# FAQ Tabs

> The classic centred FAQ section: category tabs with counts over a hairline accordion, one answer open at a time or several. Search looks across every topic, groups hits under their category, highlights the matched words and opens answers where the match is. Questions deep-link by hash, find-in-page opens closed answers, and a "Still have questions?" card with team avatars closes it.

## Install

One-time setup (needs a subscription):

1. Add the registry to the project's `components.json`: `{"@assembli":{"url":"https://www.assembli.design/r/{name}.json","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer ${ASSEMBLI_API_KEY}"}}}` (merge into `"registries"`).
2. Put an API key from https://www.assembli.design/account in `.env.local` as `ASSEMBLI_API_KEY=asm_…`.

Then install with the shadcn CLI (writes `components/faq-tabs/faq-tabs.tsx` and installs dependencies):

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @assembli/faq-tabs
```

Registry item JSON: https://www.assembli.design/r/faq-tabs.json (send `Authorization: Bearer <api key>`)

To get one without copying anything, POST https://www.assembli.design/api/agent/login (or call the MCP tool connect_account), show the user the link it returns, and poll https://www.assembli.design/api/agent/token for the key. Or subscribe at https://www.assembli.design/pricing and create a key at https://www.assembli.design/account.
