shadcn-ui-mcp-server
A mcp server to allow LLMS gain context about shadcn ui component structure,usag
shadcn/ui works by copying component source into your project rather than installing a dependency. That creates a problem: the AI doesn't know what your copy of a component looks like, so it routinely invents props that don't exist.
This server feeds the AI the actual shadcn/ui component source, demos, and dependency graph. Ask for "a data table with filtering" and it works from the real Table and Select definitions, so the generated code actually runs.
Why use it
Good for: frontend developers on shadcn/ui who've been burned by hallucinated props.
Before connecting: it calls the GitHub API to fetch component source, so without a token you'll hit the 60-requests/hour limit. Configure a read-only token.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it support shadcn/ui v4?
It fetches component source across versions; check the repo README for exact coverage.
How is this better than reading the docs?
It provides source-level detail — real props, internal implementation, which other components are used — which is more complete than doc examples and directly consumable by the AI.
