Scored across 6 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no overlap: get-block-docs and get-component-docs retrieve documentation, install-blocks and install-component handle installation, and list-blocks and list-components provide listings. The block/component distinction and action types (get, install, list) create unambiguous boundaries.
All tools follow a perfect verb-noun pattern with consistent kebab-case formatting: get-block-docs, get-component-docs, install-blocks, install-component, list-blocks, list-components. The naming is completely predictable and follows the same structural convention throughout.
Six tools is reasonable for a Shadcn UI server, covering documentation retrieval, installation, and listing for both blocks and components. While slightly minimal, it provides core functionality without being overwhelming. A few additional tools like update or search might enhance it but aren't essential.
The toolset covers the main workflows for Shadcn UI: discovering components/blocks (list), accessing documentation (get), and installation (install). Minor gaps exist, such as no update/uninstall tools or search functionality, but the core CRUD-like operations for this domain are well-represented.
