An MCP server helps Claude Code and Cursor find icons
A Reddit user introduced an MCP server that lets Claude Code and Cursor search icons in real time. The tool can search more than 100 open-source icon libraries, including Lucide, Heroicons, Tabler, and Font Awesome. The author says it aims to reduce cases where AI coding tools guess the wrong icon name or use a component that does not exist. They also say it needs no API key and does not run locally.
