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

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
screenInstanceslist — extract screenId values if you need to inspect specific screens - Use
stitch-mcp-list-screensfor a richer view of the screen list including thumbnails
