Unicon

About

Unicon provides a streamlined solution for integrating icons into projects, much like Shadcn for UI components. It allows users to browse over 20,000 icons from multiple popular libraries in one centralized place, enabling them to copy only the essential assets in various formats such as React, SVG, or JSON. This approach eliminates the common issue of installing entire icon libraries for just a few icons, promoting a lightweight and efficient development workflow. The platform also offers advanced features like bundling multiple icons, a command-line interface, and direct integration with AI coding assistants via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
