#What is MUI Treasury?

MUI Treasury is a free, open-source component registry for Material UI (MUI) that supplies hand-crafted themes, components, and blocks to help developers build modern, accessible interfaces quickly. Its primary goal is to extend MUI v7 with refined, minimalist designs, targeting React developers creating web apps like dashboards, landing pages, or SaaS platforms. Built with Next.js 15, MUI v7 with Emotion, Tailwind CSS v4, and TypeScript, MUI Treasury offers a monochromatic palette (pure black/white primaries), system colors (success, error, warning, info), subtle interactions, native typography, and 24 elevation shadows. It includes primitives (extended MUI building blocks) and AI elements for AI-integrated UIs. Inspired by shadcn/ui, it uses shadcn CLI for installation. For MUI users, MUI Treasury is a perfect fit, providing a refined design system with shadcn-like copy-paste workflow for React applications.
