Choose a workspace when connecting to MCP
The MCP OAuth consent screen now includes a Workspace picker. When your client asks you to sign in to Krea, you’ll see every workspace you belong to and can pick which one this MCP session runs against.- The selected workspace is bound to the OAuth session and determines where compute units are billed and where uploaded assets are saved.
- Your default workspace is pre-selected — switch it if you want the session to run somewhere else (for example, a shared studio workspace instead of your personal one).
- To rebind, disconnect Krea in your MCP client and reconnect. Legacy sessions without an explicit binding continue to fall back to your default workspace.
Upload local files through MCP with get_upload_url
The MCP upload flow now uses presigned URLs. The new get_upload_url tool returns a short-lived URL that your client POSTs the file to as multipart/form-data, and the response contains an asset URL you can pass straight into a generate call.- Presigned URLs are valid for three hours — plenty of time for a client to stream the file up before generating.
- If your file is already reachable at a public URL, or you can encode it as a base64 data URI, skip the upload and pass that value directly instead.
get_upload_url for a walkthrough.Media URL inputs are consistent across the API
Every endpoint that accepts a media URL now takes the same three forms interchangeably — an external URL, a base64 data URI, or an uploaded asset URL fromPOST /assets or MCP’s get_upload_url. The API reference now calls this out up front so you can pick whichever fits your workflow.See Media URL inputs in the API reference introduction.Krea 2 Raw and Krea 2 Turbo open weights
Krea 2 is now open-weights. We’ve released Raw and Turbo checkpoints under a permissive license, alongside a full technical report covering data, architecture, training, and infrastructure.- Krea 2 Raw — the base text-to-image foundation model focused on aesthetic range and creative control.
- Krea 2 Turbo — the distilled variant for fast generation, compatible with style references, moodboards, and LoRAs.
- Weights are on Hugging Face and inference code is on GitHub.
- Read the full Krea 2 Technical Report for details on the multi-stage training pipeline, prompt expander, and style-reference system.
Pass reference images by URL or data URI
You can now provide reference and source images without uploading them to/assets first. Image-to-image, image-to-video, and Krea 2 style transfer endpoints accept three formats interchangeably:- An asset URL returned from
POST /assets. - A public external URL pointing to the image.
- A base64 data URI (for example,
data:image/jpeg;base64,...) for fully inline payloads.
Organizations in private beta for enterprise
Organizations are now in private beta for enterprise customers. An Organization sits above your workspaces and centralizes billing, members, verified domains, and Single Sign-On under one enterprise account.- Owner, Admin, and Member roles at the organization level, separate from workspace roles.
- Organization dashboard for Owners and Admins to create workspaces, invite members, assign roles, and manage access in one place.
- Domain verification unlocks Domain Capture (auto-enroll users with matching email addresses) and is a prerequisite for SAML SSO.
- SAML Single Sign-On so your team signs in with your identity provider.
- Model Access Controls (Business and Enterprise) to restrict which AI models are available to members using allowlist or blocklist modes.
Zero Data Retention available for Krea enterprise API
Zero Data Retention is now available for enterprise API customers. Send theX-Api-Zero-Data-Retention: 1 header on a request and Krea won’t persist your prompt or generation after it’s returned.- Supported on
krea-2/medium,krea-2/large, andkrea-2/medium-turbo. - Any reference images (for example style references) must be passed as data URIs — remote URLs aren’t supported under ZDR.
- Contact support@krea.ai to enable ZDR on your workspace.
OAuth sign-in for the Krea MCP server
Sign in to the Krea MCP server with OAuth. You can now connect MCP-compatible clients to Krea without creating an API key — just point your client athttps://api.krea.ai/mcp and complete the browser sign-in.- Works out of the box with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other clients that support OAuth.
- API token authentication is still supported for clients that don’t speak OAuth.
MCP billing now follows your auth method
Clearer billing for MCP usage. MCP requests are now billed based on how you authenticate:- OAuth — usage is charged to your Krea account’s compute units.
- API token — usage is charged to your workspace’s API balance, same as direct API calls.
Generative sliders land in the Krea 2 API
Generative sliders for Krea 2 are now available on the API. Three new fields —intensity, complexity, and movement — let you steer the visual character of a Krea 2 generation without changing your prompt.- Each slider takes an integer from −100 to 100, with
0as neutral. intensitycontrols how stylized the image feels,complexitycontrols how dense the composition is, andmovementcontrols pose energy and implied camera motion.- Supported on all Krea 2 variants:
krea-2/medium,krea-2/large, andkrea-2/medium-turbo. - Sliders don’t change the cost of a generation and compose cleanly with style transfer and moodboards.
