  -v, --version             Print the current version
  -c, --create-dictionary   Create the icons dictionary

Uninstalling

1. Remove the MCP from your IDE/agent. Eg: codex mcp remove <server-name>.
2. Remove the package.

   pnpm remove -g @vigi-p/lucide-mcp
   

3. Delete the ~/.lucide-mcp folder.

Dictionary Cache

On first run (or with --refresh), the project fetches icon metadata from the Lucide repo's icons directory and writes a local dictionary to ~/.lucide-mcp/dictionary.json.

A temporary cache directory is used during fetch and then removed (~/.lucide-mcp/cache).
