# Supericons v2.0

Semantic SVG icon search, previews, and recommendations for AI coding agents.

Supericons helps agents find icons by meaning, not only by file name. It searches 20,000+ free icons across 11 libraries and can return SVG code or a visual comparison.

## Release versions

Supericons uses separate versions for the product plugin and its MCP runtime:

| Component | Current release |
| --- | --- |
| Supericons plugin | `2.0.0` |
| npm MCP runtime | `@supericons/mcp@0.4.22` |
| Hosted MCP runtime | `0.4.22` |

The v2.0 plugin uses the current MCP runtime. There is no npm package named `@supericons/mcp@2.0.0`.

## Quick start

For clients that support remote MCP servers, use the hosted endpoint:

```text
https://mcp.supericons.dev/mcp
```

For clients that use local MCP commands, use:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "supericons": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@supericons/mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}
```

The free tools do not need a Supericons API key.

## Plugin files

This repository includes public plugin manifests for Codex, Claude Code, and compatible agent directories:

```text
.plugin/plugin.json
.codex-plugin/plugin.json
.claude-plugin/plugin.json
.agents/plugins/marketplace.json
```

The Codex plugin also uses:

```text
.codex-mcp.json
skills/supericons-icon-search/SKILL.md
```

## Manual setup fields

If your client shows a form instead of a config file, enter:

```text
Name: supericons
Transport: stdio
Command: npx
Arguments:
-y
@supericons/mcp@latest
```

If it has one argument field, enter:

```text
-y @supericons/mcp@latest
```

## Hosted tools

`search_icons`
: Search by meaning, label, visual description, tags, synonyms, and supported multilingual terms.

`recommend_icons`
: Recommend a consistent icon set for up to 20 named UI slots.

`get_icon`
: Retrieve one exact SVG icon when its icon ID and library are known.

`preview_icons`
: Compare search results or known icon references on a hosted preview page or image.

`list_libraries`
: List the 11 free icon libraries available through the hosted server.

## Example prompts

```text
Use Supericons to find a Lucide database icon. Show the icon id, library, and SVG.
```

```text
Use Supericons to recommend icons for an AI dashboard sidebar: model, prompt, dataset, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring. Prefer Lucide outline icons.
```

```text
Use Supericons to preview the strongest camera scan icons so I can compare them visually.
```

## Pro setup

For Pro access, add the API key as an environment variable:

```text
SUPERICONS_API_KEY=<YOUR_SUPERICONS_API_KEY>
```

Never paste an API key into a public issue, screenshot, committed config file, or shared chat.
