Summary
An agent can produce a usable SVG from a raster image.
The clean-up calls are what make it more than a converter: after the trace, recolouring and palette reduction cost nothing, so the file can be brought to the shape you want without spending another credit.
What it is
The MCP server for svg.new, an AI image-to-SVG vectoriser. Conversion, background removal and batch runs cost credits; recolouring, simplifying and reading your history are free.
What you get
- An image converted to SVG, at 1 credit
- Several images processed as a batch at 1 credit each, with progress polled
- The background removed by AI, at 1 credit
- Colours changed in an existing SVG, free
- The colour palette reduced, free
- Your vectorisation history read back, free
Requirements
An svg.new API key as SVG_NEW_API_KEY in the client config. Runs from npx, and there is a Codex CLI install path as well.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — npx @svgnew/mcp, then supply credentials
