MCP support
It exposes icon search, recommendation, retrieval, preview, and library-listing tools to MCP clients. Clients can connect to the hosted endpoint or run the npm MCP runtime locally.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMESupericons 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/[email protected] |
| Hosted MCP runtime | 0.4.22 |
The v2.0 plugin uses the current MCP runtime. There is no npm package named @supericons/[email protected].

}
The free tools do not need a Supericons API key.

Comments
New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
