How It Works

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants access external tools and data sources. The GetIllustrations MCP server connects your AI assistant directly to our full library of illustrations and icons.

Once configured, you can search for illustrations, browse packs by style or category, check licensing details, and discover assets — all through natural conversation with your AI tool. No manual browsing required.

Add the following JSON to your AI client's configuration file.

Works With Any MCP-Compatible Tool

The MCP standard is supported by a growing number of AI tools. If your tool supports MCP, it can connect to GetIllustrations. Here are some popular options beyond Claude and Cursor:

Windsurf (Codeium)

Add the same JSON config to your Windsurf MCP settings. Windsurf supports MCP natively for AI-assisted coding with illustration assets.

Cline / Continue.dev

Both Cline and Continue support MCP servers. Add the config to your VS Code extension settings to search illustrations while coding.

Custom Agents (Python / Node.js)

Build your own AI agent that uses GetIllustrations. Use the Anthropic SDK or OpenAI SDK with MCP tool calling to connect any LLM to our library.

What You Can Do

Find the Right Illustration

"Find me flat-style illustrations about teamwork and collaboration for a SaaS landing page."

Discover by Style
