I add the MCP server (https://ui.shadcn.com/docs/mcp)

Then I instruct the coding agent to use shadcn / choose the right component from shadcn component registry

The MCP server has a search / discovery tool, and it can also fetch individual components. If you tell the AI agent to use a specific component, it will fetch it (reference doc here: https://ui.shadcn.com/docs/components)
