# Ferrofluid · Pro

A pool of glossy black fluid that rises into spikes under a magnet that follows the pointer: a noise field thresholded against a distance field, lit with a sharp specular. WebGL, written in the file.

This is a Charcoal UI Pro component. Its source and examples are available with a Pro seat: https://charcoalui.com/pricing

## With a Pro seat

1. Add the registry to components.json:

```json

      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${CHARCOAL_LICENSE_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

2. Copy your licence key from https://charcoalui.com/dashboard and put it in .env.local as CHARCOAL_LICENSE_KEY, then:

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @charcoal/ferrofluid

To read Pro source through this MCP server, reconnect it with the header "Authorization: Bearer <licence key>".
