get_icon_detail_by_prefix_and_name
get icon detail by prefix and svg name
LABSCO SUMMARY
get_icons_by_desc_and_prefix is the reason to install this: describe the icon you want inside one icon set, instead of scrolling a gallery to recognise it.
The tool names lay out the flow — get_icon_repos to learn which sets exist, a desc search inside a prefix to shortlist, then get_icon_detail_by_prefix_and_name for the SVG. Which icon sets are indexed is something get_icon_repos answers at runtime, which makes it the first call worth making rather than an optional one.
What it is
An icon lookup server with 3 tools: one that lists the icon repository names available, one that finds icons by description inside a named prefix such as ant-design, and one that returns the SVG detail for a chosen icon.
What you get
- The set of icon repositories it can draw from: get_icon_repos returns the repository names, which are the values a prefix takes.
- Search by description instead of by icon name: get_icons_by_desc_and_prefix takes a desc and a prefix and returns the icons that match inside that one set.
- The SVG itself: get_icon_detail_by_prefix_and_name takes a prefix and an svg_name, alongside an svg_list argument.
Requirements
A value for PREFIX; get_icon_repos returns the repository names it can be set from.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y pickapicon-mcp@latest
USE CASES
01
Finding an icon when you can describe it but not name it
Check which icon sets are available, then search inside one by description rather than guessing at the icon's name.
02
Pulling the SVG for an icon you have settled on
Narrow to the icon by description inside its set, then take its detail by prefix and svg name.
3 tools
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
get_icon_repos
get all icon repo NAME
get_icons_by_desc_and_prefix
get icons by desc and prefix (LIKE AS ant-design)

}PREFIX is optional: it sets the default icon set (for example ant-design) that both tools use when a call gives no prefix. To set it, add "env": {"PREFIX": "ant-design"} to this entry.
