Check Codex MCP Setup for Image Vectorization

When you have a raster image in a Codex workspace, the PerfectVector MCP connector gives Codex a tracing tool. Codex can pass the local file to the remote service and save the SVG in the workspace you specify. This setup reference shows how to check the server entry, distinguish it from an authenticated connection, and identify the source and destination for a later conversion.

Read the remote server configuration

A remote MCP server exposes tools over a network connection. PerfectVector uses Streamable HTTP for that connection. The documented Codex setup command is:

codex mcp add perfectvector --url https://mcp.perfectvector.com/mcp

Use the PerfectVector Google sign-in when Codex prompts you. If sign-in did not finish, the setup guide documents codex mcp login perfectvector. To inspect an entry already in your configuration, run codex mcp get perfectvector --json. The server name, transport, and URL are useful when you need to identify which entry Codex will use.

Our CLI check used a temporary configuration override. Codex reported streamable_http and the expected server URL. A separate public endpoint check returned OAuth discovery metadata, while an unauthenticated MCP initialize request returned HTTP 401. The evidence covers local config parsing and the public authentication boundary. Successful sign-in still requires the account flow.

Conceptual handoff

Name one source and one output

For a single raster already in the repository, give Codex the exact relative path from its working directory. A prompt can also specify a separate output directory and ask for the saved path when the job is complete.

Use PerfectVector to vectorize ./assets/badge.png.
Save the returned file as ./assets/vector/badge.svg.
Keep the source PNG. Tell me the exact path when the SVG is saved.

Codex may ask for network access for the upload command. The PerfectVector price check and your approval are another part of the workflow. If you instead provide a public HTTPS image URL, PerfectVector can fetch that image without a local file upload command. Use a URL that already serves the file publicly.

Read the saved file before using it

Open the requested output path and verify that it contains an SVG. Compare it with the original at the size it will appear in your project. Check the silhouette, holes, and any small lettering. If Codex reports a result link without a local path, ask it to save the existing result to the path you specified. If the link expired, request a fresh link while the SVG remains stored. A link works for 24 hours. PerfectVector MCP downloads

FAQ

Can I pass a local image path to Codex?

Yes, if the agent can read the file in its workspace. Give the exact path and use a supported PNG, JPEG, or WebP. Codex may ask for network permission to upload the image. PerfectVector conversion guide

Does a listed server mean my PerfectVector account is connected?

The CLI entry identifies the server configured for Codex. To verify the account connection, ask Codex to check your PerfectVector credit balance. The balance check is free. PerfectVector connection check
