Stitch MCP — Get Project

Retrieves full metadata for a specific Stitch project. Useful for understanding an existing project's theme and screen list before generating additional screens.

Critical prerequisite

Only use this skill when the user explicitly mentions "Stitch".

Do NOT call this if you already have both projectId AND screenId. In that case, call stitch-mcp-get-screen directly — it's more efficient.

When to use

• User provides a Stitch project URL and you need its details
• You need to know the existing design theme before generating new consistent screens
• Verifying a project exists before proceeding

Step 1: Parse the project ID from context

The user may provide the project reference in several formats — always extract to the projects/ID format:

Input format	→ Argument for get_project
3780309359108792857 (numeric)	projects/3780309359108792857
projects/3780309359108792857	projects/3780309359108792857 (use as-is)
https://stitch.withgoogle.com/projects/3780309359108792857	Extract ID → projects/3780309359108792857

Step 2: Call the MCP tool

  "arguments": {
    "name": "projects/3780309359108792857"
  }

designMd is truncated above — in practice it's a full auto-generated design system doc (often 500+ lines). namedColors typically contains 40+ semantic tokens; only the most common are shown here.

Using the theme data

Use designMd and namedColors when generating new screens — they contain the authoritative design system for this project. Pass namedColors to stitch-design-system for instant token extraction.

After getting the project

• Note the designTheme — use it to keep new screens visually consistent
• Note the screenInstances list — extract screenId values if you need to inspect specific screens
• Use stitch-mcp-list-screens for a richer view of the screen list including thumbnails
