, `replace_background`) work with any model from the Recraft V2, V3, V4, and V4.1 generations. A few compatibility rules apply:

* **Styles are not supported on V4 and V4.1 models** (including their Pro, Utility, and Vector variants). The `style` and `style_id` parameters only apply to V2 and V3 models. See [Styles](/api-reference/styles) for the full compatibility matrix.
* **Vector models** (names ending in `_vector`) produce SVG output; raster models produce PNG/WEBP/JPG output. Pair your chosen model with a compatible style category — raster styles with raster models, vector styles with vector models.
* **`custom_style_id`** created via `create_style` is bound to the model and base style supplied at creation time; reuse it with the same model.
