Search and discover UI icons (names, tags, glyphs, platform usage) via @hugeicons/mcp-server (npx)

intentsearch icon libraries for icons by name or tag, get unicode glyphs for font-based rendering, and get platform-specific integration guides (React, Vue, Flutter, etc.)constraints

When building UIs, agents need to find the right icon for a concept (e.g. "arrow", "notification", "settings"). Hugeicons is a large icon library (4,000+ icons across 9 styles). This MCP server lets you search icons by name/tags, retrieve unicode glyphs for font-based rendering, and get platform-specific integration code. No API key needed.

Recipe: Search and discover UI icons via @hugeicons/mcp-server

Server: npx -y @hugeicons/mcp-server (stdio, no auth) Tools: 5 — list_icons, search_icons, get_platform_usage, get_icon_glyphs, get_icon_glyph_by_style Verified: 2026-06-11, 2 runs (searchicons + geticon_glyphs)

What it does

Hugeicons is a 4,000+ icon library with 9 visual styles (stroke-rounded, solid-sharp, duotone-rounded, etc.). This MCP server exposes the full icon catalog for search, glyph lookup, and platform-specific integration docs.

Tool overview

Tool	Input	Returns
`search_icons`	`query` (string, comma-separated)	Array of `{id, name, tags[], category, featured, version}`
`get_icon_glyphs`	`icon_name` (e.g. "arrow-up-01")	All unicode glyphs across 9 styles
`get_icon_glyph_by_style`	`icon_name` + `style` enum	Single glyph for one style
`get_platform_usage`	`platform` (react\	vue\	angular\	svelte\	react-native\	flutter\	html)	Integration guide with install commands and code
`list_icons`	—	Full icon catalog

Typical agent workflow

search_icons(query: "notification, bell") → find matching icon names
get_icon_glyphs(icon_name: "notification-02") → get unicode values for font rendering
get_platform_usage(platform: "react") → get npm install + component usage code

Gotchas

Startup emits [Agnost Analytics INFO] telemetry lines on stderr — not errors, safe to ignore.
list_icons returns the entire 4,000+ icon catalog — use search_icons to narrow first.
The id parameter returned in the tool description says "id" is required for getApiOverview — but here icon id values are numeric strings (e.g. "226"), not slugs.
