VectoSolve MCP Server: AI Image Tools Inside Claude Code, Cursor & Windsurf

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI coding assistants call external tools natively. Instead of copy-pasting file paths or switching to a browser, you describe what you want and the AI handles the rest.

The @vectosolve/mcp server connects VectoSolve's image processing API to any MCP-compatible client — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and more. Vectorize images, remove backgrounds, upscale, and generate logos without leaving your editor.

1. Open a browser tab
2. Upload your image
3. Wait for processing
4. Download the result
5. Move the file to your project

With MCP, you say "vectorize this image" and the AI does all five steps. The result lands in your project directory, ready to use.

Quick Setup

The setup takes 30 seconds. Add VectoSolve to your MCP client config:

Claude Code

Add to your .mcp.json (project root or ~/.claude/.mcp.json for global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vectosolve": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@vectosolve/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "VECTOSOLVE_API_KEY": "vs_xxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Open Settings → MCP Servers → Add Server:

• Name: vectosolve
• Command: npx @vectosolve/mcp
• Environment: VECTOSOLVE_API_KEY=vs_xxx

Windsurf

Add to ~/.windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vectosolve": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@vectosolve/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "VECTOSOLVE_API_KEY": "vs_xxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

The MCP server exposes four tools that your AI assistant can call:

vectorize

Convert any raster image (PNG, JPG, WebP) to clean SVG vector format.

"Vectorize the logo at ./assets/logo.png"
"Convert this screenshot to SVG"

The AI reads your local file, sends it to VectoSolve's API, and returns the SVG content directly in the conversation. Cost: $0.20 per image.

remove_background

Remove the background from any image. Returns a transparent PNG URL.

"Remove the background from product-photo.jpg"
"Make this image transparent"

Cost: $0.07 per image.

upscale

Upscale low-resolution images using AI. Great for icons, thumbnails, or old assets.

"Upscale this favicon to 512x512"
"Make small-icon.png higher resolution"

Cost: $0.15 per image.

generate_logo

Generate SVG logos from a text description. Supports multiple styles and brand colors.

"Generate a modern tech logo for my startup called Nextera"
"Create 4 icon-style logo variants in blue and green"

Parameters:

• prompt — describe the logo you want
• style — vector_illustration, icon, line_art, engraving, line_circuit, linocut
• model — recraftv3 (best quality) or recraftv2
• colors — brand colors as hex array, e.g. ["#0090ff", "#1cb721"]
• num_variants — 1, 2, or 4

Cost: $0.40 (recraftv3) or $0.25 (recraftv2) per logo.

Real Workflow Examples

Here are actual prompts you can use once the MCP server is configured:

Design workflow:

"Vectorize all PNG icons in ./public/icons/ and save as SVG"

E-commerce:

"Remove the background from every product photo in ./images/products/"

Branding:

"Generate 4 logo variants for a coffee shop called 'Bean There' using warm brown and cream colors"

Asset cleanup:

"Upscale this old 64x64 favicon to a usable resolution"

The AI handles file I/O, API calls, and error handling. You describe the outcome, it does the work.

Input Methods

All tools accept two input types:

• file_path — any local file path (e.g. ./assets/logo.png)
• image_url — any public URL (e.g. https://example.com/image.png)

The AI assistant automatically detects which to use based on your prompt.

Credit System

Every tool call uses credits from your VectoSolve account. The response always includes credit usage and remaining balance, so you can track spending in real time.

Part of the Developer Ecosystem

The MCP server is one of three developer tools for VectoSolve:

All three connect to the same VectoSolve API and share your credit balance. Pick the one that fits your workflow — or use all three.

Get Started

1. Create a free account and grab your API key
2. Add the MCP config to your editor (see setup above)
3. Ask your AI assistant to vectorize an image

The server runs via npx — no global install needed, always up to date.
