FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 11, 2026 Axialis IconVectors 1.40 Adds Public MCP Automation for AI-Assisted SVG Icon Workflows Axialis Software introduces Axialis IconVectors 1.40, a lightweight and intuitive SVG icon editor tailored for developers and UI designers. Version 1.40 adds public Model Context Protocol (MCP) support so local AI assistants can create, draw, edit, inspect, render, and export icons directly through the running editor. Available now for Windows and macOS. Paris, FRANCE - Axialis Software, a leading provider of design software solutions, announces the release of Axialis IconVectors 1.40, a specialized vector icon editor designed specifically for software developers, UI designers, and software engineers. Axialis IconVectors is a streamlined, lightweight editor optimized for creating and editing SVG icons with precision and speed. Unlike heavier vector illustration tools such as Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape, IconVectors targets pixel-perfect accuracy required for small vector assets in software and web applications. Version 1.40 introduces a public local MCP integration. With this release, MCP-capable AI clients can connect to the running editor and work with the real document state instead of relying on detached SVG source text. This enables practical AI-assisted workflows for icon drafting, geometry cleanup, palette-based recoloring, rendering, code generation, and export while keeping IconVectors as the source of truth. Key features of Axialis IconVectors 1.40 include: • Public MCP Integration - IconVectors now exposes a local Model Context Protocol server so AI assistants can create, draw, edit, inspect, render, and export SVG vector icons through the live desktop editor. • Compatible AI Clients - Designed for local MCP-capable hosts such as Codex and other OpenAI tooling on the same machine, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Visual Studio Code with GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and similar desktop or CLI clients that can launch a local stdio MCP server. • Live Editor Automation - MCP workflows operate on the same document, layers, groups, palettes, transforms, and export/code-generation pipeline used by the normal user interface. • Developer Code Targets - Export or generate code in SVG, minified SVG, SVG Symbol, XAML, WPF Geometry, VectorDrawable, SwiftUI, ReactTS, VueTS, and C++. • Recolor with Palette - Recolor the full icon using only colors from the selected palette, with closest-color mapping and full undo support. • Lock Layers - Lock/unlock elements and groups directly in the layer list to prevent accidental selection or mouse edits while keeping artwork visible. • Focus Mode - Press Tab or use the menu command to quickly hide UI panels and toolbars for distraction-free editing. • Auto-center Canvas - Optional toggle to automatically re-center the canvas when resizing the main window or toggling Focus Mode. • GPU Acceleration (Optional) - Enable GPU-assisted rendering in Preferences to improve responsiveness on compatible systems. • Bug Fixes - Numerous fixes and workflow refinements improve reliability across editing, export, and automation scenarios. "Axialis IconVectors is crafted specifically for developers and designers who demand precision and efficiency," says Marc EMILE, CEO of Axialis Software. "We understand the need for productivity-focused tools in software development, and IconVectors fills this niche with powerful, intuitive features and unmatched ease of use. Public MCP support extends that vision by letting AI assistants work with the real editor in a controlled, practical way." Axialis IconVectors integrates effortlessly into developer workflows, compatible with popular tools like Visual Studio, VS Code, and Adobe Illustrator. With MCP enabled, local AI clients can now drive the same editor for icon drafting, cleanup, recoloring, rendering, and export. The application is available for Windows and macOS. Regular updates with additional developer-focused features are planned, reinforcing Axialis Software's commitment to staying aligned with modern software development practices.
