Sora UI is a motion-first React component registry on the shadcn model. Install @soralabs/* primitives with the CLI, own the code in your repo, and ship scroll reveals, text effects, magnetic UI, and more — powered by Motion and GSAP with reduced-motion support built in. Includes a docs MCP server so Cursor and Claude can search components and install guides while you build. Free to use at ui.soralabs.io.vn.

Top comment

Hey PH! 👋

I'm Axyl, maker of Sora UI.

We built a motion-first component distribution for React — copy-paste install via shadcn CLI, fully owned source in your repo. Think shadcn/ui, but animation is the default, not an afterthought.

npx shadcn@latest add @soralabs/text-effect

Built with Tailwind, Framer Motion, and GSAP.
Docs: ui.soralabs.io.vn

I started this because porting complex vanilla animations into React and making them production-ready (handling cleanups, lifecycles, and performance) kept being harder than it should be. Sora UI is our answer:

  • Accessible Defaults: Built-in support for prefers-reduced-motion out of the box.

  • AI-Native / MCP Ready: We built a dedicated remote MCP server https://mcp.soralabs.io.vn. If you use Cursor or Claude, your AI assistant can contextually browse our docs, search primitives, and install components for you via natural language!

Would love to know: what's the one UI animation you always wished was a one-liner install?

Feedback, questions, roast the docs — all welcome. Thanks for checking us out today!

Comment highlights

finally a motion library that doesn't fight me on accessibility, the reduced-motion fallbacks are baked in which is rarer than it should be. the docs MCP idea is genuinely clever too

Motion-first approach feels right for modern sites, and having reduced-motion baked in by default is something more libraries should do.

How does the MCP server handle updates when you push new components, does it auto refresh inside Cursor or do I need to restart the agent each time?

The shadcn-style ownership of the code is what sold me, and the reduced-motion fallback actually feels thoughtful rather than tacked on. Wish the GSAP bundle was a bit lighter but the magnetic button primitives alone are worth grabbing.

how does the MCP server actually work in practice, like does Cursor automatically suggest Sora components when im building or do I have to invoke it manually?
