Iconik Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the Iconik media asset management API. This enables AI assistants like Claude to interact with your Iconik media library.

Features

• 143 MCP Tools - Comprehensive coverage of the Iconik API
• Multi-Profile Support - Manage multiple Iconik domains/accounts
• Standalone Scripts - CLI tools for common bulk operations
• Dry Run Mode - Safely preview destructive operations

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/postforward/Iconik-MCP-Server.git
cd Iconik-MCP-Server

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build
npm run build

Configuration

Option 1: Config File (Recommended for Multiple Profiles)

Create iconik-config.json in the project directory:

{
  "default_profile": "production",
  "profiles": {
    "production": {
      "name": "Production Domain",
      "app_id": "your-app-id",
      "auth_token": "your-auth-token"
    },
    "staging": {
      "name": "Staging Domain",
      "app_id": "your-staging-app-id",
      "auth_token": "your-staging-auth-token",
      "api_url": "https://preview.iconik.cloud/API/"
    }
  }
}

The config file is searched in these locations:

1. Current working directory: ./iconik-config.json
2. Home directory: ~/.iconik-config.json
3. Package directory

Option 2: Environment Variables

For a single profile, use environment variables:

export ICONIK_APP_ID=your-app-id
export ICONIK_AUTH_TOKEN=your-auth-token
export ICONIK_API_URL=https://app.iconik.io/API/  # Optional

Or create a .env file:

ICONIK_APP_ID=your-app-id
ICONIK_AUTH_TOKEN=your-auth-token

Running

Stdio (default)

For local use with Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients:

node dist/index.js

HTTP

For remote or containerized deployment via Streamable HTTP:

MCP_TRANSPORT=http node dist/index.js

Endpoints:

• POST /mcp — MCP protocol (new session or existing via mcp-session-id header)
• GET /mcp — SSE stream for existing session
• DELETE /mcp — Close session
• GET /health — Health check

Access Levels

MCP_ACCESS_LEVEL controls which tools are registered at startup. Defaults to read for safety.

Level	Tools	Count
read	list, get, search, check	85
readwrite	read + create, update, bulk	126
full	readwrite + delete, purge	143

# Read-only (default)
node dist/index.js

# Read + write
MCP_ACCESS_LEVEL=readwrite node dist/index.js

# Full access
MCP_ACCESS_LEVEL=full node dist/index.js

Docker

# Build and run (read-only by default)
docker compose up --build

# With write access
MCP_ACCESS_LEVEL=readwrite docker compose up --build

# Full access
MCP_ACCESS_LEVEL=full docker compose up --build

Environment variables:

• ICONIK_APP_ID (required)
• ICONIK_AUTH_TOKEN (required)
• MCP_ACCESS_LEVEL (default read)
• MCP_PORT (default 8000)

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "iconik": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/Iconik-MCP-Server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "ICONIK_APP_ID": "your-app-id",
        "ICONIK_AUTH_TOKEN": "your-auth-token",
        "MCP_ACCESS_LEVEL": "readwrite"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then restart Claude Desktop.
