Installing Textlab with AI agents
Let Claude Code, Cursor or Codex find and install the right effect.
Agents do their best work when they can read real docs. Textlab gives them three ways in: the MCP server, llms.txt, and a Markdown page per component.
Connect once
Terminal
claude mcp add --transport http textlab https://textlab.dev/api/mcpAsk by job, not by markup
Prompt
Find a Textlab component for a price that changes live and add it to the checkout summary.The agent calls search_components, reads the match with get_component, and installs it with the shadcn CLI. Because the component's props are documented, it does not invent any.
Keep the rules
Add the Textlab skill so agents keep screen-reader text and reduced-motion branches when they edit the source.
