vision

vision is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from KuaaMU/mcp-vision-bridge. It costs 132 tokens per session (3,310 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A guide for giving a text-only coding agent access to descriptions of images. It routes screenshots, photos, diagrams, charts, and other visual material through an image-analysis tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for analyzing, describing, or extracting text from visual content, including screenshots, error dialogs, diagrams, and charts.
Why use it?
It helps when the agent cannot inspect pixels directly and would otherwise be unable to read or interpret the supplied image.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

vision scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

Vision for a text-only agent

Your model cannot receive image content directly. When the user pastes an image, Claude Code shows it as an [Unsupported Image] placeholder — a text marker with no usable pixel data. You cannot read it. Instead, obtain the image through a route you can access, then send it through the analyze_image MCP tool, which forwards the pixels to a multimodal model and returns a detailed text description.

This skill has two parts:

  • A. Install — if analyze_image is not available, get it configured.
  • B. Use — how to route any image through analyze_image.

A. Install (run only if analyze_image is missing)

First check: is analyze_image available? If you can see analyze_image among your MCP tools, skip to B. If it is NOT in your tool list, the vision MCP is not configured yet. Do the following.

A1. Fast path — one-click installer (recommended):

If the repo is available on the machine, tell the user to run:

cd mcp-vision-bridge   # wherever the repo is cloned
./install.sh

The installer will:

  1. Detect the agent platform (Claude Code / Codex / opencode / Kimi Code / Cowork).
  2. Prompt for the vision model endpoint, API key, and model name.
  3. Write the API key into the MCP server config env (NOT into shell profiles).
  4. Write the MCP server config into the platform's config file.
  5. Copy this skill into place.
  6. Optionally install the auto-loop hook (Claude Code): a UserPromptSubmit hook that detects when the user pasted images and tells you to analyze them with image="session" — no snapshot, no lag, all pasted images in one call. No clipboard dependency.
  7. Optionally register the MCP server into Cowork (Claude-3p desktop), which saves pasted images to files automatically and needs no hook.
  8. Print "restart your agent" instructions.

If a [vision-bridge] system message appears in your context, that's the auto-loop hook firing: the user pasted images and wants you to look at them. Follow it — call analyze_image(image="session", ...) to analyze them all.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

vision is a skill published in the GitHub repository KuaaMU/mcp-vision-bridge (12 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 132 tokens to every session and 3,310 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
