Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

MCP server for converting bitmap images to SVG vector graphics using potrace tracing.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Design, images & audio

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "svg-tracer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@pulsemcp/svg-tracer-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add svg-tracer -- npx -y @pulsemcp/svg-tracer-mcp-server

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "svg-tracer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@pulsemcp/svg-tracer-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "svg-tracer": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@pulsemcp/svg-tracer-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Svg Tracer safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.3) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

SVG Tracer MCP Server

An MCP server that converts bitmap images (PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, WebP) to SVG vector graphics using potrace tracing.

Features

  • Converts any common bitmap format to clean SVG vector paths
  • Automatic preprocessing of transparent PNGs (alpha channel to black-on-white mask)
  • Customizable tracing parameters (threshold, speckle suppression, curve optimization)
  • Target size scaling for generating icons (e.g., 50x50 Dewey icons)
  • Custom fill color and background support
  • Works with the local filesystem by default (reads input, writes output to disk)

Quick Start

Using npx
{

"mcpServers": { "svg-tracer": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@pulsemcp/svg-tracer-mcp-server"] } } }

Manual Setup
git clone https://github.com/pulsemcp/mcp-servers.git

cd mcp-servers/productionized/svg-tracer npm install npm run build npm start

Tools

trace_bitmap_to_svg

Convert a bitmap image to an SVG vector graphic using potrace tracing.

Parameters:

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
input_pathstringYesAbsolute path to the input bitmap image file
output_pathstringNoPath for the output SVG (defaults to input path with .svg extension)
thresholdnumberNoBlack/white threshold 0-255 (default: 128)
turd_sizenumberNoSuppress speckles up to this many pixels (default: 2)
opt_tolerancenumberNoCurve optimization tolerance 0-1 (default: 0.2)
colorstringNoFill color for traced paths (default: "#000000")
backgroundstringNoBackground color (default: "transparent")
target_widthnumberNoTarget SVG width in pixels
target_heightnumberNoTarget SVG height in pixels

Example usage:

Convert /tmp/logo.png to SVG:

trace_bitmap_to_svg(input_path="/tmp/logo.png")

Create a 50x50 icon with brand color: trace_bitmap_to_svg( input_path="/tmp/logo.png", output_path="/tmp/logo-icon.svg", target_width=50, target_height=50, color="#FF5733" )

How It Works

  1. Read input - Loads the bitmap image (PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, WebP)
  2. Preprocess - Handles transparency by converting alpha channel to a black-on-white grayscale mask
  3. Trace - Uses potrace to convert the bitmap to SVG vector paths
  4. Scale - Optionally wraps paths in a transform group to fit target dimensions
  5. Output - Writes the SVG to disk and returns the SVG string with metadata

Supported Formats

  • PNG (including transparent PNGs with alpha channel)
  • JPEG / JPG
  • WebP
  • BMP
  • GIF
  • TIFF
