Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Lets AI coding assistants search the icon packages actually installed in your project.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Search & AI memory

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: TRUEICON_PROJECT_DIR, TRUEICON_CACHE

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trueicon": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "trueicon"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TRUEICON_PROJECT_DIR": "your-value",
        "TRUEICON_CACHE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add trueicon --env TRUEICON_PROJECT_DIR=your-value --env TRUEICON_CACHE=your-value -- npx -y trueicon

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trueicon": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "trueicon"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TRUEICON_PROJECT_DIR": "your-value",
        "TRUEICON_CACHE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "trueicon": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "trueicon"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TRUEICON_PROJECT_DIR": "your-value",
        "TRUEICON_CACHE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • TRUEICON_PROJECT_DIR env
    Absolute path to the project whose icon packages to search. Defaults to the working directory.
  • TRUEICON_CACHE env
    Directory for the downloaded icon package cache. Defaults to ~/.trueicon/cache.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is TrueIcon 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 (0.6.0) reached the registry 37 days 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?

TrueIcon

TrueIcon is an MCP server that gives AI coding assistants exact, version-correct icon references. Your assistant searches the icon packages your project actually uses (lucide-react, react-icons, @heroicons/react, @phosphor-icons/react, @tabler/icons-react, iconoir-react, @fluentui/react-icons, @carbon/icons-react, @ant-design/icons, @mui/icons-material, @radix-ui/react-icons, @remixicon/react, the Font Awesome Free packages, and the Vue and Svelte packages of Lucide, Heroicons, Tabler and Phosphor) and gets back real icon names, import paths and a ready-to-paste import line.

Why

AI assistants often guess icon names. The guess can be an icon that never existed, one renamed a few releases ago, or one from a different library, and you only find out when the build fails. TrueIcon closes that gap:

  • It reads which icon packages and versions your project uses.
  • It downloads those exact versions from npm and indexes every icon once.
  • The assistant calls search_icons and gets results that are guaranteed to exist in that version, for example import { Trash2 } from 'lucide-react';.

Supported providers

Provider idnpm packageIcon naming
lucidelucide-reactLucide's file names, e.g. trash-2 → Trash2
heroicons@heroicons/react - - , e.g. trash-24-outline → TrashIcon
react-iconsreact-icons - , e.g. fa6-beer-mug-empty → FaBeerMugEmpty
phosphor@phosphor-icons/react for the regular weight, - otherwise, e.g. trash-bold → TrashIcon with weight="bold"
tabler@tabler/icons-reactTabler's icon names, e.g. trash → IconTrash, trash-filled → IconTrashFilled
iconoiriconoir-react for regular, -solid for solid, e.g. trash-solid → TrashSolid
fluentui@fluentui/react-icons - with style regular, filled or color, e.g. delete-regular → DeleteRegular. Only the scalable (1em) icons are indexed, not the size-specific variants
carbon@carbon/icons-reactCarbon's export names in kebab case, e.g. trash-can → TrashCan. Variants add -filled, -alt or -color, e.g. accessibility-filled → AccessibilityFilled
antdesign@ant-design/icons - with theme outlined, filled or two-tone, e.g. delete-outlined → DeleteOutlined
mui@mui/icons-materialMUI's export names in kebab case, e.g. delete → Delete. Themes add -outlined, -rounded, -sharp or -two-tone, e.g. delete-outlined → DeleteOutlined; base icons have the style filled
radix@radix-ui/react-iconsRadix's icon names, e.g. trash → TrashIcon, github-logo → GitHubLogoIcon
remix@remixicon/reactRemix's icon names with the -line or -fill style, e.g. delete-bin-line → RiDeleteBinLine
fontawesome-solid@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-iconsFont Awesome's icon names, e.g. trash-can → faTrashCan. Old names still resolve: get_icon finds trash-alt or faTrashAlt as faTrashCan, and faSearch as faMagnifyingGlass
fontawesome-regular@fortawesome/free-regular-svg-iconsSame as fontawesome-solid, e.g. star → faStar
fontawesome-brands@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-iconsSame as fontawesome-solid, e.g. github → faGithub
Vue and Svelte

These index the same artwork as the React packages above, with each package's own component names and import paths.

