## What it is
A TypeScript CLI tool and MCP server that lets users and AI agents search and retrieve over 200,000 icons from 150+ Iconify-powered collections. It can write icons directly into project files and supports React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, and raw SVG output.

## Use cases
- find an icon for a button in my react app
- search icons across multiple icon libraries from the terminal
- let my AI coding agent fetch correct SVG icons
- get an icon as svg with custom color and size
- find similar icons across different icon collections
- stop llms from generating broken inline svg icons

## When to choose
- you need to search or fetch icons from many collections in one place
- you use AI coding agents like Cursor or Claude Code and want reliable icon retrieval via MCP
- you want icons written directly to project files instead of pasting SVG into chat

## When to avoid
- you only need a handful of icons and can copy them manually
- you need a full icon design or editing tool
- your project does not use Node.js or npm-compatible tooling
