Use image_to_dxf with this public image URL and make a laser-ready DXF at 150 mm wide.

Claude web connector

In Claude, choose Add custom connector, name it iLoveDXF, and paste https://ilovedxf.com/mcp. Leave OAuth Client ID and Client Secret empty; Claude discovers registration and sign-in automatically.

Local client configs

Use these when Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor should read local absolute file paths from your computer. This is separate from the Claude web custom connector. The package is built and ready; these public npx commands work after the npm package is published.

Important file behavior

The Claude web connector runs from Anthropic cloud, so it cannot read C:\... paths on your computer. Use a public URL, base64 upload, or an MCP fileId. For direct local paths, use the local npx package with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor after the package is published to npm.
