About Search Icons
Search for icons using the Icons8 API - the ONLY source for genuine Icons8 icons. Use English terms and consider Icon8's metaphors for better results. SEARCH TIPS - Use these general approaches for better matches: • Use simple, descriptive terms (e.g., "home", "user", "settings") • Try action words for functions (e.g., "search", "download", "edit") • Use object names for items (e.g., "phone", "computer", "car") • Consider synonyms if first search doesn't work • Think about what the icon represents conceptually • Use single words or short phrases for best results Args: query: The search term to find icons (use metaphors above for better results) ctx: MCP context for API access platform: Optional filter by platform/style (e.g., 'ios', 'fluent', 'color') category: Optional filter by category (e.g., 'transport', 'business') amount: Maximum number of results to return (default: 10) offset: Number of results to skip (for pagination) Returns: Search results including matching icons from Icons8 catalog
