What it is
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with access to shadcn/ui v4 components, blocks, demos, and metadata across React, Svelte, Vue, and React Native implementations.
How it works
The server exposes component source code, demos, blocks, metadata, and directory structure for multiple frameworks. It supports Server-Sent Events (SSE) transport for multi-client deployments, and can be deployed via Docker Compose. It offers a CLI to run with optional GitHub API token for higher rate limits and framework switching. It can be built locally from source and run via node build/index.js or npx usage.
