IconScout MCP Server: FAQ

Do I need an IconScout account to use the MCP server? Yes. Free assets don't require a paid plan, but premium assets need an active IconScout subscription.

Which asset types are supported? Icons, Illustrations, 3D Icons, and Lottie Animations — the full IconScout library, not a subset.

Can I use this with any AI tool? Any MCP-compatible client works, including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, and Codex, plus other MCP clients. The endpoint is https://mcp.iconscout.com/mcp over streamable HTTP.

Do I need an API key? No. You sign in with your IconScout account the first time you connect — there's no separate key to generate or paste into a config file.

How does sign-in work? Through standard OAuth. The first time you connect, your AI tool opens IconScout in your browser so you can sign in and approve access. The server never sees or stores your password or an API key. You can disconnect it anytime from your AI tool.

Is there a rate limit? Yes — your usual IconScout account limits apply. If you hit one, you'll get a clear message telling you when to try again.

Is my IconScout account safe to connect? The connection is read-and-download only against your own account, authorized by you, and you can disconnect it anytime from your AI tool.

Is my data used for training? No. The server is a transport layer only. How your conversations are handled is governed by your AI provider's terms, not IconScout's.

Is it free or paid? The server itself is free on every IconScout plan, and it gives your assistant exactly the access your account already has. It isn't an upgrade path — MCP doesn't add any permissions beyond what your plan already includes.
