Overview

Google Stitch MCP Server (maintained by davideast) is the leading open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Google’s Stitch AI design platform (stitch.withgoogle.com). It bridges Stitch’s AI-generated UI designs with coding agents and IDEs.

AI tools can now discover and use Stitch designs in real time — fetching screens, screenshots, HTML code, and even building full sites — without manual exports or copy-pasting.

Key Features

Design-to-Code Tools: get_screen_code, get_screen_image, and build_site for instant frontend generation.
Local Preview: Serve Stitch screens on a Vite dev server for instant browser preview.
Astro Site Builder: Automatically map screens to routes and generate a deployable Astro project.
Interactive Browser: Terminal-based explorer for projects, screens, and metadata.
Proxy Mode: Exposes high-level tools to MCP clients with automatic token refresh and gcloud integration.
One-Command Setup: Guided init wizard handles authentication and MCP config.

How It Works

The server acts as a proxy between your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, etc.) and the Stitch API. It combines multiple Stitch calls into agent-friendly tools and injects clean design context (HTML, images, metadata) directly into the LLM conversation.

Supported transports: stdio (for IDEs) with full gcloud authentication support.

Setup & Installation

Quick Start

npx @_davideast/stitch-mcp init

This runs a guided wizard to set up gcloud auth, enable the Stitch API, and configure your MCP client.

Add to MCP Client (e.g. Cursor or Claude)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stitch": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@_davideast/stitch-mcp", "proxy"]
    }
  }
}

Prerequisites

Google Cloud project with Stitch API enabled
gcloud SDK installed
Billing enabled on the project
Node.js (for npx)

Available Tools

build_site: Map screens to routes and return full HTML for a multi-page site.
get_screen_code: Download production-ready HTML/CSS for any screen.
get_screen_image: Get screenshot as base64 for visual context.
Additional CLI commands: serve, screens, site, view, etc.

Use Cases

Design-to-Code Workflows: Ask Cursor or Claude to "build this Stitch design into a Next.js page" — get accurate code instantly.
Agent-Driven Development: Give coding agents visual context so they stop hallucinating UI.
Rapid Prototyping: Preview and iterate on Stitch designs locally before exporting.
Multi-Agent Pipelines: Combine with Google Antigravity, Cursor, or other MCP servers for end-to-end idea → UI → code → deploy.
Documentation & Handoff: Generate clean Astro sites from AI designs for stakeholder review.

Why Google Stitch MCP?

Stitch turns text prompts into beautiful responsive UIs. This MCP server makes those designs first-class citizens in your AI coding workflow — giving agents "eyes" on the exact design they need to implement.

It is actively maintained, lightweight, and works seamlessly with all major MCP clients.
