vexy-lines-cli¶
Command-line interface and MCP bridge for Vexy Lines.
Parse .lines files, batch export to PDF/SVG/PNG, apply styles to images and video, and connect Claude Desktop or Cursor directly to the Vexy Lines MCP API -- all from the terminal.
What you can do¶
Without the app running:
- Inspect
.linesfile metadata (caption, DPI, dimensions, layer counts) - Print the full layer/group/fill hierarchy
- Extract embedded source and preview images
- Batch extract from entire directories
With the app running:
- Apply
.linesstyles to images via MCP - Interpolate between two styles across an image sequence
- Process video frame-by-frame with style transfer
- Export
.linesfiles to PDF/SVG/PNG without dialog interaction - AI-rename a file's layers and fills with a vision model (
vexy-lines-cli[ai]) - Query and manipulate the live document tree
For AI assistants:
- Bridge Claude Desktop and Cursor to the Vexy Lines MCP server via stdio
