`icon`

A glyph by name or Lucide component; allowing icon allows every icon set.

**One token contract, every theme.** Display components take color, radius, density and state styling from the --tx-* token contract — the same variables the theme strip below overrides — so a theme swap re-colors them without per-component fixes.

## In your theme

This page renders in the site theme, `enterprise-neutral`. Every one of the **210** library themes re-colors every component through the `--tx-*` contract. The three below carry real token values from the library, rendered at build — no island, no extra requests.

## For agents

The live preview, prop editor and copyable code run in the browser. The component manifest holds the same props, events, examples and guidance as data. The live parts run in the browser and are not in this Markdown; the operations below do the same work through the read-only MCP server at https://texuli.com/mcp (no sign-in; see https://texuli.com/auth.md).

MCP operations ([reference](https://github.com/DailybotHQ/texuli/blob/main/packages/tools/docs/ops.md#operations)):

- `component.get`: Read a component manifest with `{"id":"icon"}`.
- `example.search`: Find component examples.
- `catalog.search`: Search the component catalog.
