svg-tracer — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install

Q: How to install svg-tracer in Claude Code?

Run `claude mcp add svg-tracer -- npx -y @pulsemcp/svg-tracer-mcp-server` in your terminal. This registers the server and exposes its tracing tool.

Q: Does svg-tracer accept relative file paths?

No. The `input_path` parameter requires an absolute filesystem path to read the source image correctly.

Vectorizes raster graphics into SVG files using potrace directly on your filesystem. Useful for turning PNG or JPG icons into vector assets.

What svg-tracer does

The server exposes a single tool named trace_bitmap_to_svg. It takes local raster files like PNG, JPEG, WebP, BMP, GIF, or TIFF and turns them into SVG paths. For PNGs with transparency, it converts the alpha channel into a monochrome mask before tracing.

Relative paths will fail. The input_path parameter demands an absolute path on disk. Callers can adjust the black-and-white cutoff via threshold (default 128), remove speckles with turd_size (default 2), and tune curve fitting with opt_tolerance. You can also set output dimensions with target_width and target_height, or pick custom fill and background colors.

What it helps with

trace raster logos into clean vector SVG files
generate sized vector icons from bitmap sketches
suppress speckles and noise during image tracing
convert transparent PNG silhouettes into vectors

Example prompts for the agent

Convert /tmp/logo.png to an SVG file in the same directory
Create a 50x50 icon from /tmp/icon.png with fill color #FF5733
Trace /tmp/sketch.webp with a threshold of 150 and speckle suppression
