Noun tools (7)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • check_usage

    Show current API usage vs limits for hourly, daily, and monthly windows, split into service calls vs icon calls. Cached for 5 minutes.

  • download_icon

    Download one icon as SVG or PNG (optional color/size; FREE trial is public-domain only). This is an expensive *icon* call (150/day on the free trial). Use only when the user asked to save or embed the file, not to inspect search results.

  • get_collection

    Get a collection and a page of its icons. Service call. Prefer this over calling get_icon on each member.

  • get_icon

    Get extra details for one icon, including a temporary SVG icon_url (expires in 1 hour). This is an expensive *icon* call (FREE trial: 150/day and 150/month). Skip it when search_icons already has the metadata you need.

  • icon_autocomplete

    Autocomplete icon search terms (max 10). Cheap service call — use before searching if the query is ambiguous.

  • search_collections

    Search Noun Project collections (icon sets). Service call — cheaper than get_icon/download_icon.

  • search_icons

    Search The Noun Project for icons. Returns IDs, style, license, thumbnails, tags, and attribution. This is a cheap *service* call — do NOT follow up with get_icon for every result. Use download_icon only when the user wants a file. Prefer a specific query over pagination (FREE trial: 2,000 service calls/month, 1,000/day).

What the publisher says

From the Noun repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

Noun MCP

Languages: English · 简体中文 · Español · Deutsch · 日本語 · Türkçe

Ask for icons in plain words. Describe what you need — "a solid coffee cup, public domain" — and your AI assistant searches The Noun Project, picks a match, and downloads SVG or PNG into your project. Works with Cursor, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code.

Note: This is an unofficial, community-maintained project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Noun Project.

What can it do?

  • Search — filter by style, line weight, and public-domain license
  • Download — SVG or PNG, custom color and size, saved to a path you choose
  • Browse collections — curated icon sets, not just one-off searches
  • Autocomplete — get better search terms before you burn quota
  • Track usage — hourly, daily, and monthly service vs icon windows
  • Stay on the free trial — client-side caps so 150 icon calls/month last longer

Under the hood: 7 tools — full list in docs/available-tools.md.

Try saying

Find solid public-domain coffee cup icons, then download one as a red SVG into ./icons.
Suggest search terms for "spo", then search weather collections.
How many Noun Project API calls have I used this month?
