fuzzy_search_categories
Fuzzy Search for icon categories by category name
LABSCO SUMMARY
The icon-name guessing game collapses into one call.
The search tools exist because nobody remembers the exact Lucide name: the fuzzy pair takes your approximation, the partial-match pair takes a prefix, and the category tools give you a browsing route when you cannot describe it at all. list_all_categories returning counts is the small useful detail — it tells you which category is worth opening. get_icon_usage_examples finishes the job with the React snippet, so nothing sends you back to the gallery.
What it is
A lookup server over the Lucide icon set: icon and category search in both partial and fuzzy forms, plus React usage examples.
What you get
- Icon search by name or category with partial matching, and fuzzy_search_icons for when you are guessing at the spelling
- Category search in the same two forms, partial and fuzzy
- list_all_categories, which returns every category with its icon count
- Every icon inside one category through list_all_icons_by_category
- React usage examples for a named icon
Requirements
Nothing — no account, no key.
Setup effort
One command — npx lucide-icons-mcp --stdio
USE CASES
01
Finding an icon when you half remember the name
Partial matching handles the case where you are close; fuzzy matching handles the case where the set uses a different word entirely. Once one is settled on, the usage example gives the React import and element.
02
Choosing a consistent icon set for a new screen
Start from the categories and their icon counts rather than from individual names, narrow to the category that matches the screen, and read everything inside it so the icons chosen belong to one family.
