# Documentation

Beste UI is a catalog of production-ready UI built on shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS. Everything is copy-paste, framework-agnostic React, and installs straight into your project with the shadcn CLI, or through your AI agent over MCP.

[BlocksFull page sections: heroes, pricing, features, testimonials, footers. Drop one in and you have a finished section, wired with realistic demo content.](/blocks)[PiecesSmall, self-contained UI parts: stat cards, prompt inputs, badges of content, media rows. The building blocks you compose inside your own layouts.](/pieces)[ComponentsStyled primitives built on shadcn/ui: buttons, badges, inputs and more, with extra variants and tones beyond the defaults.](/components)

## What Beste UI is

Think of Beste UI as a well-organized shelf of UI you would otherwise build from scratch. Every item is a plain React component written for React 19, styled with Tailwind CSS v4, and built on the shadcn/ui primitives. There is no runtime dependency and no lock-in: when you install something, the source lands in your repository and it is yours to edit.

The catalog is split into three kinds of assets, from largest to smallest: [blocks](/blocks) (whole sections), [pieces](/pieces) (small composable parts), and [components](/components) (enhanced primitives). Most landing pages are a stack of blocks; pieces and components fill in the details.

## Two flavors: Radix and Base UI

shadcn/ui is moving its default primitive layer to [Base UI](https://base-ui.com). Every Beste asset ships in **both** flavors: a Base UI variant (served from `/r-base/…`, the default) and a Radix variant (`/r/…`). Pick whichever matches your stack; the markup and design are identical, only the underlying primitive differs. The install command on each asset page lets you switch flavor before you copy it.

## How you install

Two paths, same result:

* **shadcn CLI** — copy the install command from any asset page and run it. See [Installation](/docs/installation) and the [CLI reference](/docs/cli).
* **AI agent (MCP)** — connect the [Beste MCP server](/docs/mcp) to Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, or VS Code, then describe the UI you want in plain language.

## Free and Pro

A large part of the catalog is free. Pro assets unlock with a one-time license and fund continued work on the library. Read [Pricing & Pro](/docs/pricing) for the why, the student discount, and how to request new blocks.

## Ship the interface, keep the code.

New blocks, pieces and components every week. Install one with a command and it is yours to edit. No runtime dependency, no upgrade path to fight.
