## ❌ Without shadcn-vue MCP

Developers face multiple challenges when building UI components:

- ❌ **Tedious Development Workflow**: Constantly switching between the IDE, official documentation, and browser severely impacts development efficiency and focus.
- ❌ **Difficulty in Component Selection**: Faced with numerous components from `shadcn-vue`, developers struggle to quickly find the best fit for their needs without intelligent recommendations.
- ❌ **High Repetitive Workload**: Involves manually writing extensive boilerplate code and handling various component states and complex interaction logic.
- ❌ **Insufficient Quality Assurance**: It's easy to overlook quality standards like accessibility (A11y), performance optimization, and best coding practices, leading to inconsistent component quality.
- ❌ **High Maintenance Costs**: As the project grows, manually maintaining the style, behavior, and dependencies of all components becomes exceptionally difficult, making consistency hard to achieve.

## ✅ With shadcn-vue MCP

shadcn-vue MCP provides an intelligent UI component development experience that revolutionizes the traditional workflow:

- ✅ **One-Stop Development Experience**: Complete the entire process—from component selection and coding to preview—without ever leaving your editor, simply by describing your needs in natural language.
- ✅ **Intelligent Component Recommendation**: The `components-filter` tool intelligently analyzes your requirements and recommends the most suitable `shadcn-vue` components.
- ✅ **High-Quality Code Auto-Generation**: `component-builder` automatically generates high-quality Vue component code that complies with `shadcn-vue` and `tailwindcss` standards, with best practices built-in.
- ✅ **Built-in Quality Assurance**: `component-quality-check` automatically performs accessibility (A11y) and code quality checks on the generated code, ensuring professional-grade components.
