Overview
Lightswind UI is a shadcn-style library of 160+ React components (Tailwind, Framer Motion, GSAP) copied into your project as .tsx files with `npx lightswind add`. It covers UI primitives, animated backgrounds, text and cursor effects, and 3D/WebGL pieces. A bundled MCP server lets Cursor, Claude Desktop or Cline search, read and install components.
Who it is for: React and Tailwind developers building animated UIs, with or without AI agents
Strengths
- Components are copied as local source, so no runtime dependency on the package
- CLI resolves component prerequisites and detects Next.js, Vite or CRA setups
- MCP server exposes search, source fetch and install tools to coding agents
- Includes 3D, shader and animated background components beyond standard UI primitives
Weaknesses
- Some components and page blocks require a paid Pro license key
- Needs Tailwind CSS v3 or v4 and React 18/19; no other frameworks listed
- Not an AI app starter: no auth, billing, database or model integration
- Animation and WebGL components pull in extra dependencies per component
What it needs
- TypeScript
- Needs Node.js 18+, React 18 or 19, Tailwind CSS v3 or v4
