What is it?

Cult UI is a collection of more than 150 animated UI components for React projects that use shadcn/ui. Each component is published as a shadcn/ui registry item, so the shadcn CLI copies its source code into your project and you own and edit the code directly.

Components are written with TypeScript, use Tailwind CSS v4 and shadcn theme tokens for styling, and most rely on Motion for animation. Each documentation page lists its dependencies. Installation works either by pointing the CLI at a single component's JSON URL or by registering a namespace in components.json and installing by name.

The project also offers documentation in markdown and llms.txt formats for coding agents, and a shadcn MCP server that lets editors such as Cursor, Claude Code and VS Code search and install components from a prompt. The library is MIT licensed.
