Available tools 5

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

icon
get_icon
Retrieve one exact SVG icon using an exact ref returned by search_icons, recommend_icons, or preview_icons. Do not guess icon IDs. Use search_icons first if the user only described a concept. Returns SVG code, explicit public library labels, visual preview URL, and public semantic guidance for the exact icon.
icons
search_icons
Use this as the main icon tool. Search 20,000+ curated SVG icons across 11 libraries by meaning, label, visual description, tags, and synonyms. When matches exist, the response includes a paste-ready suggested answer, a direct preview image, and Markdown that can show the image in the final reply. When no supported match exists, it returns an honest structured no-result with a next step and no fabricated icon. If you choose a library yourself, use prefer. Use strict only when the user explicitly requires that library. Library key si means Supericons, not Simple Icons.
libraries
list_libraries
List the free icon libraries available through the hosted Supericons MCP server. Use this before filtering by library or when a user asks which icon libraries are supported.
preview
preview_icons
Refine an icon result set or preview known icon refs returned by another Supericons tool. Use search_icons first for normal icon requests. Long icon lists are accepted and safely truncated to 12. Returns ready-to-use Markdown, a hosted preview fallback, a direct PNG image URL, and, when requested, an MCP image contact sheet.
recommend
recommend_icons
Recommend a coherent icon set for up to 20 named UI slots in one call. Uses task context to narrow ambiguous meanings. When context is insufficient, returns needs_clarification with labeled interpretation options instead of guessing. Invalid inputs and service failures return a plain-language reason and a next step instead of a bare protocol error. Returns one recommendation and optional alternatives for each resolved slot, with explicit public library labels and visual preview URLs where available. Library key si means Supericons, not Simple Icons.

Supericons — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Supericons do?
It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_icon, list_libraries, preview_icons, recommend_icons, search_icons. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Supericons working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 392 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Supericons?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Supericons need an API key?
No. Supericons completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Supericons?
It answers our handshake in 392 ms on average, which is faster than 35% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Supericons?
The npm package @supericons/mcp was installed 733 times in the last week. Week over week that is -13%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Supericons open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
