Free MCP server that will save you 3 hours of icon hunting every day

We got tired of the same boring dance every developer knows by heart:

code something cool → realize it needs icons → open 47 browser tabs → hunt for matching styles → download → import → repeat until your soul leaves your body

So we built the Icons8 MCP server. Now you just tell your vibe coding tools what you want, and boom—icons appear.

Icons8 MCP: natural language icon requests

An MCP server that connects to your vibe coding tools and lets you request icons using actual human language.

What MCP brings to your IDE:

• Direct access to huge icon packs (up to 40,000 icons per pack)
• Icons for practically any use case you can imagine
• Natural language requests that understand the project context
• Consistent styling across your entire project
• No more context switching to hunt for assets

Icons8 MCP server interprets these requests and delivers icons that actually work together.

Pricing that makes sense

• PNG icons: Free for prototyping and testing
• SVG icons: $15 subscription for production-ready vectors.

That’s less than most developers spend on coffee in a week, for access to massive icon packs with up to 40,000 icons each.

How to set up Icons8 MCP server

Step 1: Set up your client

Start for free with PNGs or get an API key here if you want vector SVG icons.

Step 2: Start requesting icons

Tell your AI coding tool what you need:

• “Replace all these placeholder icons with professional business icons”
• “Add social media icons that match the minimalist vibe”
• “Give me arrow icons, but make them feel modern and clean”

Pro tips:

• Be specific about style (“minimal,” “outlined,” “filled”)
• Mention context (“for a restaurant app,” “professional dashboard”)

Stop icon hunting—start building

Vibe coding tools should eliminate friction between ideas and implementation. Icons8 MCP server extends that to visual design—instead of hunting for assets, icons become part of your natural development vocabulary.

We’ve been making icons for 15 years. Now we’re making them stupid-easy to use in the AI coder era. Because your creative flow shouldn’t die every time you need a decent icon.
