We’re excited to announce support for Shadcn CLI namespaced registries and improved API key authentication for our private registry.

This major update allows you to access all pro blocks and components directly from the CLI using environment variables, enabling seamless integration with MCP servers and other developer workflows.

Simply configure a new namespaced registry in your components.json, generate an API key in your dashboard (pro plan or higher required) and add your your API key to your .env file. You can now install components using commands like npx shadcn@beta add @shadcnblocks/hero125.
