If you prefer working in the IDE over copying install commands from the docs, the official Iconiq UI extension puts the full registry catalog in your sidebar. It uses the same shadcn workflow as the terminal — the generated files still land in your project.
VS Code extension
The extension is published on the VS Code Marketplace. Open your project, pick a component, and let shadcn add the source locally.
- Catalog grouped by the same categories as these docs
- Base UI and Radix UI picker when both variants exist
- Installed state for components already in your project
- One-click jump to component documentation
Compatible editors
Built on the standard VS Code extension API — runs in Visual Studio Code, Cursor, Antigravity, and other compatible forks.
AI coding tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cline, and Roo Code work alongside the sidebar. They do not replace it. If you want your assistant to install components for you, use the MCP setup guide instead.
