# Image Hosting for AI Agents, CI and Coding Agents

Agents and CI jobs work in terminals and sandboxes, not file pickers. An image has to become a URL, or get smaller, or be findable later, with one command or one tool call and no human in the loop.

These posts show the patterns that work: giving an agent a way to host images, running the same step in CI, and keeping screenshots small and searchable.

## Compress images in CI and pre-commit, for developers and AI agents

Oversized screenshots creep into repos because nothing stops them. One command, run in a hook and in CI, compresses them: no account, nothing uploaded, safe to re-run.

## Find a screenshot by the text inside it

Add one flag to an upload and PixelVault writes alt text, a caption and the OCR text for the image, then lets you search your images by their words. Real output and queries.

## How to host an image with your coding agent

You're mid-session in Claude Code or Codex and an image needs to become a URL. Here's the exact prompt to hand the agent, why the raw API call keeps tripping agents up, and the open-source skill that turns hosting into one command.

## Images into remote & cloud coding agents

Your agent runs in the cloud or over SSH and can't take a pasted screenshot. SSH clipboard bridges like cc-clip solve half of it — here's an honest comparison, and why a hosted URL works everywhere a tunnel doesn't.

## MCP image hosting

PixelVault runs a remote MCP server — connect Claude, Cursor, or any agent and host images as a native tool call.

## Host Playwright & CI screenshots on a real CDN

Stop digging through zipped artifacts. Turn every test-failure screenshot into a clickable URL you can paste into a PR.
