MCP SVG to Font is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that converts SVG icons into multiple font formats (TTF, WOFF, WOFF2) and generates CSS and TypeScript definitions. It is designed for developers and AI agents who need to create, extend, or manage icon fonts while preserving backward compatibility.

How to use MCP SVG to Font?

Use the tools list-svgs, generate-font-from-svgs, extend-existing-font, or extend-font-advanced to scan directories, create fonts, or extend existing ones.

FAQ from MCP SVG to Font

What font formats does MCP SVG to Font generate?

It can generate TTF, WOFF, and WOFF2 font files.

What are the prerequisites to run MCP SVG to Font?

Node.js version 20.x or later and pnpm version 10.x or later are required.

How does extend-font-advanced differ from extend-existing-font?

extend-existing-font requires the original SVG files, while extend-font-advanced extracts glyphs directly from the TTF file, meaning original SVGs are not needed.

Does extending a font break existing projects?

No, both extension methods guarantee 100% backward compatibility—existing icons keep their Unicode values, so existing code continues to work without changes.

What transport does MCP SVG to Font use for communication?

It is configured via MCP client settings using a command and args, running as a subprocess (standard stdio-based MCP transport).
