Hey hunters! πŸ‘‹

We got tired of the same boring dance: code something cool β†’ realize it needs icons β†’ open 47 browser tabs β†’ find matching icons β†’ download β†’ import β†’ repeat.

So we built Icons8 MCP server.

Now you just tell Claude Code (or whatever vibe-coding tool you use) "make all icons trendy and outlined" or "add cute food icons to this menu" and boom – it grabs icons from our library of 116 styles and does it.

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code and other coding tools that support MCP. Takes 2 minutes to set up.

PNG icons are free. SVG costs $15 (we need to pay our developers and buy coffee sometimes β˜•).

We've been making icons for 13 years. Now we're making them stupid-easy to use in the AI coding era.

Share your thoughts in the comments, thank you.

@mattisssa thank you!

This MCP is bringing us closer to the future - where I just sit with a whiskey and tell (out loud) my agent+MCP squad what to do, how to style, where to get creative, etc. And in an hour I've got a beautiful designer micro-SaaS.

Ivan Braun

@danilov_den whoa, that's the vibe.

Congratulations to the Icons8 team on the MCP Server launch. The extensive, well-organized icon packs are invaluable for developers. Does the server support batch downloads? How is icon licensing managed?

Paul Malaj

@techacc All PNG icons downloaded through MCP are free to use if you provide a link back to us. However, it’s always best to check our license here: https://icons8.com/license.

As for batch downloads, this is exactly the feature we are actively working on right now. We want to make it truly powerful, so instead of returning icons one by one, MCP client will be able to send complex queries like "icons for a property management app" and get a list of relevant icons in one go.

let's goooo boys, love it! Question: do you have popular brand logos too in the db?

Ilnur Kalimullin

@oleg_sobolev thanks!! Sure! We have all kinds of logos: social media, big tech, open source projects etc.

Ivan Braun

@oleg_sobolev yeah, and you may vibe code using prompts like "add german car logos", "add social media icons to the footer" or "from what you know about me, design a page with 5 brands that would make me happier and 5 that won't"

Launching soon!

It helps me to quickly find the icons I want without switching between different platforms. A great tool from a great team. :)

Ilnur Kalimullin

@pulin_yuuu great to hear that our MCP is already helping someone! Super interesting to know what projects you're using it for

Paul Malaj

I’m honestly blown away by how simply connecting the icons8-mcp server instantly gives any website a facelift. It’s crazy how much better things look with zero hassle!

Eugene Vysotsky

πŸ”₯ Great tool! Saves tons of time searching for icons β€” just type what you need and get the right style instantly. Fast, convenient, and AI-friendly. Thanks, Icons8!

Michal Malewicz

Always great to see the icons8 team coming up with new stuff! :)

Ilnur Kalimullin

@michalmalewicz hey Michal! Thanks for being so supportive of us. You are truly our hero 🫢

Ivan Braun

@michalmalewicz Thank you buddy. And I'm always happy to see you wherever something is happening, one of the first. Your level of self-organization is a wonder.

I’ve been using Icons8 MCP Server with Claude Code for a couple of weeks, and it’s a game-changer for rapid prototyping. Having instant access to such a massive icon library really speeds up my workflow, especially when collaborating with teammates who need specific styles or themes on the fly. The AI integration is super handyβ€”just telling it to swap out icon colors or add new categories saves so much time. Highly recommend this for developers and designers working on dynamic UI projects or hackathons!

Ilnur Kalimullin

@joey_zhu1 wow! Thanks for the detailed comment! It's really great to hear that our MCP is already changing someone's workflow πŸ€—

Jharkhandi chora

how does the style matching work when there are mixed design systems already in place? For example, I use some custom SVGs in certain components β€” will it still recommend icons in line with that or override them?

Ilnur Kalimullin

@jharkhandi_chora1 I think it really depends on how the LLM interprets your existing design system.

I just tested this with Cursor + Claude 4 Sonnet – it analyzed my site, saw I was using colored icons, and automatically picked matching colored icons from MCP to complement what I already had:

So the AI seems pretty smart about maintaining visual consistency when it has the context!

Ivan Braun

@jharkhandi_chora1 it does sometimes; you can get a toolbar with 9 icons of one stroke width and 1 thicker. To keep it conistent, I add the guidelines to claude.md (use icons8 mcp, windows 11 outline style, svg). And sometimes in the prompts too, to be safe.

Finally makes icon sourcing feel less like a chore!

Ilnur Kalimullin

@eriott exactly!!

Alex C.

Drop the perfect icon into your code with one prompt. No searching, just type and go.

Tino Zhabinskiy

Congrats! Love to see it. Are you planning to add illustrations later?

Ilnur Kalimullin

@zzzhabinskiy thanks man! Yup, that's the plan 🫑

AQIB

Finally, no more icon mess. Great job team!

Ivan Braun

@m_aqib1 dealing with icon mess since 2012 (before that we embraced it).

Aleksandr S

Wow, this is amazing! The icon sets are huge and so versatile. I can't wait to try customizing them with AI. Thank you for this amazing resource!

Ilnur Kalimullin

@aleks_smet Thanks! Please share what you create – we'd love to see it

Dmitry Zubanov

Finding the right icon shouldn’t slow you down. With Icons8 MCP Server, simply describe the icon you want, and it appears directly in your code editor β€” no extra clicks, no switching apps. It integrates seamlessly with tools like VS Code and supports thousands of icons in a variety of styles.

Whether you need quick PNGs or scalable SVGs, this tool helps you keep your focus on coding instead of hunting for assets. It’s a smart, time-saving assistant for developers and designers alike.

Launching soon!

Very useful, thanks for sharing

Anastasia Dzebisova

Wow, I love it! πŸš€ Great team work! πŸ‘

Alexander Ulitin

Oh yes. Everyone who has APIs should add MCPs

Ivan Braun

@ulitiy exactly! and more. Local mcp (from the locally running app) is fun to work too, blazing fast. We're on it.
