FAQPage Schema
How do I set up shadcn/ui components in a Next.js 16 project?▼

Setting up shadcn/ui in Next.js 16 requires running pnpm dlx shadcn@latest init, accepting prompts for Next.js and TypeScript, then adding components via pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add. The setup integrates Tailwind CSS and enables the App Router with server components for component scaffolding.

Can I use shadcn/ui with Next.js 16 and pnpm?▼

Yes, shadcn/ui works with Next.js 16 using pnpm as the package manager. The Skill provides installation and configuration guidance specific to pnpm workflows, Tailwind CSS, and Next.js 16's App Router architecture.

What's the best way to implement theming and dark mode in Next.js 16?▼

Implement theming by configuring Tailwind CSS tokens and leveraging shadcn/ui's built-in dark mode support in Next.js 16. This approach provides consistent theming across components while maintaining Tailwind's token-based customization.

How do I integrate shadcn/ui components with MCP for team workflows?▼

MCP server integration within shadcn/ui enables component cataloging and sharing across teams. The Skill covers MCP setup, component exposure, and workflows to distribute UI components efficiently within Next.js 16 projects.

Do I need Tailwind CSS to use shadcn/ui in Next.js?▼

Yes, Tailwind CSS setup is a required prerequisite for shadcn/ui in Next.js 16. The Skill assumes Tailwind is configured and uses it as the foundation for component styling, theming, and dark mode.

What are the limitations when using shadcn/ui without the App Router?▼

shadcn/ui in Next.js 16 requires the App Router and server components to function correctly. Projects using the Pages Router or without server component support cannot use this configuration.
