Svg Generator

Generate SVGs from text prompts or convert raster images to SVG using the Quiver AI API.

Works as a cross-platform AI agent skill (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf) and as an MCP server (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, Roo Code, Claude Desktop).

Prerequisites

Get an API key from Quiver AI and set it as an environment variable:

export QUIVER_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Installation

Claude Code (Plugin)

claude plugin add /path/to/cc-skills-svg-generator

This installs both the skill (prompt-driven usage) and the MCP server (tool-based usage).

Claude Code (MCP Server only)

claude mcp add svg-generator -- uvx svg-generator-mcp

Claude Code (Skill only)

Copy or symlink the svg-generator/ directory into your skills folder:

# User-level (all projects)
cp -r svg-generator ~/.claude/skills/svg-generator

# Project-level (this project only)
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r svg-generator .claude/skills/svg-generator

OpenAI Codex CLI

As a skill:

mkdir -p .agents/skills
cp -r svg-generator .agents/skills/svg-generator

As an MCP server — add to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.svg-generator]
command = "uvx"
args = ["svg-generator-mcp"]
enabled = true

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "svg-generator": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["svg-generator-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "QUIVER_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cline / Roo Code

Add via the MCP settings panel, or add to the MCP config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "svg-generator": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["svg-generator-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "QUIVER_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "svg-generator": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["svg-generator-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "QUIVER_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Install from PyPI

pip install svg-generator-mcp

Or run directly with uvx:

uvx svg-generator-mcp

MCP Server Tools

The MCP server exposes two tools:

generate_svg

Generate SVGs from text descriptions.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
prompt	string	Yes	Text description of the SVG
output	string	No	Output filename
output_dir	string	No	Output directory (default: .)
instructions	string	No	Style guidance
references	string[]	No	Reference image URLs (max 4)
n	int	No	Number of SVGs, 1-16 (default: 1)
temperature	float	No	Randomness 0-2 (default: 1)
model	string	No	Model name (default: arrow-preview)
timeout	int	No	Request timeout in seconds (default: 600)

vectorize_svg

Convert raster images (PNG, JPG, WebP) to SVG.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
image	string	Yes	Local file path or URL
output	string	No	Output filename
output_dir	string	No	Output directory (default: .)
auto_crop	bool	No	Enable automatic cropping
target_size	int	No	Target size in pixels (128-4096)
n	int	No	Number of SVGs, 1-16 (default: 1)
temperature	float	No	Randomness 0-2 (default: 1)
model	string	No	Model name (default: arrow-preview)
timeout	int	No	Request timeout in seconds (default: 600)

CLI Scripts

The skill also includes standalone CLI scripts:

# Text-to-SVG
python3 svg-generator/scripts/generate_svg.py \
  --prompt "a minimalist mountain logo" \
  --output mountain.svg

# Image-to-SVG
python3 svg-generator/scripts/vectorize_svg.py \
  --image photo.png \
  --output vectorized.svg

See svg-generator/SKILL.md for full CLI documentation.
