What are the system requirements to use SF Symbols MCP?

It requires macOS 14+, Xcode or Command Line Tools for Swift, and Python 3.13+ with `uv`. SF Symbols are included with macOS.

Can I use SF Symbols MCP without an AI agent?

Yes, it provides a Swift command-line interface (CLI) that allows direct searching, exporting, and retrieving symbol information for developers.

What is SF Symbols MCP?

SF Symbols MCP is an MCP server designed for developers and AI agents to search, retrieve metadata, and export Apple SF Symbols as true vector SVGs directly from macOS.

How does it export true vector SVGs?

It utilizes Apple's private CoreUI framework to extract actual CGPath bezier data from the system's SFSymbols asset catalog, ensuring real vector paths, not rasterized images.

What customization options are available for SVG export?

You can customize the symbol's `weight` (e.g., regular, bold, heavy) and `size` (point size) when exporting it as an SVG.
