Why we included this project
Anyone who has used an AI coding agent for frontend work has seen it fumble icon names or emit SVG that doesn't render. Better Icons gives the agent a real lookup path: a searchable index of 200,000+ icons from 150+ collections, so it pulls the correct glyph instead of guessing. It works as an MCP server for Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, and VS Code Copilot, and there is also a plain CLI if you just want to grab icons from the terminal. The project sync feature is the part that stands out: icons get written straight into your project's icon file in React, Vue, Svelte, or Solid, which keeps SVG blobs out of the chat and cuts token usage. It also remembers which collections you favor and can find the same icon across different sets, which helps keep a consistent style across a codebase. For teams doing agent-assisted UI work, this removes a small but constant source of friction.
