Md2svg

You can convert Markdown content into scalable SVG images by running the Markdown to SVG MCP server. This lets you visualize rich Markdown documents as vector graphics, with consistent styling and easy integration into MCP-enabled clients.

How to use

You run the server in your MCP environment and connect your MCP client to it to convert Markdown to SVG on demand. Provide the Markdown text you want to render, and the server will produce an SVG image that you can display, save, or further process. You can customize the output by adjusting dimensions, padding, and colors as needed.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need an MCP runtime to host the server, typically available as a modular runtime that executes MCP servers.

Step 1: Ensure the MCP runtime is installed and available in your environment.

Step 2: Add the MD to SVG MCP server configuration to your MCP setup. The server is exposed via the MD2SVG MCP entry using the runtime command and arguments shown in the configuration snippet.

Step 3: Start the MCP runtime so it can load and serve the MD2SVG MCP endpoint.

Configuration and usage notes

The MD2SVG MCP server supports converting Markdown text to SVG with configurable output. Key parameters include the Markdown input, the SVG file name, and rendering options such as width and padding.

Configuration snippet shown below demonstrates how to register the MD2SVG MCP server with the runtime. You can adapt the names and paths as needed in your environment.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "md2svg-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "md2svg-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Notes on customization and parameters

The tool that performs the transformation accepts several parameters, including the Markdown text to render, the output SVG file name, the width of the SVG image, and the padding around the content. You can tune these to fit your UI, print size, or storage constraints.

Troubleshooting and tips

If you encounter issues starting the MCP server, verify that the MCP runtime is accessible, the command and arguments are correctly registered, and the runtime has permission to execute the md2svg-mcp binary or script. Review your environment for dependencies required by the MD2SVG process and ensure that any necessary environment variables are provided by your MCP environment.
