No install snippet on purpose. A working MCP config is a command, its arguments and an environment block — the last two are where API keys live, so this catalogue never stores them and cannot publish them. Follow the link above for the authors' own instructions.
It generates Tailwind CSS palettes from any color. The generated shades follow Tailwind's own colors computed in OKLCH. It supports Tailwind v4, v3, v2, and v1.
In VS Code, placing the cursor on a color and pressing Ctrl/Cmd + K Ctrl/Cmd + G generates a palette. The CLI can be run with npx tailwindshades-cli "#db4d53" --name brand. The MCP server can be connected and asked to add a brand color.
