Supericons lets AI coding agents search, recommend, and retrieve SVG icons from a semantic registry of 20,000+ free icons.
Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a reasonably distinct role: search for concept-based discovery, recommend for multi-slot UI sets, preview for rendering known refs, get for exact retrieval, list for libraries. The main overlap is between search_icons and recommend_icons, but descriptions guide the flow (search first, recommend for multi-slot with context). Some risk of misselection remains for simple queries.
All five tools follow a clean snake_case verb_noun pattern (get_icon, list_libraries, preview_icons, recommend_icons, search_icons). Fully predictable and readable.
Five tools is well within the ideal 3-15 range and matches the icon discovery/retrieval domain. Each tool is non-trivial and serves a distinct stage of the workflow (list -> search/recommend -> preview -> get).
The surface covers discovery, recommendation, previewing, exact retrieval, and library enumeration, giving a complete end-to-end icon workflow. Minor gaps exist around library-scoped browsing or bulk export, but core operations are fully covered.
Retrieve one exact SVG icon using an exact ref returned by search_icons, recommend_icons, or preview_icons. Do not guess icon IDs. Use search_icons first if the user only described a concept. Returns SVG code, explicit public library labels, visual preview URL, and public semantic guidance for the exact icon.
Inputs: id (required), library (required), style. Returns: code, hint, icon, error, +2 more
List the free icon libraries available through the hosted Supericons MCP server. Use this before filtering by library or when a user asks which icon libraries are supported.
Inputs: no named parameters. Returns: libraries, publicRecordCount
Refine an icon result set or preview known icon refs returned by another Supericons tool. Use search_icons first for normal icon requests. Icon lists up to 100 refs are accepted and safely truncated to 12. Returns ready-to-use Markdown, a hosted preview fallback, a direct PNG image URL, and, when requested, an MCP image contact sheet.
Inputs: limit, query, style, locale, +3 more. Returns: error, query, results, warnings, +10 more
Recommend a coherent icon set for up to 20 named UI slots in one call. Uses task context to narrow ambiguous meanings. When context is insufficient, returns needs_clarification with labeled interpretation options instead of guessing. Invalid inputs and service failures return a plain-language reason and a next step instead of a bare protocol error. Returns one recommendation and optional alternatives for each resolved slot, with explicit public library labels and visual preview URLs where available. Library key si means Supericons, not Simple Icons.
Inputs: task, slots, style, locale, +4 more. Returns: code, hint, task, error, +20 more
Use this as the main icon tool. Search 20,000+ curated SVG icons across 11 libraries by meaning, label, visual description, tags, and synonyms. When matches exist, the response includes a paste-ready suggested answer, a direct preview image, and Markdown that can show the image in the final reply. When no supported match exists, it returns an honest structured no-result with a next step and no fabricated icon. If you choose a library yourself, use prefer. Use strict only when the user explicitly requires that library. Library key si means Supericons, not Simple Icons.
Inputs: query (required), limit, style, locale, +3 more. Returns: code, hint, error, status, +19 more
