Getting Started

Install shadmin and scaffold your first admin in minutes.

Installation

Install shadmin in any React framework — Next.js, Vite, React Router, or TanStack Start.

Quick Start

Install shadmin and point it at an API data source.

Guides and Concepts

Shadcn-Admin-Kit is based on ra-core, so the ra-core documentation applies, for the most part, to Shadcn-Admin-Kit as well.

Migrating from RA-UI

Shadmin re-implements the UI surface of ra-ui-materialui on top of shadcn/ui primitives while reusing ra-core for headless logic (data, auth, routing, i18n, state). Most upstream APIs translate directly: the hooks are unchanged and component prop names are preserved whenever possible. This page documents the additions and intentional deviations made during the port, plus the components that have no upstream equivalent.

MCP Server

Integrate shadmin with AI agents over the Model Context Protocol so assistants understand the component library and generate admin UIs.
