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.

Why agents get stuck hosting images, what "agent-first" really means, and how to wire it up.
