Asset Finder MCP

The all-in-one asset search MCP server for AI coding agents

Find icons, logos, stock photos, vectors, and emoji — all from a single tool call.

CI npm version License: MIT Node.js


Why?

AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline) build UIs every day — but when they need an icon, a logo, or a stock photo, the human has to go find it manually. Asset Finder MCP fixes this. Your AI agent can now search 700,000+ assets and pick the right one, in real-time, without leaving the editor.

Quick Start

One-line install (no API keys needed):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "asset-finder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "asset-finder-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

That's it. The server starts immediately with 3 free providers (Iconify, SVG Repo, OpenMoji) — no signup, no keys, no config.

With stock photos and logos (optional API keys):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "asset-finder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "asset-finder-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "PEXELS_API_KEY": "your-key",
        "UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEY": "your-key",
        "PIXABAY_API_KEY": "your-key",
        "LOGO_DEV_TOKEN": "your-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Install in Your Editor

Edit claude_desktop_config.json:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "asset-finder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "asset-finder-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Create .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "asset-finder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "asset-finder-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "asset-finder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "asset-finder-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Add to your MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "asset-finder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "asset-finder-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
git clone https://github.com/Erfangit23/asset-finder-mcp.git
cd asset-finder-mcp
npm install
npm run build
npm start

The suggest_asset Tool (The Killer Feature)

Instead of knowing which tool to call, just describe what you need:

"suggest_asset" with description: "modern minimalist icon for a settings menu, blue color"
→ searches Iconify + SVG Repo, returns ranked results

"suggest_asset" with description: "Stripe company logo"
→ searches Logo.dev, returns the Stripe logo

"suggest_asset" with description: "professional headshot photo for a team page"
→ searches Pexels + Unsplash + Pixabay, returns photos

"suggest_asset" with description: "cute cat emoji"
→ searches OpenMoji, returns matching emoji

The tool auto-detects the asset type from your description and searches the right providers.

Example: AI Agent Workflow

  1. You ask Cursor: "Build a settings page with a gear icon and a mountain background image"

  2. Cursor calls: suggest_asset("gear settings icon") → gets SVG icon URL

  3. Cursor calls: suggest_asset("mountain landscape background") → gets stock photo URL

  4. Cursor writes: The full HTML/CSS with real assets embedded — no placeholders

    A4.3/5.0

    Scored across 8 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: search_icons, search_logos, search_stock_photos, search_vectors, and search_emoji target different asset types, while list_providers, suggest_asset, and get_asset handle provider status, cross-source suggestions, and detail retrieval respectively. There is no overlap or ambiguity between any two tools.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (list_, search_, suggest_, get_), with logical and descriptive verbs. The naming is uniform and predictable across the entire set.

    Tool Count5/5

    With exactly 8 tools, the server is well-scoped for an asset finder, covering search for major asset types, provider status, suggestion, and detail retrieval without redundancy or excess. Each tool earns its place.

    Completeness5/5

    The tool set provides comprehensive coverage of the asset discovery workflow: listing available providers, searching all major asset types, retrieving detailed metadata, and even a cross-source natural language suggestion tool. There are no obvious missing operations.
