Version 1.40 for macOS — Public MCP Release
Axialis IconVectors 1.40 is now available on macOS with the same public MCP workflow already shipped on Windows on March 11, 2026. Compatible AI clients can connect to the running editor through the local Model Context Protocol helper, inspect documents, create and edit SVG vector icons, apply palette operations, render previews, and export code or files from the live application.
On macOS, the MCP helper is embedded inside the application bundle as /Applications/IconVectors.app/Contents/MacOS/IconVectorsMcp. The setup tutorials for Codex CLI, Claude, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, and Cursor now include both Windows and macOS configurations.
Update to version 1.40 on macOS
- Download the latest DMG from the Download page if you are installing IconVectors for the first time on macOS.
- If you already have IconVectors installed, choose Help -> Check for Updates and follow the prompts.
- After updating, use Help -> Open MCP Files Folder to access the helper files and setup snippets that ship with the MCP workflow.
What's new in 1.40
- MCP Capabilities on macOS — IconVectors now exposes the running editor through a local MCP server on macOS so AI clients can inspect, create, edit, recolor, render, and export icons from the live document.
- Cross-platform AI setup tutorials — The published guides for Codex CLI, Claude, VS Code Copilot, and Cursor now document both the Windows sidecar executable and the macOS helper embedded in the app bundle.
- Expanded export automation — MCP workflows cover SVG, Minified SVG, SVG Symbol, XAML, WPF Geometry, VectorDrawable, SwiftUI, ReactTS, VueTS, C++, and bitmap export from the same source drawing.
- Helper-file access — Use Help -> Open MCP Files Folder to open the installed MCP helper bundle directly.
- Bug fixes — Path editing, centering, Focus Mode, and licensing edge cases were corrected alongside the public MCP rollout.