Provider idnpm packageIcon naming
lucide-vue@lucide/vueSame as lucide, e.g. trash → Trash
lucide-vue-nextlucide-vue-nextSame as lucide. Deprecated upstream in favor of @lucide/vue, still widely used
lucide-svelte5@lucide/svelteSame as lucide (Svelte 5)
lucide-sveltelucide-svelteSame as lucide. Deprecated upstream in favor of @lucide/svelte
heroicons-vue@heroicons/vueSame as heroicons, e.g. trash-24-outline → TrashIcon from @heroicons/vue/24/outline
tabler-vue@tabler/icons-vueSame as tabler, e.g. trash → IconTrash
tabler-svelte@tabler/icons-svelteSame as tabler
phosphor-vue@phosphor-icons/vueSame as phosphor, e.g. trash-bold → PhTrash with weight="bold"
phosphor-sveltephosphor-svelteSame as phosphor, e.g. trash-bold → TrashIcon with weight="bold"

Heroicons has no official Svelte package. Angular packages aren't supported yet.

Tools accept either the provider id or the npm package name ("lucide" or "lucide-react"). Usage snippets are import lines, which work the same way in React, Vue and Svelte. Phosphor weights all share one component, so pass the record's style as the weight prop (e.g. ); the usage snippet only shows the import. Font Awesome imports are icon definitions, not components: render them with @fortawesome/react-fontawesome, e.g. .

Install

TrueIcon needs Node.js 20 or newer.

# Run without installing (this is what the MCP configs below do)

npx -y trueicon

Or install globally and run the trueicon binary

npm i -g trueicon trueicon

trueicon is a stdio MCP server. Your MCP client starts it; running it by hand only prints trueicon: v running on stdio to stderr and waits for JSON-RPC on stdin.

Quick start

  1. Register TrueIcon with your MCP client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or VS Code and Cursor).
  2. Ask your assistant for an icon.

That's it for most projects. TrueIcon finds the icon packages your package.json lists and the versions installed in node_modules. The first search for each package downloads and indexes it, which takes a few seconds. Later searches use the local cache.

Configuration

Which icon packages are searched
  • By default, every supported package listed in dependencies or devDependencies of your package.json.
  • With `.iconmcp.json` in the project, exactly the packages it lists. Use it to search only some of your icon packages, to add one your package.json doesn't list (for example one that comes in through a UI kit), or to pin a version.
{

"providers": [ { "package": "lucide-react" }, { "package": "react-icons", "version": "5.3.0" }, { "package": "@heroicons/react", "version": "^2.1.0" } ] }

FieldTypeRequiredMeaning
providersarrayyesIcon packages to search. When it lists any, package.json is not used to pick packages.
providers[].packagestringyesnpm package name of a supported provider, e.g. lucide-react, @lucide/vue or @tabler/icons-svelte (see Supported providers).
providers[].versionstringnoExact version or npm range. Overrides the installed version (see Versions).
semanticboolnoOpt-in semantic search (default false). See below.
  • Unsupported packages in .iconmcp.json are skipped, and search_icons reports them as a warning.
  • Invalid JSON or a malformed entry makes the tools return an error that names the file and the bad field.
  • If neither file names a supported package, search_icons returns an error that says which directory it looked in. You can still pass provider to a tool call.
Semantic search (opt-in)

Set "semantic": true in .iconmcp.json to add meaning-based ranking to search_icons. Each query is embedded with a small local model (all-MiniLM-L6-v2, ~90MB downloaded once to the transformers.js cache) and matched against per-icon vectors built at index time; those semantic candidates are merged with the keyword results using reciprocal rank fusion, so exact-name matches still win while conceptual queries like "remove background" can surface eraser.

{

"providers": [{ "package": "lucide-react" }], "semantic": true }

Semantic search runs on @huggingface/transformers, which is an optional peer dependency and is not installed by default, so installs that never enable the flag stay lean. To enable semantic search, install it once (about 400MB) alongside trueicon:

npm install @huggingface/transformers

If the flag is on but the package is missing, search_icons and get_icon fall back to keyword-only indexes and return a one-line warning with the install command.

Toggling the flag rebuilds the indexes once (vectors are stored in index.json alongside each record, and meta.json records the embedding model). It stays fully local: no data leaves your machine. TRUEICON_SEMANTIC=1 (or 0) overrides the flag for one-off runs.

Which directory is the project

TrueIcon reads package.json, .iconmcp.json and node_modules from the project directory. It picks the first of:

  1. $TRUEICON_PROJECT_DIR, when set.
  2. A folder your MCP client shares with the server (MCP roots) that contains a package.json or .iconmcp.json. Clients that support roots, like VS Code, tell TrueIcon which folders you're working in, so it follows your o
