About Vectorize

Vectorize is a hosted MCP server for assistants that need to request raster-image tracing through the Vectorize API. It exposes tracing guidance and prepares authenticated requests, while images and API responses stay outside the server.

Key features

  1. 01Tracing presets and options
  2. 02API usage guidance
  3. 03Validated request details
  4. 04SVG, PDF, EPS, DXF or JSON output

Use cases

  1. 01Prepare a tracing request for an image
  2. 02Review presets and limits before tracing

MCP support

The hosted MCP server exposes three tools for API guidance, trace options, and preparing an authenticated HTTP request. The caller runs the request where the image is; the MCP server does not carry files or tracing results.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

From the project README

Vectorize — MCP setup

Connect your AI assistant to Vectorize — raster images (PNG, JPG, …) traced into vector drawings: SVG, PDF, EPS or DXF — through our hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Sign in once with your dudko.dev account; no API key to paste.

The server is the front door to the Vectorize HTTP API, not a tracer: a picture never travels through the model or through the server. The assistant asks for a request, and runs it wherever the image is.

  • Server: vectorize
  • Transport: streamable HTTP
  • URL: https://vectorize.dudko.dev/mcp
  • Auth: OAuth 2.1 via auth.dudko.dev — you'll be prompted to sign in.

What you can do

Three tools, all free:

ToolWhat it does
api_accessHow the Vectorize API works.
trace_optionsThe presets (photo, poster, black & white), the options and the limits.
api_requestChecks trace options and returns the exact request — URL, headers, a curl command — with a 15-minute credential for your account. Output: svg, pdf, eps, dxf or json.

Install in Claude Code (plugin)

/plugin marketplace add dudko-dev/vectorize-mcp-setup
/plugin install vectorize@vectorize
/reload-plugins

Then run /mcp and complete the sign-in when prompted.

Prefer not to use the marketplace? Add the server directly:

claude mcp add --transport http vectorize https://vectorize.dudko.dev/mcp

Connect from other clients

Same remote URL, same sign-in — only the config location differs.

Claude Desktop / claude.ai connectors
  1. Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
  2. Name: Vectorize
  3. URL: https://vectorize.dudko.dev/mcp
  4. Save, then connect and sign in when prompted.
Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (per project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vectorize": {
      "url": "https://vectorize.dudko.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}
VS Code (GitHub Copilot / MCP) and other clients
{
  "servers": {
    "vectorize": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://vectorize.dudko.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Authentication

The server is an OAuth 2.1 resource server. The first call answers 401 with a WWW-Authenticate header pointing at its protected-resource metadata:

  • https://vectorize.dudko.dev/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp

which names https://auth.dudko.dev as the authorization server (scope usage). Compliant MCP clients discover this automatically — you only need the server URL, and you sign in with your dudko.dev account. Tokens are audience-bound to https://vectorize.dudko.dev/mcp and are refused anywhere else.

The server itself carries no files and no content: its tools return a ready-to-run HTTP request with a short-lived credential (15 minutes, good for this API only) for the account you signed in as. Your assistant runs that request wherever the file is, and the API answers the caller directly. Each request counts against your account's plan like any other API call; the MCP tools themselves are free.


Troubleshooting

  • 401 / asked to sign in again — the token expired; reconnect in the client.
  • "plan used up" / 402 — the tracing quota for your account is spent; retrying will not help. See https://auth.dudko.dev/account.
  • Tools don't appear — check the client finished the sign-in (/mcp in Claude Code shows connected).

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
