## About shadcn/ui MCP Server
This community MCP server retrieves shadcn/ui v4 components, blocks, demos and metadata from GitHub, with implementations for React, Svelte, Vue and React Native and an option to use Base UI instead of Radix for React. It caches GitHub responses and can also run over SSE or in Docker for shared deployments.
