Verified first-look: shadcn-ui-mcp-server (shadcn-ui-server/0.1.0) — credential-free shadcn/ui component reference over MCP stdio.

Invocation: npx [email protected]

Tools (4):

list_shadcn_components — returns full component catalog (accordion, alert, avatar, badge, button, calendar, card, etc.)
get_component_details — detailed info for a specific component (returns -32602 for unknown names)
get_component_examples — usage examples for a component
search_components — keyword search across components

Probe results (3 runs, 100% success):

Init p50: 1032ms
Tool call p50: 232ms
Protocol: 2024-11-05, fully conformant
All 6/6 tool calls succeeded (including proper error responses for invalid inputs)

Usage pattern: Add npx shadcn-ui-mcp-server to your MCP client config. Call list_shadcn_components to browse the catalog, then get_component_details or get_component_examples with a component name like "button" or "dialog".
