Common questions

Is Noun MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: NOUN_CONSUMER_KEY, NOUN_CONSUMER_SECRET, NOUN_API_TIER

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.6) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Noun MCP

Languages: English · 简体中文 · Español · Deutsch · 日本語 · Türkçe

Ask for icons in plain words. Describe what you need — "a solid coffee cup, public domain" — and your AI assistant searches The Noun Project, picks a match, and downloads SVG or PNG into your project. Works with Cursor, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code.

Note: This is an unofficial, community-maintained project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Noun Project.

What can it do?

Search — filter by style, line weight, and public-domain license
Download — SVG or PNG, custom color and size, saved to a path you choose
Browse collections — curated icon sets, not just one-off searches
Autocomplete — get better search terms before you burn quota
Track usage — hourly, daily, and monthly service vs icon windows
Stay on the free trial — client-side caps so 150 icon calls/month last longer

Under the hood: 7 tools — full list in docs/available-tools.md.

Try saying

Find solid public-domain coffee cup icons, then download one as a red SVG into ./icons.

Suggest search terms for "spo", then search weather collections.

How many Noun Project API calls have I used this month?

Get started

You need Node.js 18+ and Noun Project API keys (create an app — a free account works). Set NOUN_API_TIER to FREE (2,000 service / 150 icon calls per month) or PAID. Quota details: docs/available-tools.md.

Replace your_key / your_secret with your Consumer Key and Secret after install.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add \

--transport stdio \ noun-project \ --env NOUN_CONSUMER_KEY=your_key \ --env NOUN_CONSUMER_SECRET=your_secret \ --env NOUN_API_TIER=FREE \ -- npx -y @alisaitteke/noun-mcp

Or add this to your MCP client's config (Cursor, Claude Desktop, …):

"mcpServers": { "noun-project": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@alisaitteke/noun-mcp"], "env": { "NOUN_CONSUMER_KEY": "your_key", "NOUN_CONSUMER_SECRET": "your_secret", "NOUN_API_TIER": "FREE" } } } }

Ready-made files: examples/cursor-config.json, examples/claude-desktop-config.json.

How it works

You type what you want in plain language.
The AI searches first — search_icons is a cheap service call and already returns IDs, license, and thumbnails.
Download only when you need a file — each download_icon / get_icon spends an icon call.

Hit a quota error? Ask for check_usage, then wait or refine. Common fixes: docs/troubleshooting.md.

Documentation

Available tools — all 7 tools, parameters, FREE vs PAID
Troubleshooting — keys, 429s, public-domain downloads
Architecture — OAuth, queue, retry, cache
Development — build from source, tests
