Reduce the number of colors in an SVG using quantization. Triggers on: simplify svg, reduce svg colors, fewer colors, quantize svg, minimize svg colors.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Simplify SVG Colors Reduce the number of distinct colors in an SVG with median-cut quantization. ## Before you start Use the svg.new MCP tools from this plugin (named `mcp__plugin_svg-vectorizer_svg-new__*`, or `mcp__svgnew__*` if the user connected the server directly). They sign in with the user's svg.new account, so no API key is involved. If the tools are missing or say sign-in is needed, ask the user to run `/mcp`, pick the svg.new server and choose **Authenticate**. ## Steps 1. Read the SVG named in the request or `$ARGUMENTS`. 2. Decide `max_colors`. Ask the user if they didn't say; 2, 4, 8 and 16 are common. 3. Call `simplify_svg` with `max_colors` and the SVG, as `svg` (the file's text) or `svg_url` (a public link, such as a download link from an earlier result). 4. Report the color count before and after. 5. Write the simplified SVG to the file. If it came back as a download link, save it with `curl -sL -o <file> "<link>"`. ## Notes - Free: no credits are used. - `max_colors` can be 1 to 256. - Similar colors merge; distant colors stay distinct. Gradient stops are reduced too. - Shapes with `fill="none"` are not affected.

How to install
mdr add svgnew/plugin/simplify@sha256:e2b49a415170c13bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.8dbae0f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
