Accepted Answer

Vision Relay is a tool that integrates local Gemini and Qwen multimodal command-line interfaces into a unified Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling text-only AI models to access advanced vision capabilities.

Question 4

How does Vision Relay enable vision for text-only AI models?

Accepted Answer

It acts as a relay, routing image analysis requests from MCP-enabled text-only models (like Claude or Codex) through your locally installed Gemini or Qwen CLI tools, thereby adding multimodal features without switching providers.

Question 5

Which multimodal CLIs does Vision Relay support?
