I tried Shadcn CLI 3.0 — here’s what I learned

Shadcn CLI 3.0 introduces several enhancements and features aimed at streamlining developers' workflows, including the addition of namespaced and private registries, improved search and discovery capabilities, and MCP server integration. Namespaced registries allow developers to organize and manage component sources more effectively by using labels or prefixes, while private registries offer secure management of proprietary component libraries with support for authentication methods like Bearer tokens and API keys. Search and discovery tools enable developers to view, search, and list components without installation, enhancing project management and scalability. The MCP server integration further refines the component search process by allowing natural language queries across different code editors. These updates position Shadcn CLI as an essential tool for managing diverse UI components from multiple sources within a single project.
