Dashboard Icons: MCP tool for Hermes Agent

Dashboard Icons

homarr-labs/dashboard-icons

Curated icon and logo collection for dashboards, with an MCP server that agents including Hermes can use

In short

Dashboard Icons is a collection of more than 3,400 curated icons and logos for dashboards and app directories, served from a free CDN. It also offers an MCP server so agents such as Hermes can find an icon and its CDN link.

What Dashboard Icons does

The collection provides icons for services and tools in SVG, PNG and WEBP, with light and dark variants and a consistent visual style. You can browse and download from dashboardicons.com, or link to files through the CDN.

The MCP server at https://dashboardicons.com/api/mcp is free and needs no API key. An agent can match every service in a docker-compose.yml or dashboard config to an icon in one call, get CDN links in each format, search the selfh.st, LobeHub and Simple Icons catalogs with their licenses, and submit a missing icon after sign-in.

The README lists setup for Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code, and names Hermes and OpenClaw among supported agents. The opening part of the README cuts off before showing the Hermes setup row.
