Using IconVectors with Claude

Claude Desktop and Claude Code can both launch the IconVectors MCP sidecar. Once connected, Claude operates on the live editor through the same document model and undo history as the desktop UI.

Current public setup note: the example paths below use the Windows 1.40 release. The macOS MCP package is being prepared.

1. Start IconVectors

& 'C:\Program Files\Axialis\IconVectors\IconVectors.exe'

Start the editor first. In the standard setup, Claude launches IconVectorsMcp.exe --port 61337.

2. Claude Desktop setup

Edit %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "iconvectors": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "C:\\Program Files\\Axialis\\IconVectors\\IconVectorsMcp.exe",
      "args": ["--port", "61337"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

3. Claude Code setup

claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope user iconvectors -- "C:\Program Files\Axialis\IconVectors\IconVectorsMcp.exe" --port 61337

Verify the registration with:

claude mcp list

4. Verify the connection

• Use IconVectors to call app.ping.
• Use IconVectors to call app.getInfo.
• Create a new 32x32 document named "test icon", draw a centered blue circle, then generate VectorDrawable code.

Helper files

If the helper bundle is installed, use Help -> Open MCP Files Folder and inspect %APPDATA%\Axialis\IconVectors\MCP\claude-implementation-instructions.md and claude-CLAUDE.md.template.
