LLMs.txt

Let AI assistants use the compact shadcn.io documentation index.

shadcn.io provides a compact LLMs.txt (opens in a new tab) index so AI coding assistants can discover the documentation without crawling the full site.

Available Files

/llms.txt — Quick reference index for documentation.

Integration

Claude Code: Reference the docs in your prompt or add to your project’s .claude file:

@Docs https://shadcn.io/llms.txt

Learn more (opens in a new tab)

Windsurf: Add to your .windsurfrules file:

Other AI tools: Most assistants accept documentation URLs:

Live access with MCP

LLMs.txt points an assistant at the docs. The MCP server goes further: your agent searches the components, reads their docs and installs them for your framework through tools, and adds icons. See the quickstart.
