## Tools

7 declared. Statically extracted from the shipped source — a floor on the surface, not a census.
- `search_icons` — Search The Noun Project for icons. Returns IDs, style, license, thumbnails, tags, and attribution. This is a cheap *service* call — do NOT follow up with get_ic
- `get_icon` — Get extra details for one icon, including a temporary SVG icon_url (expires in 1 hour). This is an expensive *icon* call (FREE trial: 150/day and 150/month). Sk
- `download_icon` — Download one icon as SVG or PNG (optional color/size; FREE trial is public-domain only). This is an expensive *icon* call (150/day on the free trial). Use only 
- `search_collections` — Search Noun Project collections (icon sets). Service call — cheaper than get_icon/download_icon.
- `get_collection` — Get a collection and a page of its icons. Service call. Prefer this over calling get_icon on each member.
- `icon_autocomplete` — Autocomplete icon search terms (max 10). Cheap service call — use before searching if the query is ambiguous.
- `check_usage` — Show current API usage vs limits for hourly, daily, and monthly windows, split into service calls vs icon calls. Cached for 5 minutes.

## Install

**Verdict: install** — No blocking findings and no open coverage gaps — safe to install as configured.
**Config** (claude-code):
```json
"{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"noun\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\n        \"-y\",\n        \"@alisaitteke/noun-mcp\"\n      ],\n      \"env\": {\n        \"NOUN_CONSUMER_KEY\": \"<YOUR_NOUN_CONSUMER_KEY>\",\n        \"NOUN_CONSUMER_SECRET\": \"<YOUR_NOUN_CONSUMER_SECRET>\"\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}"
```
**Credentials it will ask for** (names only — Forge never holds a value):
- `NOUN_CONSUMER_KEY` — Noun Consumer Key (required)
- `NOUN_CONSUMER_SECRET` — Noun Consumer Secret (required)
Placeholders only. Forge never holds, brokers, or transmits a credential value — replace each <YOUR_NAME> in your own config file. Do not send a value back to Forge; no Forge endpoint accepts one.
- This entry needs 2 credentials (2 required). The generated config carries placeholders, so it will fail in the editor rather than at runtime if they are left unset.

## Blast radius

Moderate blast radius — holds an api key; runs on your machine.
- Floor 25, ceiling 25 (tier: moderate)
- This is impact, not likelihood. A high radius is not a defect: a filesystem server is supposed to write files. It is never part of the trust score.
