vectorize

vectorize is a skill for Claude Code from svgnew/mcp. It costs 55 tokens per session (539 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that turns a raster image, such as a PNG or JPEG, into a clean SVG vector file. SVG images are made from shapes and can scale without becoming blurry.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to convert raster artwork into SVG format through svg.new.
Why use it?
It helps replace a pixel-based image with a scalable version suitable for resizing and editing.

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 A, and why

vectorize scanned grade A 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Vectorize Image to SVG

Convert a raster image to a clean SVG with svg.new's tracing engine.

Before you start

Use the svg.new MCP tools from this plugin (named mcp__plugin_svg-vectorizer_svg-new__*, or mcp__svgnew__* if the user connected the server directly). They sign in with the user's svg.new account, so no API key is involved. If the tools are missing or say sign-in is needed, ask the user to run /mcp, pick the svg.new server and choose Authenticate.

Don't fall back to a local tracer (vtracer, potrace) unless the user asks for one.

Steps

  1. Find the image from the user's request or $ARGUMENTS. svg.new takes PNG, JPEG and WebP.
  2. Send it to the vectorize tool in one of three ways:
    • Public HTTPS link: pass it as image_url (up to 20 MB).
    • Small local file (up to about 100 KB): read it, base64-encode it and pass image as data:<mime>;base64,<data> (image/png, image/jpeg or image/webp).
    • Larger local file (up to 20 MB): call create_upload. It returns an upload_id and a put_url. Upload the file there with an HTTP PUT, for example curl -sS -X PUT -H "Content-Type: image/png" --upload-file <path> "<put_url>", then call vectorize with the upload_id.
  3. Save the result next to the input with an .svg extension. Write the SVG text if it came back inline; if it came back as a download link (valid for one hour), save it with curl -sL -o <name>.svg "<link>".
  4. Report the output path, size, path count and the credits remaining.

Notes

  • Each vectorization costs 1 credit. Free accounts get 3 a day.
  • Pass output: "url" to always get a download link instead of inline SVG.
  • The result's ID opens in the editor at https://svg.new/edit/<id>.

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.

vectorize is a skill published in the GitHub repository svgnew/mcp (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 539 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
