What the code does

We read the source, 8 h ago · tools taken from the live server · rules 995398eba69f

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Available tools 6

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

categories
list_categories
The library's categories with their ids and icon counts.
community
get_community_icon
A community icon (generated on the website, public and marked unreviewed): its label, the request it was made for, what its motion shows, the dotLottie file URL, its page and the descriptor the runtime takes.
guide
read_guide
A guide as Markdown: "using-packages" (Install and use the packages), "using-icons" (Use an icon file), "creating-icons" (Create an icon), "ai-operating-guide" (AI operating guide), "design-principles" (Drawing principles), "motion-principles" (Motion principles), "limitations" (Known limitations).
icon
get_icon
Everything needed to use one icon: its description, states, styles, weights, motions, the dotLottie file URL and hash, install commands, and JavaScript, React, iOS and Android snippets.
icons
search_icons
Find icons by name or meaning. Matches labels, search terms (synonyms, UI slang, abbreviations) and, through embeddings, plain-language needs; tolerates typos. Returns the best matches first.
request
request_icon
When search_icons finds nothing that fits: a link where a person signed in with LottieFiles generates the icon on the website, in the family's style, in about three minutes. Give the link to the person you are helping; the icon then appears in search_icons as a community icon. Nothing is generated by this call.

Generative Icons — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Generative Icons do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_community_icon, get_icon, list_categories, read_guide, request_icon, 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 Generative Icons 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 116 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Generative Icons?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Generative Icons need an API key?
No. Generative Icons completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Generative Icons?
It answers our handshake in 116 ms on average, which is faster than 90% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Generative Icons open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at generativeicons.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
