shadcn/ui MCP Server in Cursor

Cursor speaks MCP natively — shadimage shows up as a tool source next to the built-in agent tools. Setup takes under a minute:

1
Open Cursor Settings → MCP & Integrations (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly).

Add the shadimage server:

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shadimage": {
      "url": "https://shadimage.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

3
Enable the server and start a new agent chat — search_components, get_component, compare_components and get_library are available immediately.

Then ask your agent

“Find a shadcn hero block with a glass-blur effect, compare the top three, and install the winner.”
