KendoReact — Icon Assistant
Calling the Icon Assistant
Use the kendo_icon_assistant MCP tool to search for icons by name, purpose, or keyword.
Tool call:
kendo_icon_assistant({
query="<Description of the icon purpose or keyword>",
limit=0.3 // Adjust based on expected count: 0.1 for ~1 icon, 0.3 for a few icons, 1.0 for many
})
Examples:
kendo_icon_assistant({
query="save document",
limit=0.3
})
kendo_icon_assistant({
query="user profile avatar account",
limit=0.3
})
kendo_icon_assistant({
query="navigation arrow chevron",
limit=0.5
})
Using Icons in React
Prioritize SVG icons over font icons.
SVG Icons (Recommended)
Ensure the required packages are installed:
npm install @progress/kendo-svg-icons @progress/kendo-react-common
import { SvgIcon } from "@progress/kendo-react-common";
import { paperclipIcon } from "@progress/kendo-svg-icons";
function App() {
return (
<SvgIcon icon={paperclipIcon} />
);
}
Icon names returned by the tool are in camelCase with an Icon suffix (e.g., paperclipIcon, chevronDownIcon). Use them directly as imports from @progress/kendo-svg-icons.
You can also call kendo_component_assistant for the SvgIcon component for full API reference and docs.
Font Icons (Fallback)
If SVG is not an option, add the font icons CSS reference:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/@progress/kendo-font-icons/dist/index.css" />
import { Icon } from "@progress/kendo-react-common";
function App() {
return (
<Icon name="paperclip" />
);
}
You can call kendo_component_assistant for the Icon component for font icon API reference.
