@icogenie/mcp
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for IcoGenie. Enables AI agents like Claude to generate production-ready SVG icons programmatically.
Installation
npm install -g @icogenie/mcp
# or use directly with npx
npx @icogenie/mcpConfiguration
Claude Desktop
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):
{
"mcpServers": {
"icogenie": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@icogenie/mcp"]
}
}
}Claude Code
The server works automatically when installed globally or via npx.
Authentication
On first use, the MCP server will:
Open your browser for authentication
Ask you to approve access
Save the session token to
~/.icogenie/config.json
Subsequent uses are automatic - the token is shared with the IcoGenie CLI.
CI/CD Environments
Set ICOGENIE_SESSION_TOKEN environment variable to skip browser authentication:
export ICOGENIE_SESSION_TOKEN="your-session-token"Available Tools

})Returns: { candidates, regenToken, creditsRemaining }
confirm_regeneration
Finalize a regeneration by selecting one of the 4 candidates.
Cost: Free (included in regenerate_icon)
confirm_regeneration({
regenToken: "tok_abc123",
selectedIndex: 2 // 0-3, which candidate to keep
})Returns: { success, preview, creditsRemaining }
check_credits
Check your current credit balance.
Cost: Free
check_credits()Returns: { credits, team, user }
download_icon
Download the final SVG + PNG package for an icon or bundle.
Cost: 5 credits (single) or 4 credits/icon (bundle)
download_icon({
generationId: "abc123", // or bundleId
outputPath: "./icons.zip" // optional, returns base64 if omitted
})normalize_bundle

style: "solid"
})Returns: { bundleId, icons, bundleType, styleRecommendation, reasoning }
generate_bundle

Cost: 1 credit per icon
generate_bundle({
icons: [
{ name: "home", description: "Home navigation icon" },
{ name: "cart", description: "Shopping cart icon" }
],
style: "solid",
bundleId: "bundle_abc123" // optional, from normalize_bundle
})Returns: { bundleId, iconCount, icons: [{ name, description, preview }], pricing, creditsUsed, creditsRemaining }
save_to_library
Save a generated icon to your personal library.
Cost: Free
save_to_library({
generationId: "abc123",
name: "notification-bell", // optional display name
tags: ["ui", "alerts"] // optional tags
})Returns: { success, libraryItemId }
list_library

Cost: Free
list_library({
page: 1, // optional, default 1
limit: 20, // optional, default 20
tag: "ui" // optional filter
})Returns: { items: [{ id, name, tags, preview, createdAt }], total, page }
download_from_library
Download an icon from your library as SVG + PNG.
Cost: Free
download_from_library({
libraryItemId: "lib_abc123",
outputPath: "./bell-icon.zip" // optional, returns base64 if omitted
})Returns: { savedTo } or { base64, filename }
claim_daily_credits
Claim 2 free credits, available once every 24 hours.
Cost: Free
claim_daily_credits()Returns: { credited, creditsRemaining, nextClaimAt }
Example Workflow
Check credits:
check_credits() → { credits: 50, team: { name: "Personal" } }Generate a single icon:
generate_icon({ prompt: "notification bell icon", style: "outline" }) → { sessionId: "abc123", preview: "...", creditsRemaining: 49 }Refine if needed (two-phase):
regenerate_icon({ sessionId: "abc123", index: 0, prompt: "Add a dot indicator" }) → { candidates: ["...", "...", "...", "..."], regenToken: "tok_xyz", creditsRemaining: 48 } confirm_regeneration({ regenToken: "tok_xyz", selectedIndex: 1 }) → { success: true, preview: "...", creditsRemaining: 48 }Download final package:
download_icon({ generationId: "abc123", outputPath: "./bell-icon.zip" }) → { savedTo: "./bell-icon.zip" }
Bundle Workflow
Plan the bundle (free):
normalize_bundle({ description: "e-commerce app icons", targetCount: 8 }) → { icons: [{ name: "cart", ... }, ...], styleRecommendation: "outline" }Review and generate (pass bundleId for traceability):
generate_bundle({ icons: [...], style: "outline", bundleId: "bundle_abc" }) → { bundleId: "bundle_abc", icons: [...], credits: { previewUsed: 8 } }Download bundle:
download_icon({ bundleId: "xyz789", outputPath: "./ecommerce-icons.zip" })
