icon-mcp

Offline MCP server providing searchable, parametric Lucide icons for AI assistants

MCP server providing searchable, parametric Lucide icon sets for AI assistants.

Motivation

AI assistants often fall back to emojis when a UI needs an icon, and creating a consistent set of icons requires design effort. This server lets assistants search a bundled Lucide collection, restyle icons, and export them offline, removing the need for external APIs or design work.

Installation

pip install icon-mcp

or with uvx:

uvx icon-mcp

From source:

git clone https://github.com/pratham-jain33/icon-mcp
cd icon-mcp
python -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -e .

Usage

Start the MCP server:

icon-mcp

The server registers two tools:

• search_icons – find icon names by keyword.

• generate_icons – render one or many icons with shared stroke_width, color, and size.

Example Claude Desktop configuration (JSON):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "icon-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["icon-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

After restarting the assistant, you can ask for icons, e.g.,

"Find me a settings icon and a trash icon, both 1.5px stroke in #2f6bff at 32px, as SVGs." The assistant will call search_icons or generate_icons and receive styled SVG markup.

After restarting the assistant, you can request icons such as:

Find me a settings icon and a trash icon, both 1.5px stroke in #2f6bff at 32px, as SVGs.

The assistant will call generate_icons and receive a JSON response containing the styled SVG markup for each icon.
